My eldest son attended Little Dreamzz over 4 years ago and I didnt hesitate using her again.
My youngest son has been going to Little Dreamzz from the age of 5 months old. He loved his time at Jills. All the team are AMAZING :) I cannot thank them enough for the progress my son has made during his time there. He is now at school full time but will be back at Little Dreamzz in the holidays.

Thank you we miss him but look forward to seeing him in holiday

My little girl has been going here for around 2 years now. I have never had any problems, all the staff are very friendly, helpful and brilliant with the way they interact with the kids. They are flexible, approachable and always happy to help, I couldn't ask for any more from them. My little girl loves coming here and has developed and learned so much since she has been attending Little DreamZz, she has lots of friends here and she is always making pictures and cards and gifts to bring home for mummy and daddy.
