Dreamcatcher’s story so far

Dreamcatcher Childcare was set up in 2011 based on the principles of building strong partnerships with parents and children based on trust and respect. When founder, Lynne Turner, retired in 2024, she handed over the baton to Mary Brosnan.

Mary set up the Storybook Nursery in Ascot, where a focus looking after parents and children and the pursuit of the highest standards has always been at the top of the agenda.

This alignment of values, the shared experience of running an independent nursery and familiarity with local catchment schools made Mary just the person to continue the Dreamcatcher story.

Dreamcatcher Childcare is a real local neighbourhood nursery. It’s charming character building has three sizeable classroom spaces and a dedicated chef on site to provide nutritious meals. Its ample outdoor area is a wonderful space for learning, playing and letting off steam with friends!

The new ownership brings experience and commitment to continuing the Dreamcatcher story of providing an EYFS environment that is a comfortable, nurturing, educational and caring for nursery age children.

Follow your child’s journey!

The early years are a wonderful period for all parents and their children, a journey marked by many first steps. At Dreamcatcher we are well aware that time goes fast, which is why we record the achievements of each child in their learning journals. We also email parents a weekly newsletter called the Dreamcatcher Bulletin so that parents can keep up with our busy day to day!

These learning journals become a unique record of your child’s experiences, observations, photographs and pieces of artwork. There’s also space so parents and families can add their own input to capture all aspects of a child’s early years.

Our testimonials

"From the moment he joined he was loved and nurtured and I have not once questioned our decision to send him to Dreamcatcher. Dreamcatcher has been part of our life and we will cherish all the memories forever. The incredible staff team are a true credit to the teaching profession." - The Cooper Family

"It is so important to a parent to be confident that you are leaving your "baby" in the best place and the proof in that has been that he has been so happy for 4 years, he cant wait to go to nursery in the morning and doesn't want to leave when we pick him up at the end of the day. We will be so sad when he leaves but we know he has had the best start and the most love from this wonderful nursery." - The Baker Family

"To everyone at Dreamcatcher, you have saved us from worry, guilt and heartache as we knew our children were loved and cherished at Dreamcatcher. We couldn't have asked for anymore. We love you and will miss you terribly." - The Prowse family

"Dreamcatcher has given us so much more than just a nursery. It has provided the foundations to our sons learning journey and social skills. Each morning at drop-off we are confident that he is in safe and caring hands and more importantly he relishes every day. Merci!" - The Pethen Family
