Dandelions Day Nursery and Preschool

"Our daughter has been attending Dandelions for a year and we have been impressed with the warmth and care shown by staff. Communication via the app is good, e.g. meals, nappy changes, sleep times and a daily post about activities with pictures."

Come and Explore our beautiful nursery in Andover

Welcome to Bright Horizons Dandelions Day Nursery and Preschool in Hampshire, where we nurture children aged 3 months to 5 years, ensuring they receive the very best start. Our nursery can be found just off the A303, conveniently surrounded by expansive green space, close to the historic Stonehenge We also have an onsite buggy park to ease pick up and drop off.

In our age-specific rooms, we provide a fantastic start to children’s educational journey through our enriching and wellbeing-focused Bright Beginnings Curriculum, designed by our own Early Years specialists.

To ensure a smooth transition for your baby and give you peace of mind, we collaborate with you to maintain your home routine. Our baby room is filled with exciting sensory activities and home comforts, including a peaceful sleep room, to fully support their move from home to nursery.

Our toddler room, designed for children aged 18 months to 2.5 years, features large windows that fill the space with natural light. The room includes a creative area equipped for sensory and artistic activities, a cosy corner for rest, story time, and quiet moments with staff, as well as a role-play area. Continuous provisions such as sand, water, and loose parts are available throughout the day. The room also has its own bathroom, a separate nappy-changing area, and direct access to the garden, allowing children free-flow to play outdoors.

Preschoolers enjoy their own dedicated space, led by a qualified preschool teacher who focuses on equipping them with key skills to ensure they feel ready and confident to start school.

Your child will love our large outdoor space, which is thoughtfully divided into areas tailored to each age group, ensuring the best resources for their needs. The garden also features an outdoor classroom adjacent to the preschool room, offering shelter from the elements so children can enjoy outdoor activities regardless of the weather. Budding explorers will make exciting discoveries in our very own Forest School, fostering their natural curiosity and love of learning.

While your child is busy exploring and having fun, we can keep you updated via our Family app. Available for all Bright Horizons parents, this will keep you connected with your child's day-to-day experiences and up to date as they develop during their time with us.

We also offer Settling in Sessions tailored to suit you and your family. Please ask our nursery manager for more information.

Nursery Fee Calculator

Our calculator enables you to estimate your basic fees BEFORE childcare funding is applied. We’ve taken this approach as funding is dependent on your own very individual situation, how old your child is, where you live, whether you’re working, or you get discounts from your workplace.

Our comprehensive funding guides provide guidance on what funding you’re likely to be eligible for, we can send this to you after you’ve estimated your fees.

When you visit us, we can also help you understand your options and work out what your net fees will be after any childcare funding is taken into account.

Estimate your fees

Oops! We appear to be having a few technical challenges! Our team is working hard to get our fee calculator back up and running soon as soon as possible. Thanks for bearing with us.

In the meantime, if you need some answers or to book a nursery visit, then please call us on 01264313165, our friendly team is here to help.
