Georgia started Sleepy Hollow 2-3 room in October 2025. She runs to nursery everyday and somedays she doesn't want to leave !
Her teachers Claire , Rosie and Tara go above and beyond to engage and interact with Georgia as she comes across shy , which she is definitely not ! The staff always show the upmost of patience towards the kids .

They are so friendly towards me, as a mother and never fail to have a daily Conversation creating a relaxing environment.

Reply from Diane Koplewsky, Owner at Sleepy Hollow Early Childhood Centre Aldergrove

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. We are delighted to hear how much Georgia is enjoying her time in our 23 room. The fact that she runs into nursery each day, and sometimes does not want to leave, is the greatest compliment we could receive.

I cannot recommend Sleepy Hollow Early Childhood Centre Lisburn enough.

Review of Sleepy Hollow Early Childhood Centre Lisburn from J G (Father of Child) published on 5 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We couldn't be happier with Sleepy Hollow Nursery. From the very beginning, the team has been welcoming, caring, and genuinely invested in the children's happiness and development.

The staff are absolutely wonderful - kind, attentive, and always full of energy. It's clear how much they care about the children, and that really shows in the way our son talks about his day. He genuinely loves going in each morning, which says everything. He comes home happy, chatty, and excited to tell us about what he's been doing.

We've also been so impressed with the range of activities they provide. There's a great balance of learning, creativity, and play, all in a safe and nurturing environment. The communication with parents is excellent too - we always feel informed and reassured.

We feel incredibly lucky that our son is at Sleepy Hollow Nursery and would wholeheartedly recommend it to any family looking for a warm, supportive, and fun place for their child.

Review of Sleepy Hollow Early Childhood Centre Lisburn from A R (Mother of Child) published on 4 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

A very friendly and happy nurturing place. Staff are very attentive and full of inspirational ideas and 'invitations'. My little girl loves the place and it has really helped her to grow in confidence. Her language is developing excellently and I put this down to the great staff and the conversations they have with her, treating her as a 'mini adult'.

Review of Sleepy Hollow Early Childhood Centre Aldergrove from S M (Mother of Child) published on 3 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our eldest son (now aged 5 and in P1) and our youngest son (now 2 and currently in the 2-3 room) both attended Sleepy Hollow Aldergrove from nine months old. The patience of the staff is never ending, and their ability to reassure tearful children at drop off (Rosie and Chloe have had to do this numerous times through the years!) is welcomed by nervous parents!
We cannot express how wonderful this nursery is. The staff are amazing - caring, nurturing, and supportive. Our boys have both developed wonderfully thought their time there.
The wide ranging types of activities and play, the food and snacks offered at break time, involvement of the parents, it's all second to none. Both of our boys learned to use cutlery at an astoundingly young age and I have to say we cannot take credit for that - it's all down to the staff at the nursery!
Also must mention Sandra who is a brilliant nursery manager.

We would never hesitate to recommend this nursery.

Review of Sleepy Hollow Early Childhood Centre Crumlin from Nina P (Mother of Child) published on 3 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our little one absolutely loves being part of the Polpetto Room at Crumlin ECC. Each morning, he takes part in the "Eager and Able to Learn" programme, which has made a remarkable difference in his development - we've truly seen the positive impact it has had on his confidence, skills, and overall growth.

The team are always approachable and more than happy to answer any questions we may have. Their warmth, dedication, and genuine care give us complete peace of mind, knowing he is not only well looked after but also supported and encouraged every single day.

My daughter has been at sleepy hollow aldergrove for a year and a half now starting in the baby room and has recently moved to the 2-3 room she absolutely loves the staff in both rooms.

Review of Sleepy Hollow Early Childhood Centre Aldergrove from Victoria M (Mother of Child) published on 2 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Both of my sons have been in sleep hollow aldergrove for several years with one moving onto primary school this year. The ladies in aldergrove have been brilliant with my boys. They are so caring and professional. My boys love them. My younger son runs into nursery everyday and loves to show me what he has made at the end of reach day. The outside space at the nursery was a big selling point for me and the kids gain so much from it, they are always outside and the play equipment is amazing outside. My son has some medical issues and the staff are amazing at watching him and letting know any concerns quickly. I wouldn't move my kids anywhere else and that is down to the great staff and care.

Review of Sleepy Hollow Early Childhood Centre Lisburn from Hannah M (Mother of Child) published on 2 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We couldn't be happier with our experience at Sleepy Hollow Nursery. From the very beginning, the team has been so welcoming, caring, and attentive, which made settling in such a smooth and positive experience for our son.

He absolutely loves attending and is always excited to go in each day, which says everything. It's been wonderful to see how much he has grown in confidence, independence, and social skills during his time there. The staff truly take the time to understand each child as an individual, and their nurturing approach has helped him thrive both emotionally and developmentally.

The activities are creative, engaging, and clearly planned with care, and are always impressed by how much he is learning while having so much fun. It gives us such peace of mind knowing he is in a safe, happy, and stimulating environment.

Thank you to everyone at Sleepy Hollow for the incredible work you do - we are so grateful for the positive impact you've had on our son's early years.

Reply from Diane Koplewsky, Owner at Sleepy Hollow Early Childhood Centre Lisburn

I Cannot recommend Sleepy Hollow enough. The staff are extremely understanding of different family circumstances and do their best to accommodate and support both child and parent.
Staff have worked alongside my daughter's behavioural and speech issues without exclusion or judgement. The staff have
provided a variety of different tools to help my daughter not only at school but also at home.

They have also came up with plans and strategies for my daughters so that they can still attend to the best of their abilities.

We've had such a lovely experience with Sleepy Hollow Lisburn. Both of my children have attended for the past two years, and I honestly couldn't ask for a better childcare setting. I feel like I have a great relationship with all of the staff - they're always friendly, welcoming, and genuinely caring.

Review of Sleepy Hollow Early Childhood Centre Lisburn from Alana W (Mother of Child) published on 26 February 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I wrote a review when my first child attended in 2024. Now my second child also attends and it hasn't changed at all. They are great with him and have the patience of saints. He goes in smiling every day and gets so excited when we pull up. They are very encouraging, he was slower when it came to speech and with their help he now doesn't stop talking! They treat him like their own which is such a relief as a parent when it comes to leaving your child. They have daily updates on meals/nap times etc... Every time I pick him up they give me a briefing on what they have done that day. There is always a manager in the office so if anyone needs anything you can knock any time and they will have time for you. I would recommend Sleepy Hollow 100 times over!

My eldest child has been going to this nursery for 2 years and my youngest started last month. All the staff handled this settling in period with care and compassion to both me and my child. I was provided with plenty of reassurance and felt confident my child was being cared for in a safe and supportive environment.

Both of my children are clearly thriving from their time at this nursery, developing skills socially, mentally and physically. I receive ample evidence on the app of their daily activities which are varied and stimulating. Both children have clearly developed bonds with the staff, speaking about them fondly to me when not in nursery.

I cannot recommend sleepy hollow Crumlin, Ann and Rebecca who look after my son are incredible at their jobs, along with all staff. They go above and beyond to make sure each day is full of learning, exploring in nature and love and fun. Albie has progressed so much during his time in the baby room, he was only sitting up when he started to now walking around the room with the girls encouragement.
