Review of
Sleepy Hollow Early Childhood Centre Crumlin
from E F (Mother of Child) published on 28 November 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

The staff at Sleepy Hollow are excellent. They offer a wide range of age-appropriate activities while offering a safe and caring environment for the children to develop. They have a strong focus on sensory and outdoor play, which are excellent for child development. We have found our child's language

skills and skills such as eating and handwashing have developed as a result of his attendance. Would highly recommend Sleepy Hollow as a childcare facility and intend to continue to use them until our child attends school.

Review of
Sleepy Hollow Early Childhood Centre Lisburn
from Natasha S (Mother of Child) published on 3 November 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Both my children absolutely love Sleepy Hollow! My little boy (nearly 4) has been there for over two years now, and it's amazing to see how much he has grown in confidence. He adores preschool and the incredible staff who make it such a fun and nurturing environment. My little girl, aged 1, in the baby

room is also so settled.

The staff are incredibly kind and caring, and they really take the time to get to know each child and build lovely relationships with parents, especially at pick up time.

They put so much thought into the activities they plan each week, and the various themes around holidays and opportunities for parent 'stay and play' sessions.

I would highly recommend Sleepy Hollow to any parent

Overall Experience

Thank you so much to all the lovely staff at Aldergrove, my son has been going to the 2-3 year programme and absolutely loves it. The staff are always so welcoming and greet him by name every morning, he always comes home with crafts and things that he has done throughout the morning and he looks forward

to seeing the staff here each day. Really impressed and already thinking of registering my other child here. It's a great nursery where everybody is treated like family.

Overall Experience

I have had two children use this nursery and between them, they have been in every room. I can't praise this nursery enough, they seem to all care so much about the babies and children, they really go the extra mile and there are so many wonderful things that they do with the children. All the staff

and managers have been extremely supportive, the facilities and outside space are amazing and I get lots of updates on how they are doing. The best thing is they have both loved going in and I always felt confident dropping them there knowing they would have a brilliant day and be well cared for.

Overall Experience

All of the staff are so lovely, they are so down to earth. The kids love going in each morning. They were so supportive of my daughter's potty training, which made the whole process much less stressful.
In pre-school I have seen my son's confidence grow so much.
The communication with the parents

and grandparents is always clear. With lots of opportunities for us to visit and join in throughout the year.

from Ashleigh W (Mother of Child) published on 14 January 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My daughter has been going to the Eager and Able to Learn programme since September and has been doing really well, I can tell she loves going because she's always saying her carer's name at home and runs up to the nursery every morning. At the very beginning, she was very shy and cried every morning

but the staff were warm and engaging with her and she quickly got settled. She enjoys the activities that they have out in the room and in the drier months, she loves playing in the park that they have right outside her room.

Overall Experience

Good evening. We love the nursery and staff. In particular, the manager is a professional who runs a tight ship and is always on hand. Kind, thoughtful and always willing to get stuck in. The staff are welcoming and make a real effort, sometimes going above and beyond to support the children. One of

the staff always with a welcoming smile and arms outstretched for our youngest, other staff members are also brilliant. Another two are ever vigilant over our oldest, he comes home happy, stimulated and inspired. His words and knowledge amaze us constantly, we feel this is down to the care provided by the girls. Thank you.

Overall Experience

I can never say thank you enough for all the hard work, effort and commitment all the staff gave my daughter. She can't always be the easiest as she has bouts of awful separation anxiety and diva moments but they are always so comforting and understanding. She has come on leaps and bounds socially and

that's down to every staff member she comes into contact with! I know she will have the best start to Primary Education because of the care and guidance the wonderful ladies in Sleepy Hollow have given.

from D S (Father of Child) published on 6 January 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My child only visits two days a week, a Monday and a Thursday. This was his first experience away from family over any period of time. The staff were and have been awesome since my son started in September. They helped him settle in quickly and ensured that plenty of updates, photos and messages were

sent through the app so both me and mum were able to see how settled he was throughout the day.
Due to a shift change at work, I enquired whether I would be able to swap Monday to Wednesday. Without hesitation, the staff agreed to change my son's stay to a Wednesday and Thursday.
The communication that we receive when my son is at nursery is fantastic.

from M M (Mother of Child) published on 6 January 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

I have been extremely pleased with the service provided by the crèche over the past year. The staff have been absolutely brilliant, so loving, caring, and attentive to my child's needs. It's been wonderful to see how much he loves going and as a parent, it's such a comfort to know he is always happy

and content.
The crèche does such a fantastic job in so many small ways that often go unnoticed. From the lovely Mother's Day and Father's Day breakfasts to the thoughtful little touches like tea and coffee for parents, the fundraising for children in need, and the seasonal decorations at the entrance, it all adds up to a warm, welcoming, and thoughtful environment for both children and families.
I truly appreciate everything the team does and would highly recommend this crèche to other parents.

Overall Experience

Sleepy Hollow Crumlin is an amazing branch for childcare. My daughter gets excited to go every week, which makes it easier for myself when going to work. The staff are fantastic! Nothing is ever too much for them. My daughter runs through the door most mornings, but the mornings when she is tearful

leaving me, the staff have such a comforting way of encouraging her to come in for fun.
The wrap-around program is also extremely helpful, I can drop my daughter to Sleepy Hollow then they will bring her to school and pick her up again! She loves getting on the bus with her friends.
Most days she will come home with different arts and crafts which she has completed while being there or will sing me songs they have danced to.
I could not think of a better childcare facility for my daughter, I know she is safe, having fun and being well looked after

Overall Experience

My children both started attending Sleepy Hollow Crumlin last January, after a quick and easy settling-in period, they were more than happy with the transition. Sleepy Hollow has helped them immensely with confidence and social skills and it makes everything so much easier, knowing your kids are happy

and well looked after while you are at work. We love the updates and photos and hearing all about their days

from C N (Mother of Child) published on 6 January 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My little girl has been going to Sleepy Hollow in Crumlin since she was 10 months old (she's now 2 and a half.) Throughout her time there, I can honestly say I have not had one bad experience. She has progressed through 2 rooms and I find each transition has been handled perfectly, with my child's needs

being a priority each time. I find this is a reflection on the staff and the care they provide.
When we approach the building each morning she gets excited and shouts out "Yay, daycare!" as she genuinely enjoys being there which makes going to work so much easier knowing my child is in an environment that allows her to thrive.

from A M (Mother of Child) published on 6 January 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

We enrolled our little one into Sleepy Hollow earlier this year after a not so nice experience with a separate nursery. I was so relieved with my initial experiences in touring the centre, settling in days and now just a general daycare experience.
The staff are so kind and considerate of getting

to know each and every child's individual needs as well as the parents. My little one is delighted to see the staff each morning and I am sent lots of lovely updates and pictures throughout the day.
They monitor the progress and milestones of each child so intently and give positive feedback at handover each day. They take care in providing fun and educational activities for the children every week and I look forward to seeing what they've been up to.
I am so confident in the high standard and level of care my child is getting at Sleepy Hollow and I recommend them to anyone looking for a childcare facility they can love and trust!

A fantastic team all around. The nursery teachers in the early world are superb and our child loves the way they greet her in the morning. She is coming along with her words and counting which I am sure a large part is down to Sleepy Hollow Lisburn.
Thank you and Merry Xmas to the whole.

Overall Experience

Our little boy loves his time at Sleepy Hollow Lisburn branch. The staff are so attentive and we were impressed that everyone (not just our son's primary caregivers) knew our boy's name. When he started in November we were reassured as felt quite anxious for him starting nursery. The staff alleviated

all concerns and our boy has settled into the environment seamlessly. He seems to keep busy with and enjoy the varied activities available to him. We would definitely recommend Sleepy Hollow to other parents. Very happy with our whole experience.

My son started the early years learning programme back in January and within this year he has settled so well, more confident, his speech is coming on. I can't thank the girls enough for their hard work and dedication towards every child is amazing. My wee boy loves going to nursery every day and always

has an enjoyable day and always goes in with a smile and comes out with a smile. I can't thank the girls enough they are all amazing. I would highly recommend Sleepy Hollow to other parents.

Overall Experience

The team at Sleepy Hollow are quickly becoming our second family. The attention to detail, friendly staff and creative atmosphere are just a few reasons I highly recommend it! The facilities are bright, clean, and equipped with various age-appropriate toys and learning materials that encourage explorative

learning. We receive regular updates and photos throughout the day to keep us connected to our child's day. Whether this is what she ate at lunchtime to sharing play-based learning and structured activities. The dedication and genuine compassion of the team have made my transition back to work much easier than I could have imagined. It is an absolute joy to see the excitement of my daughter when we drop her off in the mornings.

Overall Experience

My children initially went to a different Sleepy Hollow branch and I moved them both to Aldergrove when it was taken over due to the outside space and that there is a preschool onsite. The facilities are first class and both my children are so happy here. Being able to have both in one place (one preschool

and one daycare) is such a bonus when you are a working parent tight for time in the mornings. The staff are a credit to the place, every single one is so friendly and you can tell they love what they do.
