Review from Stacey D (Mother of Child) published on 23 December 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My two children have been in Sleepy Hollow Group since they were babies. All the staff are amazing. The facilities are excellent. Every morning, we are greeted with a smile. The staff go above and beyond for the children and their families. I never worry when leaving the children as they always come home happy after a day at Sleepy Hollow.

Excellent and pleasant staff who go out of their way to ensure my child is safe and having a good experience. My child doesn't ever want to be picked up early so that says it all. Thanks to all the staff.

Two of my children have now attended Sleepy Hollow Group. The staff are all wonderful and I pick up very happy children every time they attend the nursery.

Staff are attentive, the selection of meals served is great and the facilities are brilliant.

Review from Sally L (Mother of Child) published on 21 February 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The early childhood centre has been fabulous through this pandemic. They have done their absolute best. We had home approved childcare by one of the staff as I worked in the NHS for the first three months of the pandemic, and when the nursery went open, I was happy for both my children to go back into a group setting. Their attention to detail has been so good throughout. I can't wait to be able to get back into the nursery again to see the day to day things, but the use of the software app has helped keep us in touch.

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

Thank you so much for your kind review. Hopefully, we are returning a new normality for our setting, and we look forward to welcoming parents back into our nursery.

A beautiful setting with well qualified and engaging staff. A wide range of activities are available for the children. My kids have absolutely loved it - have had to drag them home at the end of the day.

I was very anxious about settling my daughter back in after being off for a few months but a certain member of staff was absolutely amazing put my mind at ease. The girls in the room are brilliant with my daughter and I love getting the pictures and updates throughout the day.

Friendly, professional caring staff. Clean and tidy setting. Communication with parents and regular updates via the app provide reassurance. Staff observations and photographs of our child doing interesting things are provided throughout the week. Plenty of outdoor play and walks.

Staff are good and attentive to the child. I feel we get good feedback on how the day has gone. No concerns with having our child here. He seems happy and content and gets to take part in different activities during the day.

Overall Experience

Sleepy Hollow is a 5* childcare setting. My son loves his time there and it's been brilliant for his development. The staff are amazing. My child has bonded with them and trusts them. I am updated several times each day via the parents' app on things such as what he's done (with pics) how he has eaten and when he's asleep.

Review from Emily M (Mother of Child) published on 2 October 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Sleepy Hollow Nursery Crumlin is outstanding. Its Reggio Emilia approach is full of adventure and wonder, providing the perfect learning environment for young children. The staff are amazing and go the extra mile every day for the children in their care. The leadership team are committed and passionate professionals who seem to continually reflect and develop the nursery in the best interests of the children. My youngest begs to stay for high tea because she loves the food and the bus driver is nothing other than a local hero. A super team who deserve recognition for this excellent provision.

Review from Perpetua L (Mother of Child) published on 2 October 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter has been at Sleepy Hollow since she was 8 months old. This is now her last year with them. There has always been fun and educational activities for the children during the day and great summer schemes. My daughter has always enjoyed her time at Sleepy Hollow. The staff are always courteous, helpful and approachable. I know that my daughter is always in good safe hands when she is with the staff in Sleepy Hollow. We will miss them when she finishes this year.

Review from Jennifer M (Mother of Child) published on 30 September 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Sleepy Hollow is the perfect setting for our daughter. She loves it so much we find it difficult to get her to come home. The girls encourage her in everything that she does and because she is in contact with other children her age, the speed of her development is incredible. The nursery allows our daughter to craft, and have done from a young age, which is something we just wouldn't take on at home. Sleepy Hollow enables us to carry out our jobs with the knowledge that our daughter is in a very safe, caring, educational environment.

Review from Paula M (Mother of Child) published on 28 September 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I absolutely love this creche. My little boy gets on so well, and the reports I get every day I know he has the best care and time every day. My little boy has company, and the range of food he gets is amazing I have no worries or concerns ever regarding this. The fact when I let him out of the car in the morning he runs to the door and cant wait to get in; I know he loves it. Get updates throughout the day with the app and makes me feel so comfortable hearing about his day. The staff are amazing and so caring.

My son is currently at Sleepy Hollow and he absolutely loves it - I have no issues dropping him off in the mornings and the staff are brilliant at keeping in touch through the app for that extra piece of mind. It has a lovely, homely feel and I have complete confidence in all the staff. All in all my husband and I are very happy with them.

The staff are great, so caring and they are always so friendly and have so much to say about my son. I love the values and principles of the nursery. My son has a milk allergy which they are great at accommodating and giving him alternatives. I would recommend Sleepy Hollow to everyone. I love how I get sent pictures throughout the day in work and can see what he gets up to!
