Sleepy Hollow is an amazing nursery. Both my children absolutely love going there each day and often they don't want to leave at the end of the day. All the staff are fantastic, so professional, caring and respectful in all interactions with the children. I cannot recommend this nursery highly enough!
Thanks for the lovely feedback.
Staff in all rooms in the early childhood centre are so thoughtful and caring. My kids love going and I feel they are safe and well cared for, making it easier for me to go to work. My daughter has ASD and the staff in her room are amazing with her and so eager to help her in any way they can and have taken the time to learn how to communicate with her as she is non-verbal. I would highly recommend Sleepy Hollow to any parent, I wouldn't want to send my kids anywhere else. Thank you.
Sleepy Hollow are also good at dealing with food allergies.
Thanks for your kind review Emma.
The staff at Sleepy Hollow Nursery are amazing. I cannot recommend this nursery enough. From the day my daughter started, they have done nothing but put my mind at ease. My daughter's development has come on leaps and bounds and this is purely from the care, support and education she gets from Sleepy Hollow. The staff are very professional in what they do but at the same time, they are always friendly and welcoming.
Thanks so much for this lovely review - it’s very much appreciated.
Lovely staff. They are always very helpful and my son happily goes to nursery.
Thanks so much for your kind review.
Your staff are professional and welcoming regardless of the time of day I interact with them.
How lovely - have to say how pleased we all are with your feedback! Very precious.
Sleepy Hollow is fabulous! It’s the staff which makes it so, they are so caring and engaging it’s a home from home experience. Couldn’t recommend more!
Thank you so much Nuala - what a pleasure it is for us to look after your lovely boys. This feedback is precious to us. Many thanks.
Sleepy Hollow staff go above and beyond to make the kids happy in their care. They also reassure parents and offer support when children are displaying difficult behaviour or have trouble settling. My kids both love it there and I go to work each day knowing they are in safe hands.
Thanks so much Claire. This feedback is so precious to us. I really appreciate it.
My daughter being an only child and very shy around new people, I was worried about her starting a nursery but I had absolutely nothing to worry about. She has settled in great the past few months. The staff are excellent with her and she really loves all the girls who are in charge in her room. The fact that there is the app and page I can check throughout the day is brilliant and puts me at ease being able to see and read what she's up too. My daughter loves Sleepy Hollow and I have no complaints.
Thank you so much for your lovely review.
The different areas the children have access to within the nursery are superb and really help to promote not only the children's thinking skills but their gross and fine motor skills as well. The new family app is great and keeps us informed throughout the day - we especially love looking at photos of our very busy toddler! We are delighted our son (and us) get to be a part of a very special nursery. Thank you.
Thank you so much for your kind review.
Whilst off on maternity leave, I brought my son to nursery every day and it was lovely to see how the staff from Sleepy Hollow interacted with the kids they were bringing to nursery school. They were so attentive and would sit and read them stories until it was time for them to go into class. It was so comforting watching this as a parent.
I would honestly highly recommend them to anyone. I love their ethos, their passion and their drive. Fantastic!
Thanks for your kind review. It’s been an absolute pleasure looking after all four of your lovely children. Such fabulous feedback and what a lovely perspective to hear about the school drop off’s. As an owner that’s something I dont see so this feedback is invaluable.
This is honestly the best daycare facility I have ever experienced. The ethos is so child centred and the management team are always striving to implement new ideas. The staff are caring and kind. Everything is done in the best interests of the children. The meals and snacks are of the highest quality and have enabled my child to taste lots of new flavours. Communication is excellent and pricing is very reasonable. My child has attended since he was a tiny baby and will be finishing in June and he and I will really miss the beautiful experiences Sleepy Hollow has provided.
Thanks so much. Your review means so much to us as you are such a long-standing client - great to get such invaluable feedback.
Their attention goes completely on the children and I also love that I can be kept updated on her through their app. Would 100% recommend Sleepy Hollow to anyone wanting to place their child in daycare! Couldn't compliment them enough.
Thanks so much for your kind review - it’s really appreciated by us all.
Sleepy Hollow is an excellent nursery. There is a wide range of activities and things for the children to do. The staff are fantastic with the children. Would highly recommend the nursery.
Thanks so much for your kind review - it’s really appreciated by us all.
The staff are always very welcoming and supportive and I am always kept up to date with my son's day when he is attending Sleepy Hollow with the Famly app.
A great team, who always put the needs of the child first.
Thanks so much for your kind review - it’s really appreciated by us all.
Both my children love going to Sleepy Hollow, they both are busting to get out of the car to get in. We are greeted with hugs and smiles. The staff are fantastic and do what they can to help. Would highly recommend Sleepy Hollow to anyone, as it definitely makes my day better as they are in the best hands.
Thank you so much for this lovely review. Your feedback is appreciated.
We moved to Sleepy Hollow following the closure of our daycare and since October, my little boy has really settled so well. I have noticed improvements in his behaviour overall, and huge leaps in his social interaction with other children (he is learning to share so much better and apologise and understand when he has hurt someone). He adores Forest Time every week when he can get out to explore nature and see more of the world around him. He is always talking about his friends and "teachers" at Sleepy Hollow and the things they have learnt and done and constantly talks about Fergal the tortoise. I don't think we could have picked a better place for our little boy, it's 100% a home from home for him.
Thanks so much, Kerry. Such a lovely review.
Sleepy Hollow is an excellent nursery and offers quality care for my son who attends. My son has been attending Sleepy Hollow for three years and loves going there and doesn't want to leave at the end of the day. The opportunities and experiences they have provided are amazing and I know he would not have got these had he not been attending this nursery.
Thanks so much for your kind words. So nice to get such wonderful feedback from a long-standing client.
Sleepy Hollow Group is an excellent childcare provider who have committed staff. We use Sleepy Hollow Group for both afterschool club and summer scheme. We really like the range of activities they put on.
Thanks Sean, we are of course limited to the outside space that the school has to offer and being an urban school on a compact site there is little the school can do to expand on these facilities. As you know we don't offer ICT in afterschools as it's a purely play environment. We really welcome your feedback :)
Sleepy Hollow is excellent - not only does my daughter love spending time there after school and during the summer, the staff are also very good to deal with and easy to contact.
Thank you for your feedback.
Sleepy Hollow Nursery is like a little family. It made for me going back to work a lot easier when I knew my daughter was in great hands. My daughter loves going there every day having fun with her friends and the staff are just amazing.
Thank you for your lovely feedback.
