My daughter has been using this nursery for almost two years. The staff always put the needs of the children first, my little one loves attending.
Thanks so much.
All three of my children will have gone through Sleepy Hollow. I would never even look at anywhere else as the care and attention they receive here is beyond excellent.
Thank you Jayne. We are looking forward to baby No 3 joining us soon.
My son has attended Sleepy Hollow Crumlin since he was 9 months old. The staff and management are really dedicated. This day nursery is fantastic, my son is now 8 and still enjoys his time in Sleepy Hollow, he has always been so content, happy and well looked after in Sleepy Hollow. Highly recommended!
Thanks Carol - that's lovely. I'll ensure that the chef is sharing our menus with you so you can see what we are having for snack each day.
My little girl has just started in the wraparound care in Academy Primary and the change over has been seamless and she really enjoys being with the staff. Highly recommend this service
Thanks so much for your feedback Grace. As it's a new facility we will ensure that staff are sharing our planning activities with you and our menus. We will be having a new website up and running soon, with a parents-only section where our menus and planning will also be displayed. We welcome your feedback.
Both my children attend afterschool care and holiday schemes at Victoria Primary School in Newtownards. Staff are always welcoming and the activities are well thought out and age appropriate. Both children (5 & 9) enjoy attending and I would definitely recommend the facility to parents.
Thanks so much for this review Clare - we will share this with the rest of the team.
Friendly helpful staff who always have activities for the kids and help out with homework too. We don’t have regular days when we need their after school service but they always are very accommodating in fitting us in. Excellent staff and service.
Thanks for your feedback. We will shortly have a new website where parents can log on to view our planning and activities as well as menus and a virtual noticeboard. Hopefully, this will keep you more abreast of what activities we have going on each day.
Fantastic service puts our mind at ease knowing our son is safe and cared for while we are at work.
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback - its really appreciated by our whole team!
Well organised childcare with friendly and helpful staff, would have no problem recommending to others.
Thanks for the lovely feedback. We obviously don't promote learning or use of ICT in after schools as it's a play based facility, so we are delighted with the feedback. We will get the staff to show you our planning and evaluation booklet, so you can see in detail the activities we offer and if you have any feedback, you can share directly with the manager, we would be really grateful.
My son has attended the wrap around care facility at Gilnahirk Primary (Sleepy Hollow Group) for about 4 years. He enjoys it and I love the staff. My 2nd child will be joining in the summer and he can't wait!
Thanks for the feedback. Obviously, we don't promote learning in our after schools group and try to have NO ICT at all in after schools, as the children get lots of that during the school day, so we are absolutely delighted with your lovely feedback.
I send both my kids to sleepy hollow. Would recommend it to anyone. Amazing staff and facilities. What I love most is the food menu. My wee ones are always eating the best foods.
Thanks for the wonderful feedback. Much appreciated by the whole team!
Sleepy Hollow is a fantastic nursery and the level of care is outstanding. I have 2 children attending Sleepy Hollow full time and they both love it and all the staff are just simply amazing - I can't recommend them enough.
Thanks for the wonderful feedback. Much appreciated by the whole team!
My nephew loves the nursery and tells me all about the amazing things they do while they are there. I would highly recommend this nursery.
Thanks for the lovely feedback.
We have been there for 7 months and there have been no issues, in fact, I couldn't find fault if I tried. The staff go above and beyond to make the kids feel safe. I would recommend Sleepy Hollow to any parent.
Very kind feedback - thank you.
My son really enjoys going to nursery and the girls take great care of him. He talks about nursery non-stop at home.
Thanks for your feedback - will pass on your lovely comments.
My Nephew has attended Sleepy Hollow Day Nursery now for 5 years, I find this nursery very welcoming and the girls couldn’t be nicer. My nephew especially loves the bus driver who is amazing with all of the children. Also, Sleepy Hollow Day Nursery is great at arranging to bring my nephew to after-school clubs which helps us out a lot.
Thanks for your lovely review - as well as your involvement in supporting all of our events!
We have two grandchildren in Sleepy Hollow Day Nursery. I’m very impressed with all that they do there. Their Christmas event is outstanding. Such a warm welcome every time I am in picking up the children. They all love the bus driver and we have to stop and wave when he passes us in the street.
Thanks for your feedback. It’s lovely.
The approach to learning is very unique and makes for a very happy environment. The food is all homemade, cooked on site and changes regularly. Could not recommend Sleep Hollow highly enough. A breath of fresh air for daycare.
Have had three children with Sleepy Hollow over the years. First class service in all aspects of care.
Thanks so much for your lovely feedback.
The staff are always thinking of the children and how to give the best experiences alongside developing and nurturing new skills.
Both I and the children are very happy with every aspect of the care provided.
Thanks for your lovely feedback.
I have been using Sleepy Hollow for over two years now and can't speak highly enough about it. We are always made to feel welcome by all the staff. They are extremely caring and approachable. Every day my child comes home chattering with excitement about her day and always with a creation in her hand. Every evening the staff tell me how her day has been. I would highly recommend Sleepy Hollow as I am very confident leaving my child in such a welcoming and stimulating setting. My only problem is getting her to leave at the end of the day.
