Holly House Nursery is part of a chain of nurseries - Clear Day Nurseries. The Nursery offers a loving homely environment for your child. Holly House has been established for over 20 years offering care for children aged 3 months – 12 years old. Management and many staff have been part of the nursery for over 10 years.
The large house and purpose built pre-school unit offers age-appropriate activities and resources ensuring a fun-filled stimulating day. The fenced garden with climbing frame gives an opportunity to explore the great outdoors. A wooded forestry area allows the children to explore nature in a safe outdoor environment. The children love to draw on the chalk boards, sow the vegetable patch and gain some knowledge of the outdoor world in their small forest school area.
Every day at Holly House is stimulating and exciting. Visits from Moo Music, Amazon Jungle, Police, Fire Service, Nurses and Dental all pop in to help assist with the educational learning over the year. Yearly themes are incorporated throughout each age range and compliment the daily activities and pre-school curriculum. School collection, breakfast club and summer scheme are available for children attending the local schools. The cook ensures that every child receives a nutritionally balanced meal to suit all cultures, dietary requirements or intolerances. Nursery Practitioners are dedicated to ensuring every child’s developmental needs are met in line with the Nursery Ethos and local HSCT.

All the staff at Holly House have been absolutely brilliant with our daughters. They have settled in so well and we straight away feel really comfortable with all the staff. Thank you for taking such good care of them!

My son started in Holly House in November. He is still really struggling with drop offs and I couldnt praise the staff enough for how they handle my son when he is in such a state. Staff are so caring & considerate. I normally get a communication, usually a picture within 30 minutes of leaving my son off, just to assure me he has settled and is doing well. My son comes home after nursery and tells us how much fun he has had - i couldnt recommend Holly House enough!

My daughter has been at Holly House since she was 10 months old. She is just about to turn 3 and she loves it there. The staff work tirelessly to care for all of the children's needs and make plenty of time for fun and developmental activities. My husband and I feel so content, knowing that our wee girl is so happy and so well cared for there. We can't praise all the staff enough! They all know her name, even staff from other rooms or who don't work directly with the children. To me, that really shows the ethos of the nursery - the children are central to all that they do. Also a quick note about the food - my daughter eats like a queen! The food provides a varied, nutritious diet. My daughter will eat most things, but I think the menu caters to children with plainer tastes too.

Holly House has been the best nursery I could have asked for for my son. They have gone above and beyond what I would have expected a nursery to do for the children, and the kind gestures they do to show appreciation for their parents as well as the children has always really been such a lovely touch. My son has been with them since he was a baby and he's had a blast in the preschool room in particular. Holly House have been so good at giving them trips and fun experiences, again which I never would have expected. The activities and projects they do are teaching the little ones so much and in such a fun and exciting way. As a parent, I love the layout of the rooms - they're so spacious, clean and it has a really homely feel. All the children get on so well with other too. Everything Holly House has done for my son could not be more appreciated by us. We will truly miss everyone when my son starts preschool in September. Holly House are the best!
My son started Holly House in March 2025 and he has settled in so well.All the staff are very good with him and so attentive with him.He has come on so well since attending, his language has improved and he socialises with others much better.I would definitely recommend Holly House!

Our child has been with Holly House Day Nursery for 2.5 years. I could not recommend them more highly enough. The staff are lovely and communicate really well face to face, and through the app, providing little updates/photos. Management has always been very accommodating and has been able to book our child in for extra days when needed throughout the year when booked in advance. It's a 10/10 from me!
We are very pleased with the care our son receives at Holly House Day Nursery. He has been treated so well from the baby room right through to the preschool room. He seems very happy and like he is having lots of fun every time I go to pick him up. I think highly of the staff.

Our daughter loves Holly House, always happy to go, well looked after and would highly recommend. They keep us updated with regular pictures and daily breakdowns of nap times and food. Food is varied and there's plenty of educational activities.

Delighted with the care and attention provided to date - the staff have taken on board everything we have said and have always answered all our questions. We are also very happy with the amount of updates we regularly receive, despite of staff probably being very busy, we always get a photo as well.

My daughter also joined the baby room, I think I needed more adjustment than she did. Again, we were so supported.
The girls especially in the baby room are like her second family, they have helped her through all the stages of development from when she was 5 months old.

They provide peace of mind, but also dimmer the guilt feeling we all know too well when you leave your little one at nursery. I'm very thankful to all the staff at Holly House! You ladies rock!

This is the best nursery I found, with clean, bright rooms with quality equipment and toys. My toddler loves it; my second child will join the nursery soon. We were supposed to move to Armagh but we didn’t as I couldn’t find a nursery of the same standard as Holly House Day Nursery. Once you...
I highly recommend it!

They always have good nutritious snacks and meals, and lots of activities going on. So she's well cared for.
The staff are all lovely and send regular updates and pics throughout the day. The manager has also been so helpful in answering any questions we've had.
All in all, I don't think we could have found a better nursery for our wee one.
Our child has been in Holly House Day Nursery for a few months now and she loves it. She’s always been social but she’s really improved with her communication as well as her physical development, and we’ve really appreciated how happy she’s been after starting at daycare.
