We've had our daughter in Hullabaloo for over 4 years, and have also sent our son. We couldn't recommend it more! All the staff are fantastic and really get to know and care about each child. Both kids always have a fantastic time and the quality and variety of activities provided are amazing. The nursery really has a close knit, family feel and we know our kids are well looked after.
Thank you for such a lovely review. We are delighted that you chose us to care for your children and are proud to be part of their early years journey. We will miss your daughter terribly when she leaves but hope she will come back to visit when you are collecting her little brother!
I couldn't be happier with the care and support that my child receives. The staff are kind, attentive, and genuinely invested in each child's development and wellbeing. It is a safe and happy environment where children can learn and grow.
Thank you for your kind words. We are proud to be part of your son's early years journey - thank you for choosing us!
This is a welcoming and nurturing daycare setting where my child is happy, settled, and well cared for. I appreciate the staff's dedication and the positive atmosphere they create for the children. They are always having fun!
Thank you for a lovely review. It is an absolute pleasure to look after your son and watch him learning new skills. Thank you for choosing Hullabaloo!
As a first time mother I was very nervous about day care and only wanted the best for my son. I enquired about hullabaloo following great reports from a friend who used their services for their children now aged 16 and 6 years old and I am beyond delighted that we chose here. It is a wonderful welcoming place, staff are friendly and warm and treat the children so well, you can clearly see the great relationships that they build with the children and family. Recently, the staff were able to highlight some difficulties that David was having. From this I was able to ask for referrals, gain advice from health professionals and the staff in hullabaloo have been so great in helping to follow his new exercises and promote confidence and encouragement for David. He is absolutely thriving. As a mother, I feel reassured that my child is safe and happy when he waves bye to me at the door. Would definitely recommend here for anyone
Thank you for a lovely review. It is both a pleasure and a privilege to look after your son and be such a big part of his early education. We all love him to bits and enjoy watching him learn & grow. Thank you for choosing Hullabaloo!
Absolutely amazing place for my daughter. At first, Judith(the co-owner) was very kind with us during the admission and now the carers have been very kind and attentive in looking after my daughter for the longer time of the day. I would recommend them to everybody and I wished they had more space to cater more kids. Number 1 in the country I would rate it. Absolutely fantastic !
Thank you for a lovely review. We are so pleased you have chosen us to care for your daughter and we feel privileged to play a part in her early childhood.
I am so pleased with how my son has settled in Hulabaloo. It puts my mind at ease when he is so well cared for. The staff are very attentive and my child's routines are respected. The communication is excellent and I love to hear about, and see, the experiences and fun my child is having each day.
Thank you for your kind words. We feel privileged that you have chosen us to look after your son and your positive feedback is very much appreciated. We love to see your son enjoy new experiences and learn new things.
My daughter started at Hullabaloo at the age of 11 months and needed a period of time to settle in. The staff have always been amazing in reassuring us and giving small updates when necessary. She is now a thriving 2 year old who generally loves to go to her nursery! She often comes back with art and craft work, clothes change due to water play or I see photos of the children going out to local parks - all big positives as I know my wee one loves these activities. I have also seen how they settle her and for a clingy girl like mine, it was so reassuring to see how she would calm down instantly in the arms of different staff members.
Thank you for your kind words. We feel privileged that you have chosen us to care for your daughter and love to see her enjoying the activities we provide.
She has made lots of little friends and is really thriving socially. We've also noticed how well she eats at nursery, which shows how settled and comfortable she feels in the environment.
The childcare is truly fantastic. The educators are amazing with the children - so warm, patient, attentive, and genuinely caring. You can see how much they love what they do, and that makes all the difference.
We're so grateful to have found such a wonderful place for our daughter. We highly recommend it to any parents looking for a nurturing, supportive, and happy environment for their little one.
Thank you for such a lovely review. Its has been both a privilege and a pleasure to watch your daughter thrive at nursery - she is such a little character! Thank you for choosing us!
An exceptional nursery, the staff are always nice and come across that they genuinely care about my son Jack. We have gotten advice which has helped as we are first time parents and Jack is starting to run the show in our house. I started a business and got help with the different ways to pay for childcare also which was a massive help, as early days starting a business is very difficult. The food Jack gets everyday is excellent, he eats better at nursey, more healthy food then he does at home - despite our best efforts.
Thank you for your kind words! We love to see your son coming in each morning and enjoy watching him try new things, from food to activities. Parenting is a constant challenge and I'm glad we have been able to be of support to your family. Thank you for choosing us to look after your son - its a privilege!
Everyone is so kind, welcoming, and genuinely caring, which has made such a difference for both him, me and my husband. They do lots of lovely arts and crafts activities and always send things home for us to keep, which is really special.
The variety of food is also great, and it's reassuring to know he's being well looked after in every way. Being back at work was a big step, but knowing he's in such good hands has really put my mind at ease. I'm so grateful to the whole team.
Thank you for such a lovely review. It is a pleasure to look after your little boy and we love to see him learning new things through play.
We knew we made a great choice with Hullabaloo from day one - the initial settling-in period for both our boys was smooth and straightforward, the staff are great and really bond with the kids, and the range of activities and facilities are excellent too. They boys love heading in each morning and they leave each evening with a big smile on their face - they are thriving in the care of Judith and the team, so thank you!
Thank you for a lovely review and for choosing us to take care of your children! We love watching them develop and learn new things. We are so grateful that you have taken the time to share your experience of our service.
The staff go above and beyond to create a space where children can thrive. They offer a wide range of fun, engaging sensory activities and provide countless opportunities for exploration and new experiences. Every day feels like an adventure filled with creativity and joy.
What stands out most is the personal attention given to each child. My child's individual needs and routines are respected, and any changes are communicated promptly and thoughtfully. It's clear that the staff know her on a personal level, which gives me complete confidence in the care she receives.
Hullabaloo's is more than a day care-it's a nurturing community where children feel valued, supported, and happy. I couldn't recommend it highly enough
Thank you for your kind words. We feel privileged to be part of your daughter's early childhood and love to watch her grow and learn. She has transitioned so easily into toddlers that she is now keeping us all right! We are so pleased that you chose us to look after her!
Our daughter has been attending Hullabaloo Nursery now for almost a year and a half. My husband and I continue to be delighted with the care and attention she receives on a daily basis. She settled so well into the environment from the get go and was able to further transition from the baby room to the toddler room at ease. We have every belief that she is continuously encouraged and nurtured by all of the staff who cross her path. We are now delighted to be expecting our second baby soon and have already committed to the idea of her sibling hopefully following her footsteps after my maternity year. This will allow me to return to my work in the future knowing both she and our new baby will be in safest and most experienced of hands.
Thank you for such a lovely review. We thoroughly enjoy helping your daughter to learn through play and she continues to entertain us on a daily basis with all her chat! She will be a brilliant big sister and we can't wait to meet the new baby when they arrive!
The facilities are great, with plenty of space and the children seem to get outside loads (weather permitting)
Thank you for your kind words! We enjoy watching your children grow and learn and your eldest is such a wee character making us laugh all the time!
I can't thank the girls at hullabaloo enough for their patience with my son the nursery has been the perfect fit for him
Thank you for your kind words - they mean a lot and we are so pleased that you are happy with the care and love we provide for your son. We feel privileged that you have chosen us to care for him and we enjoy watching him grow and learn.
I would highly recommend Hullabaloo. It wasn't an easy choice for me putting my son into daycare but I am so glad we found hullabaloo. The staff are friendly, approachable and compassionate. They have excellent facilities and equally excellent staff. The whole team have supported and cared for my son who didn't transition well initially. Communication is great as they provide daily feedback and always encourage different learning opportunities and experiences.
Thank you for a lovely review. Your son has come on leaps and bounds since settling here and has made lots of friends - both children and staff! We love to see his smile in the morning as he runs up the hall!
We're so grateful to have found this nursery. It's more than just a childcare facility-it's a place where children are truly seen, heard, and loved. Highly recommend to any parent looking for a nurturing start for their little one!
Thank you for such a lovely review. It means the world to us to know that your family feels happy and supported at Hullabaloo. We truly value your trust and look forward to continuing to care for and nurture your little one.
My daughter is very lucky to attend Hullabaloo and receive such great care from all the staff who she has bonded with from the beginning. The nursery's homely environment and friendly staff have allowed her to thrive and she has learned so much while I have been able to return to work with peace of mind. She loves going and misses her two course yummy lunches when she's not there!
Thank you for taking the time to leave us such a lovely review. It is a pleasure to look after your daughter who has become such a big part of our nursery family. She has really made herself at home here and especially loves the book corner!
Both of our children have attended Hullabaloo for the past year, and our experience has been consistently positive. The staff are kind, supportive, and always approachable-no question has ever felt like too much trouble. Our children are offered healthy, balanced meals, and we've noticed a real improvement in their eating habits. They're also encouraged to develop independence, and we've noticed this reflected in their confidence at home. Communication is always clear and helpful, and the nursery manager is easy to contact and has been great at keeping us right about the NICSS discount. As one of our children moves on to nursery school, we know he'll truly miss the staff and the friendships he's built there. We're thankful our younger two still have time left at Hullabaloo! We've already recommended the nursery to several friends and wouldn't hesitate to do so again. It's been a wonderful experience, and we're so glad we chose Hullabaloo for our family.
Thank you for your kind words. It has been lovely to watch your eldest mature into a chatty, well-mannered little boy during his time here and we will be sad to see him go - there will be plenty of cuddles and tears that day! We feel privileged to be able to look after your younger two children and look forward to watching them grow in the same way.
Excellent nursery, staff very helpful and supportive. My son is very happy and has settled well there, would recommend to anyone looking for a childcare provider in the area. Great info also shared with parents regarding the NICSS which they signed up to very promptly.
Thank you so much for your kind words. We are thoroughly enjoying being part of your son's early education. Thank you for choosing us!
