I am very happy with my daughter's preschool. She is much more confident now and truly enjoys going to nursery. I love seeing how comfortably she talks with her teachers and plays with her friends. The supportive and caring environment has made a big difference in her confidence and happiness. I would
highly recommend to others parents.

My child has just moved from 0-1 to the 2-3 room at sleepy hollow Hollywood and this was a very easy transition as the staff prepared her very well and made her feel very welcome. She has settled in very well so far and all of the staff have helped with this. Everyone is friendly and very caring. The
staff clearly enjoy their work and always try to accommodate every need. The activities are fun, educational and age appropriate. I feel reassured my child is well looked after by all staff.
Reply from Diane Koplewsky, Owner at Sleepy Hollow Early Childhood Centre HolywoodThank you very much for sharing this thoughtful feedback.

Supporting children and families through transitions is incredibly important to us, and it is reassuring to know that the team prepared her so well and helped her feel welcomed, safe, and settled.

Your kind comments about the staff being friendly, caring, and genuinely enjoying their work mean a great deal. We are also delighted that you value the age-appropriate, engaging activities and feel confident that your childs individual needs are being supported.

Phoenix settled so quick into the toddler room, he absolutely loves just pottering around. The setting is perfect as he is very curious and the natural play environment and the approach the staff take is perfect to allow him to grow. Thank you
Reply from Diane Koplewsky, Owner at Sleepy Hollow Early Childhood Centre HolywoodThank you so much for taking the time to share this lovely feedback.

We are delighted to hear how well Phoenix has settled into the toddler room and that he is so happy and content in his environment. It is wonderful to know that his natural curiosity is being nurtured through the play opportunities and the thoughtful, child-led approach taken by the team.

Your kind words mean a great deal to our staff, who are deeply committed to creating calm, nurturing spaces where children can explore, develop confidence, and grow at their own pace. Thank you for trusting us with Phoenix and for your continued support.

My daughter has been going to daycare for a month and seems to be really well taken care of. We get regular updates via the app so we know when she's slept and for how long, what she's eaten and how much, when she had her nappy changed etc. The staff are great at sending through photos most days along
with an update on what she's been up to. Her meals are well balanced and she gets a great variety of food.
Overall, I'm very happy so far.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I honestly cannot say enough wonderful things about the amazing women who look after my son. Their Reggio Emilia-inspired, curiosity-led ethos truly shines through in everything they do. They prioritise hands-on learning, meaningful relationships, and real-world experiences, and it's incredible to see
how thoughtfully they nurture each child's interests and confidence.


What stands out most is how genuinely they care. My son is so happy and settled there, and it gives me complete peace of mind knowing he is in such warm, attentive hands. When he has been off sick, they've even taken the time to message and check in on how he's doing - a small gesture that speaks volumes about their kindness and dedication.


They go far beyond simply providing childcare, they create a supportive, enriching environment where children feel valued, curious, and excited to learn. We are so grateful to have found such a special place and such an exceptional team!

I couldn't be happier with my son's nursery care at Holywood. From day one, the love, care, and dedication shown by the staff have been incredible. It's amazing to see how much our child has developed-emotionally, socially, and intellectually-since joining. The team uses such creative and engaging ways
to teach, encouraging curiosity, confidence, and a genuine love of learning. Every day feels thoughtfully planned to help children grow, explore, and gain meaningful experiences. Knowing my son is nurtured in such a positive, inspiring environment gives us complete peace of mind. We as a family are truly grateful for everything they do!

I have 2 children attending sleepy hollow and will be sending my 3rd and don't imagine having them anywhere else, after having experienced a few others. The kids and me and my husband are very happy with them attending there. The staff are lovely, the outdoor space is incredible- the girls put in a
huge amount of effort to amplify the space last summer. And the indoor space is brilliant. I love the Reggio Emilia ethos and feel all the staff are doing a fantastic job and deserve all the credit! Thank you Sleepy Hollow Holywood team!

The staff at the Holywood Sleepy Hollow are first class. Every member of staff says hello by name to every child as they enter which is very welcoming. Rebekah in the beginning didn't want to stay and like most 3/4 year olds play up. Now she shows more signs of confidence and just goes into class no
problem. She comes home tired but full of words of wisdom. She never tells us what she's been doing but daily sings new songs that she's learnt and before we know it, we're singing along too. Rebekah has become more inquisitive, asking lots of questions which shows she's obviously learning and enjoying.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our daughter is 3.5 & has been attending SH for the past 1.5 years. She really loves SH and we cannot speak highly enough of the staff.


Before enrolling, we toured several nurseries closer to our home, but we chose SH because of the calm atmosphere & the clear sense of purpose and structure in how

the children are engaged through the Reggio Emilia approach.


At SH, our daughter has made her first friends, she knows all the staff, & truly feels at home. She's often too busy having fun to want to leave! SH has helped to give her a sense of purpose, stability and independence.


SH also makes an effort to engage with parents through the Famly app, stay-and-play sessions, & weekly reading books sent home. We also have a great relationship with the management there.


SH is a nurturing, supportive environment, & we would whole-heartedly recommend it to any parent looking for a home-from-home for their child.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Cannot recommend enough! Sleepy Hollow give an exceptional level of care, understanding and commitment. My child has additional needs, and the team took the time to truly understand him as an individual, adapting their approach to support his needs rather than expecting him to fit a standard routine.
What
stood out most was how proactive and invested they were. Concerns were not simply noted and left; they were carefully observed, documented and clearly communicated, with a genuine effort to work alongside us every step of the way. The detailed reports, observations and evidence provided were invaluable in helping us understand his needs and in supporting onward referrals. My child was treated with patience, warmth and respect at all times. He was supported in a way that helped him feel safe, understood and regulated, which made a significant difference to his wellbeing and development. This nursery provided far more than childcare. It gave our family trust, reassurance, and hope.

Our daughter has had a fantastic experience so far in nursery. The staff are very caring and brilliant with the babies. They have really encouraged her vocabulary and communication skills. She loves getting involved in the arts and crafts and tuft trays which have helped her motor skills and development.
It's a fantastic nursery and I would highly recommend it. Staff are very friendly and easy to deal with.

We couldn't be happier with Sleepy Hollow Holywood!
Our son & daughter have been with SH for 6months now and it has done wonders for their development. The care and support the staff give not only to them, but also ourselves as first time parents, has been so greatly appreciated.
We're regularly
updated with photos on the various activities the children are taking part in and you can't keep the smile off their faces.


We genuinely could not fault Sleepy Hollow Holywood. The girls go above and beyond, thank you! 5*

We strongly recommend Sleepy Hollow Nursery Holywood. We have had our 2 children at 4 different nurseries over the past 6 years and Sleepy Hollow is hands down the best one we have used. It is very well managed, the staff are very tuned into the children and the nursery has great resources and routines.
It is also more affordable than a lot of nurseries and has a wonderful ethos grounded in the Reggio Emilio approach. The children are encouraged to play creatively with natural things (e.g sand, water, earth) and have access to gread outdoor spaces. It is a breath of fresh air and it is great to have peace of mind having our daughter there where we know she is nourished and growing well.
Reply from Diane Koplewsky, Owner at Sleepy Hollow Early Childhood Centre HolywoodThank you very much for your wonderful review and for recommending Sleepy Hollow Nursery, Holywood. It is lovely to hear such positive feedback from a family who has experienced several different nurseries over the years.
We are delighted that our Reggio Emilia-inspired approach, emphasis on natural play, and our outdoor learning spaces have made such a positive impression. Our team in Holywood work incredibly hard to provide a nurturing, creative and affordable environment where every child can flourish and your recognition of their dedication means a great deal.
Thank you for placing your trust in us with both of your children. It is a privilege to support their growth and learning journey.

My daughter has been attending over a year now. Having experienced both the baby room and now the toddler EAL room. She absolutely loves it at sleepy hollow. In the baby room she had many days she didn't want to come home with dad or me, I think that speaks volumes of the girls who work there. I would
be hard pushed to find a fault with the staff, facilities or programs. She has developed beautifully in fine motor skills and her speech. The arts and crafts activities are endless and has encouraged her development further. The curiosity approach wasn't something I had heard of prior to joining SHG but would recommend it. She loves the outdoor play and adventures as well.
All staff and management are approachable and pleasant and have always enabled our requests when required.

Our daughter started at the beginning of summer and settled in very quickly. The staff are very friendly and our daughter loves going in each day. The staff are attentive and provide a lot of detail on the app for what our daughter got up to throughout the day. It's very reassuring to be able to check
in on the app at any point throughout the day. We love to see the pictures of when they get outside for walks and the activities they do each day! My wife and I couldn't be happier.

Our experience of Sleepy Hollow has been very positive. Staff obviously take the time to bond and engage with the children and make time to learn their preferences and needs.
Management have been proactive in dietary requirements and considered allergies seriously.
Our children always come away
with a smile, a new activity learnt and some new creative piece of art or song.
We wouldn't hesitate to recommend SHG to family and friends.
Reply from Diane Koplewsky, Owner at Sleepy Hollow Early Childhood Centre HolywoodThank you very much for your thoughtful and positive feedback.

As a Reggio Emiliainspired, child-led setting, we intentionally do not use technology as part of our day-to-day curriculum. Instead, we prioritise hands-on learning, creativity, conversation, outdoor exploration and meaningful relationships, which we believe best support young childrens development and wellbeing in the early years.

Thank you again for your recommendation and for recognising the care and commitment of our team.

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.956) out of 10 for Sleepy Hollow Early Childhood Centre Holywood is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 48 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 48 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.956 for Sleepy Hollow Early Childhood Centre Holywood is calculated as follows: ( (548 Excellents x 5) + (23 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 572 Ratings = 4.956
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Sleepy Hollow Early Childhood Centre Holywood is based on 48 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 52 number of registered child places is 10.4, which has been reached with 48 Positive reviews. Points = 1
