Our wee boy is always so happy going in and out of Helping Hands, which says it all. It's such a comfort knowing he's settled, content, and really enjoying himself. The staff are all so lovely, friendly, and caring-we couldn't ask for more.
Thank you so much for your kind words, it really means a lot to the team.
We're delighted to hear that your little boy is so happy coming in and out of Helping Hands. Seeing children settled, content, and enjoying their time with us is exactly what we aim for every day, so your feedback is really reassuring for us.
My little boy is 2 and has been attending helping hands from he was 11 months and he absolutely loves it. He has transitioned from through three rooms and each experience has been great. He is so well looked after and the team are so affectionate. He loves going in in the morning and is always a happy boy when picked up. They do so many activities with him, plenty of outdoor exercise and he eats healthily when he is well. The team are so caring and helpful and we haven't had any problems in the year and a half he has been there. Would recommend to anyone
Thank you for your kind words! We're so pleased to hear are having a great experience and appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. It's always encouraging for the team to hear when our families are happy with their care.
We have had a wonderful experience with this nursery, and I could not be happier with the care my son receives here. From the very beginning, the staff have been warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in each child's wellbeing and development.
The team creates a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment where children are encouraged to learn through play, build confidence, and develop socially at their own pace. My son is always happy to go in and comes home smiling, which speaks volumes about how comfortable and supported he feels.
Communication with parents is excellent. We are kept well informed about daily activities, progress, and milestones, and any questions or concerns are always handled professionally and with care. It is clear that the staff truly know and value each child as an individual.
I am extremely grateful for the dedication and kindness shown by everyone at the nursery.. I would highly recommend!

We're delighted with how things have been going.

Children's wellbeing always put first by the staff and I feel so secure leaving my two sons in the company of Helping Hands.
I would recommend HH to friends and family.
Thank you for your thoughtful and kind feedback. We're thrilled to hear how well both your sons have thrived with us and that you've had such a great experience in all our rooms. Providing flexible, inclusive, and nurturing support to every child and their family is central to what we do, and it's amazing to know it has made a difference for you.
My youngest still attends and absolutely loves it. Every time I collect her, her room feels so calm and nurturing. It's clear how much care and thought the team puts into creating a supportive environment for the children.
One of the things I've loved most is how much time the children spend outside. On top of that, the amount of arts and crafts they come home with is amazing!

We're so proud to provide a nurturing and stimulating environment that helps children build confidence and prepares them for the future. The team will be thrilled to hear your kind words!
Great daycare always very understanding when it came to my son's needs. Always tryed to accommodate for him as he didn't like to wear shoes so this was adapted too and they made sure he was always included when going outside to play. All the staff are great and very friendly and easy to approach.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! All the staff at Helping Hands pride themselves on providing a safe, nurturing and inclusive environment for all our children and families. I'm delighted to hear you and your son's experience has been so positive.
All my children have attended helping hands daycare. The staff are brilliant and always work with me and my children with anything we need and are always very understanding and caring. They have brilliant facilities and it is always very clean. Would recommend helping hands to everyone with children.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We are delighted that you are so happy with the service we provide and the facilities. It is a pleasure to have yourself and your family at Helping Hands Daycare.
We moved our son to Helping Hands in Sept 2024 as we were moving to Lisburn. We were so nervous about the move as he loved his previous nursery. We need not have worried. The girls in the baby room were so good with him. They made settling in so easy and since then he has loved his time there. As he transitioned to the next room it was done with ease, they brought him up for a few hours a day and within a couple of days he didn't want to go back to the baby room!
The kids are kept constantly busy with play and we love that they get outside as often as possible. Even in the colder weather they just make sure they're well wrapped up. Our son loves being outside so this is really important for us.
We never worry about our son, we know he's being well looked after and the pictures and updates on the app keep us updated throughout the day. They girls are so friendly on drop off and pick up.
We love it so much we already have our newborn booked in for next year!
Thank you for your wonderful review! we really do appreciate such positive feedback. Seeing our families happy and settled means so much to the whole team.
Both my children go to Helping Hands. One goes to the daycare and one goes to afterschool. My little one has been there for 7 months and is so happy and settled. He does lots of activities and has plenty of time outdoors which is very important to us. He is an allergy baby and Helping Hands have been so accommodating and helpful, ensuring all his meals are safe. He goes in happily each morning and the staff adore him and he adores them! My eldest goes to the afterschool and loves it. Plenty of activities and again, the staff are excellent. Highly recommend Helping Hands!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! as always it means so much to the team to get such positive feedback. They always go above and beyond when looking after the children in their care.
My little boy has been with this nursery a year now. He loves it and they have been good with him. He runs in every day and does not look back which is great. They are anti bullying which is great. Would definitely recommend.
Thank you for your wonderful review! we are delighted to hear that your child is so happy coming into nursery. Thank you for your positive feedback we really appreciate you support.
I am very happy with helping hands. My son loves it, and I feel it is helping him develop. All the staff are friendly and I love the app so I can check how my child is doing. I look forward to seeing my son continue to flourish.
Thank you for your wonderful review. It's lovely to hear that your son is flourishing at Helping Hands.

Thank you for your wonderful review! It's really lovely for all the team to hear that parents are so happy with the service we provide. Thank you for recommending us.
Our child loves going to Helping Hands and has a clear rapport with all the staff in her room. It's clear to see how she loves interacting with other children and how much the staff are contributing towards her learning and development through fun, engaging and educational activities and play.
Thank you for your review we really do appreciate your support. It means so much to the team to hear such positive feedback.
They are amazing with my children and so warm towards my children.
The setting is warm and welcoming with lots of beautiful displays of the children's art works and things they have been doing.
The app is a fantastic way for me to know all that is going on with my children and very informative of how my children's day has been. I love the wee pictures received of my children having fun and looking so happy.
The meals and snacks provided are of a great variety.
Helping hands is also very accommodating to my children's needs or possible differences in home nap times.
It's comforting to see my children not wanting to leave as they are so comfortable and enjoying themselves.
Thank you for such a wonderful review. The team works extremely hard to provide a happy and caring environment for all our children. I'm delighted the children have settled so well!
Helping Hands Daycare was absolutely the best choice for my daughter. I was doubting putting my daughter into crèche as a first time mum but no regrets the girls are amazing and my child loves going she goes on in not a care in the world days where she's not in she's asking to go in. I 100% know my daughter is safe and happy while she's in there and that in itself lets me know I don't the right thing for her. Can't recommend Helping Hands Daycare enough.
Thank you for your wonderful review! It is always a difficult decision when choosing a nursery for your child. We are delighted you are happy with the service we provide and your feedback means so much to our team.
Their phase-in process was very inclusive of our needs and their communication throughout was fantastic and left myself and my wife feeling very reassured.
Their regular photo updates throughout the day keep us informed of what our son is getting up to and it is a great way of keeping us informed of their daily activities.
We were worried our son would find it difficult moving to a new nursery but they have made it very easy for us and he has been loving it there.
Thank you so much for the wonderful feedback. It is reassuring to know that the transition into Helping Hands Daycare went as smooth as possible for you and your family during a very stressful time. The team work very hard to be welcoming and inclusive to all our families and we are delighted that your son has settled quickly and is enjoying his time with us. Many thanks
Would highly recommend the place, as they always go above and beyond for the needs of the child and are willing to help in any way they can.
They also do so many activities with the kids, even in the baby room, which also changes daily.
Thank you for your wonderful review! It's really lovely to hear that you and your child has had such a positive experience and have been supported throughout the process. The staff at Helping Hands take so much joy from your feedback as they work so hard to ensure every child is supported throughout their early year's journey.
The outdoor facilities are amazing with a huge secure outdoor area and also a forest area.
I would highly recommend this daycare!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! As always its lovely for the staff to feel valued as they work so hard with all the children to ensure they have a fun filled day partaking in many activities. We greatly appreciate your very kind words which I will pass on to all the staff.
