I cannot recommend Sleepy Hollow Early Childhood Centre Lisburn enough. They have been amazing with my son for 2 years now and the amount of love and care they put into the care and support for the children is unmatched. I always feel completely comfortable with drop offs and pick ups, their advice
and support for parents too is amazing.

We couldn't be happier with Sleepy Hollow Nursery. From the very beginning, the team has been welcoming, caring, and genuinely invested in the children's happiness and development.
The staff are absolutely wonderful - kind, attentive, and always full of energy. It's clear how much they care about
the children, and that really shows in the way our son talks about his day. He genuinely loves going in each morning, which says everything. He comes home happy, chatty, and excited to tell us about what he's been doing.
We've also been so impressed with the range of activities they provide. There's a great balance of learning, creativity, and play, all in a safe and nurturing environment. The communication with parents is excellent too - we always feel informed and reassured.
We feel incredibly lucky that our son is at Sleepy Hollow Nursery and would wholeheartedly recommend it to any family looking for a warm, supportive, and fun place for their child.

A wonderful nursery with caring and attentive staff. My son loves Sleepyhollow and the many activities set up for the children are engaging and creative. It is a safe, clean and fun space and my son is very happy and content there.
04 March 2026
A very friendly and happy nurturing place. Staff are very attentive and full of inspirational ideas and 'invitations'. My little girl loves the place and it has really helped her to grow in confidence. Her language is developing excellently and I put this down to the great staff and the
conversations they have with her, treating her as a 'mini adult'.

We couldn't be happier with our experience at Sleepy Hollow Nursery. From the very beginning, the team has been so welcoming, caring, and attentive, which made settling in such a smooth and positive experience for our son.
He absolutely loves attending and is always excited to go in each day,
which says everything. It's been wonderful to see how much he has grown in confidence, independence, and social skills during his time there. The staff truly take the time to understand each child as an individual, and their nurturing approach has helped him thrive both emotionally and developmentally.
The activities are creative, engaging, and clearly planned with care, and are always impressed by how much he is learning while having so much fun. It gives us such peace of mind knowing he is in a safe, happy, and stimulating environment.
Thank you to everyone at Sleepy Hollow for the incredible work you do - we are so grateful for the positive impact you've had on our son's early years.

I Cannot recommend Sleepy Hollow enough. The staff are extremely understanding of different family circumstances and do their best to accommodate and support both child and parent.
Staff have worked alongside my daughter's behavioural and speech issues without exclusion or judgement. The staff
have
provided a variety of different tools to help my daughter not only at school but also at home.
They have also came up with plans and strategies for my daughters so that they can still attend to the best of their abilities.

We've had such a lovely experience with Sleepy Hollow Lisburn. Both of my children have attended for the past two years, and I honestly couldn't ask for a better childcare setting. I feel like I have a great relationship with all of the staff - they're always friendly, welcoming, and genuinely
caring. I trust them completely with my children, which is the most important thing for any parent.
I recommend Sleepy Hollow Lisburn all the time, and as a family we're really happy with the care and support our children receive there.

I wrote a review when my first child attended in 2024. Now my second child also attends and it hasn't changed at all. They are great with him and have the patience of saints. He goes in smiling every day and gets so excited when we pull up. They are very encouraging, he was slower when it came to
speech and with their help he now doesn't stop talking! They treat him like their own which is such a relief as a parent when it comes to leaving your child. They have daily updates on meals/nap times etc... Every time I pick him up they give me a briefing on what they have done that day. There is always a manager in the office so if anyone needs anything you can knock any time and they will have time for you. I would recommend Sleepy Hollow 100 times over!

My eldest child has been going to this nursery for 2 years and my youngest started last month. All the staff handled this settling in period with care and compassion to both me and my child. I was provided with plenty of reassurance and felt confident my child was being cared for in a safe and
supportive environment.
Both of my children are clearly thriving from their time at this nursery, developing skills socially, mentally and physically. I receive ample evidence on the app of their daily activities which are varied and stimulating. Both children have clearly developed bonds with the staff, speaking about them fondly to me when not in nursery.
24 February 2026
My baby started nursery at the end of November and is now very well settled in the baby unit. He walks in with a big smile for all the staff each day, which is lovely to see as a parent.
The range of activities he takes part in throughout the week is amazing. They are clearly well thought out and
carefully planned, supporting sensory development, physical movement, and dexterity in a really engaging way.
We receive photos updates of activities and written observations on occasion, which show how closely the staff monitor each child's development and genuinely care about their progress, even suggesting ways we can further support learning at home.
Any concerns I had during the settling-in period were addressed quickly, and I was very grateful for the consistent communication through the app and at daily handovers. The staff are wonderful - warm, welcoming, and supportive to both children and parents. I would absolutely recommend this childcare setting to other families.
23 February 2026
The girls in the baby room are just amazing, my daughter loves going. I know she is safe, Happy and always has fun. Learning and growing with so much fun, the girls need a pay rise for the work they do.

Our family cannot recommend Sleepy Hollow enough. Sleepy Hollow provide an exceptional level of care and support for each child, treating them as individuals, who will grow and develop. Each member of staff within Sleepy Hollow is amazing, and grow to become like a family away from home. Our child
has attended the nursery for nearly two years beginning with the eager and curious to learn programme,and moving onto pre school- each programme provides the skills our child will utilise each day. All staff within the nursery have shown the top level of care and investment to our child's needs, and provides parents with daily feedback. Our child continues to develop everyday within Sleepy Hollow and is treated with patience and encouragement, to help where he needs support. There are Innovative ideas for play following the Curriculum that boosts fun and learning.
If you are looking for a nursery that provides more than just childcare Sleepy Hollow is the home away from home for your child.

My son attends the 0-2 nursey setting in lisburn. The group of girls that look after my son are incredible, from supporting us with his walking with encouragement and motivation they have been fantastic. He is well loved and wee man. Every member of staff is so friendly and always keen to see him.
The transition from him being at home full time, to myself returning to work full time, they have made me feel as ease, knowing he is in a caring and loving environment. The basis of hands on play and exploring his environment, which he's taught is outstanding. I would like to personally give each and everyone of those girls a shout out for the incredible work they do - thank you all for your dedication and the focus you put on my wee man.

The team is nothing short of incredible. Every member of staff shows genuine warmth, patience, and care, and it's clear they truly love what they do. Sophie loves going to school and runs through the door each morning with a smile, and that alone speaks volumes. The workers create a safe, nurturing
environment where children are encouraged to explore, learn, and grow at their own pace. Their communication with parents is thoughtful and reassuring, and I always feel completely confident that my child is in the best hands. We're so grateful for everything they do.

The Babies Unit has been such a wonderful experience for us. From the very beginning, it made me feel completely at ease knowing he was in such a nurturing, calm, and caring environment. The team are so attentive and supportive, and it's been amazing to see how much he has learned and developed
during his time there. His confidence, curiosity, and little personality has really blossomed, and I'm so grateful for the care, patience, and love shown to him every day by all the girls in the baby unit, and by all the management.

I cant thank the girls enough for the amazing jobs they do. I very highly recommend sleepy hollow its a
brilliant nursery.

My little girl is in the pre school room at the Lisburn branch and also attends the wraparound care. The staff are amazing and great at their job and all should be rewarded for the great deal of effort they put into everyday. So patient and you can just tell they really care about the children and
how they're learning and developing. Always take the time to give a quality handover at the end of each day.
They put a great deal of effort into planning each day with a great set up of different activities for the children. I couldn't fault them.
04 February 2026
Excellent nursery, follows the curriculum and encourages the children to develop well.
Invites parents regularly for stay and play days and sends feedback daily through the family app.
Would highly recommend sleepy hollow. This is my fourth child and first time using the nursery. A better over
all experience compared to the other leading nurseries used for my older children.
03 November 2025
Both my children absolutely love Sleepy Hollow! My little boy (nearly 4) has been there for over two years now, and it's amazing to see how much he has grown in confidence. He adores preschool and the incredible staff who make it such a fun and nurturing environment. My little girl, aged 1, in the
baby room is also so settled.
The staff are incredibly kind and caring, and they really take the time to get to know each child and build lovely relationships with parents, especially at pick up time.
They put so much thought into the activities they plan each week, and the various themes around holidays and opportunities for parent 'stay and play' sessions.
I would highly recommend Sleepy Hollow to any parent

We enrolled our little one into Sleepy Hollow earlier this year after a not so nice experience with a separate nursery. I was so relieved with my initial experiences in touring the centre, settling in days and now just a general daycare experience.
The staff are so kind and considerate of getting
to know each and every child's individual needs as well as the parents. My little one is delighted to see the staff each morning and I am sent lots of lovely updates and pictures throughout the day.
They monitor the progress and milestones of each child so intently and give positive feedback at handover each day. They take care in providing fun and educational activities for the children every week and I look forward to seeing what they've been up to.
I am so confident in the high standard and level of care my child is getting at Sleepy Hollow and I recommend them to anyone looking for a childcare facility they can love and trust!
