This nursery has been outstanding in so many aspects over the years. Both of my sons have thrived and been so happy every day, running into nursery and enjoying their days. The teams go above and beyond to make the children feel happy and special. As my youngest is now in pre-school, I am reminded just how quick time flies. I am so grateful to all the Rathvilly team for all they do day in day out for children to be children and not only learn and progress but thrive on their journey. Thank you x

My son absolutely loves this nursery - and as a parent, that's the best feeling in the world! The staff are truly wonderful, and it's clear they genuinely care about the children. I see it every day in the way my son rushes in excitedly and runs to hug his carers. Special thanks to all staff who work with the oragnisation companOut of Top 30 (Position) > AMBER/RED FLAG (Reason) - Email verified - all looks ok so set to PP. Out of Top 30 (Position) > AMBER/RED FLAG (Reason) - Email verified - all looks ok so set to PP. for always going the extra mile - your warmth and patience shine through. And of course, the nursery manager, deserves a big shout-out too! She runs the place like a true cowgirl leading her ranch - calm, confident, and always keeping everything and everyone right on track. It's such a comfort knowing my little one is in such caring hands. I couldn't recommend this nursery highly enough!

We joined this nursery in March 2025 and was the best decision we could have made. All of the staff have been amazing, the manager Wendy goes above and beyond to get to know the whole family, is always friendly and welcoming. Special mention to Charlotte, Claire Lisa and Kirsty, always feel comfortable knowing my daughter is well looked after and she is always happy in your care. You all do amazing and can't thank you enough for helping her to learn and grow.

I have been so happy with how the staff have welcomed my daughter to the nursery. She has been there for a few months and has settled in really well. Everyone I have met has been friendly and seem to really show an interest in my daughter. I love hearing about what she gets up to each day, and seeing her come on leaps and bounds is lovely.

We couldn't be happier with our daughter's experience at this nursery. From the very first day, the staff made her feel safe, welcomed, and loved. The teachers are not only professional and caring, but also genuinely dedicated to creating a warm, nurturing environment where every child can grow and thrive. Our daughter looks forward to going every morning and always comes home full of joy, new words, songs, and little discoveries. It's clear that she is learning so much through play, creativity, and gentle guidance. We are truly grateful for the patience, kindness, and attention each member of the team gives to the children. This nursery feels like a second home for our daughter, and we would highly recommend it to any parent looking for a place where their child will be cared for with love and respect. Thank you for everything. Rhea's parents

Rathvilly has been our little one's second home since he was 10 months! All the teachers have been like extended family. We are so so grateful to everyone at Rathvilly for everything they have done for our child to learn, have fun, make friends, grow and thrive - ready for his next adventure as he steps into school! Our child has always enjoyed being a part of the nursery and loves to play with his friends and get into all the wonderful amazing activities the teachers arrange and perfectly organise for the kids every day of every week. We couldn't have found a better nursery and I whole heartedly recommend everyone I know of Rathvilly :) Thank you so so much! You are all superheroes :)

I cannot rate this nursery highly enough! My little boy adores coming here. He has developed so much and they have really built up his confidence, he has made friends and looks forward to attending every day. If we drive past the nursery he will say hi nursery as we go past. The staff are all so lovely and I know that he is going to be well cared for when I drop him off. He loves the activities they do like art work, playing in the sand garden and playing with water which is his favourite. The staff are really supportive with the transition from nappies to pants also. Most importantly he is safe, happy, well fed and being nurtured whilst learning and I couldn't ask for anymore. I'm already thinking I hope they look after him at School as well as they do in nursery because Rathvilly have set the bar so high! Thank you x

My son has been attending this nursery since he was two, and I couldn't be happier with our experience. He settled in quickly thanks to the amazing support, patience, and care from the staff. This nursery is so much more than just childcare - it's a place full of creativity, learning, and fun. There are always a variety of well-planned indoor and outdoor activities that keep the children engaged and happy. Each room is led by experienced and dedicated professionals who truly love what they do. But what truly makes this nursery shine is the manager - she is the heart and soul of the setting. As the manager, she knows every child by name, always welcomes families with a warm smile, and creates a truly nurturing atmosphere. My son absolutely adores her! I've recommended this nursery to many of my friends, and now that I'm expecting my second child, there's no doubt in my mind - we'll be coming back here again without hesitation.

I have two children currently at this nursery and couldn't be happier with the care and attention they receive. My older child started later than average at this nursery due to moving house and had been referred to speech and language due to late speech. Since starting here his speech has come on leaps and bounds. He really looks forward to his nursery days and who can ask for more really? The staff are kind and patient and develop real connections with the children and the entire staff create a real family environment.

The staff is very friendly and professional, my daughter loves going to nursery and she is learning loads. The refurbish they did last summer looks amazing, all rooms looks very fresh and bright and very loved building overall. The kids expend a lot of time outside in the different gardens and outdoor areas they have. The new app is very good too, easy to use and we get a lot of updates of what they are up to.

My child really enjoys his time at the nursery. He's well cared for and the teachers do a fantastic job of keeping him engaged in various fun as well as learning activities. The nursery is very well managed and secure and we are kept informed and updated on various things via the app.

I honestly can't thank the nursery staff and management enough for how great they are with my son. He has come on leaps and bounds since starting Rathvilly, especially with his talking. He has a lot more confidence and he's made lots of friends. I never have to worry if he's safe and I know he's always taken care of and well looked after whilst he's there. The range of activities and learning are amazing, he's always doing something new. Thank you to all of the team at Rathvilly!

Overall we've had a really positive experience with Rathvilly Nursery. All the staff have been friendly, lovely and have always gone the extra mile to make our child feel comfortable and happy. Our child was shy, sensitive and our concern was that the nursery was too big for her but she is absolutely thriving and loves going in. She often asks to go which is such a relief as a parent to know she enjoys her time there. All the staff in the baby room and little creators have spent time getting to know our childs personality and meeting all her needs. I recommend this nursery to all our friends. So happy we picked Rathvilly. Wendy has done a great job and staff seem happy and enthusiastic to be there! Thanks to all the staff you make such a difference!

Great management and staff - everyone is very helpful, attentive and give you an update at the end of each day. I have two children who currently attend the nursery 3 days a week (one in little creators and another in little learners), and they both enjoy their time there. Both have come on leaps and bounds since starting at Rathvilly nursery just over a year ago, and regularly tell me what they've been up to with their peers and key workers. We are kept updated with meals, naps, nappy changes etc via the app each day, and it's lovely to see photos of what they've been doing /creating too. I really can't recommend the nursery enough. The children spend time indoors and outdoors, which they love... especially exploring outdoors and playing in the sand and castle gardens. The manager and the team's hard work has definitely done wonders for our little ones.

My daughter enjoys her nursery family in Rathvilly. She developed her confidence and became comfortable socializing with others. The teachers gives their best support to my daughter and for that I am greatful.

Our eldest son attended Little Pioneers, Rathvilly for a short time a few years ago and our youngest son is there currently. We are so grateful that we were able to get our son into this nursery, he has come on leaps and bounds since starting here and is always happy to attend. His key worker, and all other staff in his room are so lovely and he always has positive things to say about them all. I particularly like the fact that they can spend a great deal of their day in the outdoor classroom and garden area, both of my children love being in the fresh air and this has such a positive impact on their development. All of the staff around the nursery are friendly and welcoming, we receive regular feedback on the app from activities taking place each day, photographs and events going on. He spends his time engaging in various activities and there is a huge variety of resources available for all of the children. Would highly recommend Little Pioneers, Rathvilly!

I cannot speak highly enough of the staff and nursery overall. My son has been attending for 9 months and thoroughly enjoys going. His language and development is progressing amazingly. I have recently just had a baby and the staff have been so accommodating by allowing my son time to adjust to changes at home before they move him up to the 2 year old room so he hasn't experienced everything at once. Would highly recommend.
04 March 2025
The team are so friendly and welcoming every day. They are also really understanding and have excellent communication. My child seems to really enjoy nursery, reaching out for his key worker every day we drop him off no tears. We get a great update verbal at the end of the day too.

The nursery is very clean and after the refurbishment is lovely. All the staff are always friendly and welcoming my child has just moved into another room and he struggles with change but all the staff have been so welcoming and helpful in helping my child settle in.

The staff have ensured that my son has settled really well into the nursery and have made us feel very welcome. The key worker is always really welcoming to me and my family members who collect my child.
