About this day nursery

Eveline Day Nursery Schools, a family-operated business established in 1964, provides comprehensive childcare services across eight nurseries and a school. Catering to children from three months to five years old, the nurseries operate Monday to Friday, 7:30 am to 6:30 pm, for 51 weeks annually.

The institution prides itself on extending the home environment, fostering growth and development in a nurturing atmosphere. They encourage prospective parents to schedule show-arounds and maintain communication, especially given that many of their nurseries utilise waiting lists.

Flexibility in desired attendance days is beneficial for securing a place. The nursery group emphasises that family values remain central to their operations, which have expanded significantly over more than five decades in childcare.

I have two daughters at Eveline (one is nearly 4 and the other 20 months) and have both attended since they were under 1. I can’t recommend the nursery enough, my husband and I are so happy with Eveline. The staff are extremely friendly and nurturing towards the children, the food is great (both girls always eat well at nursery!) and my children have developed so much since joining. They do lots of fun but educational activities and both daughters love going there. Thank you so much Team Eveline!

Our son has been at Eveline on Geraldine Road since he was 5 months old and is now 4 and off to school in September. He absolutely loves Eveline and has made some wonderful friends. The staff are lovely and extremely accommodating if you need to add an extra day at short notice which has been so useful! The flexibility really makes it feel like an extension of family rather than an organisation. The food is super and has ensured our son is not a fussy eater and has tried lots of new things that he may not have had at home. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend to anyone.

We have a 4 year old who has been at Eveline since she was 14 months and a 2 year old who has been there nearly a year. Both absolutely love it. The staff are really a true extension of us, and hugely supportive when extra days and hours of care are needed. The extra activities (French, Forest School, Mindfulness sessions, Sporty Mini's etc...) are a true testament to extra time put in to every individual. The variety of food served is excellent and encourages non fussy eaters, especially when I get compared to the chef at nursery being better than me :). It will be a sad day in September when our eldest goes to School and says goodbye.
