Fireflies offers amazing after school and holiday children. My daughters have always enjoyed attending. They do lovely activities, have word of the week and encourage the children to try new food. Having to work is always easier when you know that your child is well looked after and having a lot of fun.

Fireflies are an excellent establishment I can 100% recommend Fireflies as a safe , fun , caring and professional place. The team are all so lovely and show so much kindness and inclusiveness, I have used their services for 3 years now and will continue to do so for many more years to come. The range of activities provided are really unique and hold the children’s interests, the sessions are good value and all their services are essential in many ways. Holiday club is really worth while especially for working parents or even just to give some more variety for the half terms / summer holidays. I do not know how I would have managed without Fireflies support and services. Feel assured knowing your children are being cared for by Fireflies!

My son loved going to Fireflies (After School Club & Holiday Club)! He thought it was great fun and especially enjoyed the art and crafts activities. Emily and her team were amazing with the children. They were fun, kind and patient and Emily was great in keeping parents updated. I would highly recommend Fireflies!

Thank you to Emily and her team who have always been there when we have needed them even in urgent times! In my sons own words "its way better than school!" A comfortable safe environment that we are blessed to have access to. Great feedback on the days events about the wonderful things the children have learnt and taken part in. Newsletters and up to date information all dealt with in a professional and well managed way. I cannot recommend Fireflies Childcare enough and my son always has a fun and enjoyable experience. Thank you x x

Fireflies is a great afterschool club, with excellent teachers. The sessions are always well thought out with a new food to try and a new word each week. My son thoroughly enjoys his time here and doesn't always want to leave. Highly recommend the afterschool care and holiday clubs. Excellent value for money too.
