Both of our children went to Kiddi-Creche and absolutely loved it. The staff are amazing - you can tell they really care about the kids and make every day fun and welcoming. Tess in particular has been brilliant and made such a difference to our kids. They both got a great start there, made some great friends, gained confidence and were really well prepared for school. We honestly couldn’t recommend Kiddi-Creche enough!

Our little boy started at Kiddie creche at 11 months. He left at school nursery age. He absolutely loved his time here and settled in so quickly. He still talks about some of the staff and how much he misses them. Kiddie creche is warm, caring, inviting safe place for children to learn, grow and most importantly have a good time.

Our son has spent the last three years at Kiddi-Crêche, and we couldn’t be happier with the care he’s received. The staff are so kind, patient, and genuinely dedicated to the children. He always loved going in, made wonderful friends, and grew so much in confidence and independence. We’re so thankful for the nurturing environment they created and the support they gave our family. We’ll always have the fondest memories of his time here and highly recommend Kiddi-Crêche to any parents looking for a safe and happy place for their little one.

The care provided has always gone above and beyond, creating a safe and loving environment where my children have truly thrived. They were always happy and excited to go to nursery, which speaks volumes about the wonderful atmosphere. The staff are fantastic—kind, attentive, and dedicated to treating each child as an individual, ensuring their needs are met with warmth and care. If you’re looking for a nurturing, supportive, and stimulating environment for your child, Kiddi-Creche is the perfect choice!

They are really great! they are kind and loving with the kids. Our child is super-happy there and you can see how much he develops. Furthermore, as a family, we've gone through a few changes which required cutting down the time our child was going to nursery and then having him back again full time, and they've always been super accommodating. We are really happy with Kiddi-creche Holmstead and would highly recommend it to other parents.
