Our daughter, Maya, absolutely loves it there! Every time we mention going to the creche, she lights up with joy. When we pick her up, she's always smiling and playing happily with her friends. The teachers provide outstanding care and comfort, creating a secure and welcoming environment. Her social skills have significantly improved, and she has made wonderful friendships. We appreciate the regular updates and open communication. We highly recommend your creche for nurturing and stimulating child care. Thank you for the exceptional care!

"My two children have attended Lansdowne Lodge from a very young age. Every aspect of their and my experience has been very positive. The facilities are top class and the communication with Parents is also very good. However, it is the staff that make Lansdowne Lodge special. Without exception, every single person that has taught my children over the years has been fantastic - they are caring, extremely well trained, thoughtful and very easy to get on with. I couldn't ask for more and my children are delighted to go in every morrning"

They go above and beyond to tailor to the needs of the individual and we have always found the carers and management go above and beyond to help, advise and support. It has a fantastic ethos and approach to its programmes and it truly feels like a care led business"

"My son has been attending Lansdowne Lodge since his first birthday. He has truly flourished, both developmentally and socially. He is delighted to arrive each morning and so happy and comfortable in the company of his friends and his wonderful teachers. He learns so much and is cared for so well - and has so much fun! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Lansdowne Lodge to other parents."
