Could not be happier with our experience in Bright Sparks over the past few years. An incredibly welcoming Montessori, Lynsey and her staff do the most amazing job in helping the kids to settle, gently caring for them while teaching them in a loving manner. Time is taken by staff to really understand and get to know each individual child. It’s a fun, warm and welcoming environment. The facilities are great, from the materials inside, kid friendly toilets, and the garden being a massive advantage for plenty of outdoor time. Delighted to have another year to go with second child attending. Happy kids, grateful parents, thanks Lynsey and team

I really can’t recommend Bright Sparks enough. Lynsey and all of the team are so incredibly kind, child centred, skilled and compassionate. They are so patient and understanding and meet every child exactly where they are, always taking a unique child development perspective into account. Their approach is holistic and empathic, and they tailor their activities to help support children in developing skills across a broad range of areas. If you have a sensitive little soul, they are hugely helpful in understanding transitions may take a little more time. A collaborative process with both caregiver and child is always at the forefront of their mind. It is clear their main goal is to help your little one feel as at ease and comfortable as they possibly can. We feel incredibly lucky to have met this wonderful team of professionals and we can’t thank them enough for making our sons first year such a happy one. Highly recommend Bright Sparks, 5+++++ Star review.

Bright Sparks is a wonderful preschool with fantastic teachers and very friendly, loving atmosphere. My son loves it, and is very happy going in every day and I think this is the best sign that he is in good hands! I highly recommend this great montessori.

Bright Sparks is an incredible montessori. Lynsey the owner and all the staff are not only highly qualified, they are passionate about each child in their care. Their genuine love for the children they teach is so special to see. Our daughter started a few months ago having been in another Montessori and there is no comparison, she skips into school. The support and atmosphere is so positive. All the staff are so eager to help and always make time for any questions or concerns. A friend who is a local primary school teacher told me she always knows when a kid starts in her class who has come from bright sparks because they are so prepared for school. The Montessori itself is well fitted and laid out with lots of activities and a great outdoor space. In addition to the Montessori, bright sparks also hold play sessions, art classes and other extra curricular activities. I can't recommend this Montessori enough and I know all the parents in the class feel the same! If you're lucky enough to have your child get a place, you won't regret sending them I promise!

We moved to Ireland and were so happy to find Bright Sparks for my 3 year old! From the first day, she has loved the sweet teachers, the outdoor space for playing, and everything provided to her. They take field trips, teach the kids all sorts of topics, and engage them in fun learning. Everyone associated with Bright Sparks is lovely and you can tell they really care about the kids. I couldn't imagine a better place for our daughter to be going to Montessori!

Bright Sparks is an amazing Montessori which had been recommended to me by several people. Lynsey is professional, dedicated and has a great passion for what she does. Herself, Claire, Claudia and Aoibheann are all brilliant teachers. Their kindness and caring nature creates a wonderful atmosphere throughout the school. My son has loved going in each day. He adores his teachers and always enjoys the wide range of activities. The communication between staff and parents is excellent. My son has progressed so much since he started here and I know that he will be well prepared for ‘big school’ thanks to all at Bright Sparks.

Bright Sparks is a wonderful Montessori. All who teach there are brilliant and empathetic educators and any child who is lucky enough to attend will have a head start on their education.

Our son moved to Bright Sparks Montessori in September for his second year of ECCE. We first met Lynsey in January 2023, when our son started to attend play therapy. Lynsey is one of those very special people who has an ability to connect with children and bring out the best in them. We consider ourselves incredibly lucky that we could get our son a place in Bright Sparks Montessori. As parents of a child with additional needs, the approach of Lynsey and all the amazing teachers that work along side her has been an experience where we get to see our son thrive in an inclusive, encouraging environment. We have watched our little boy become so comfortable and confident running in to Bright Sparks each morning. We are very grateful for the support and kindness that Lynsey has shown us as a family since we first met her and she continues to show us and our son each day.

We are so happy with Bright Sparks, Erin started with summer camp and is in her first year of Montessori and overall is loving it. We have seen fantastic development in her speech and language and her social skills. We love listening to her stories from school & seeing the updates on the app. Claire, Aoibheann and Claudia are doing such an amazing job with their class.
