Once Upon a Time Nursery & Montessori School - Carrickmines Manor

Kudos to Mairead. What a manager! You rock! Congrats and thanks to the whole staff!

Lovely staff, caring environment.

We are 8 weeks using this crèche. Our daughter loves it here and she settled in so well. All staff are very friendly, lovely to deal with and provide a warm, caring environment for our child with daily updates and photo giving us feedback and an insight into what she got up to! The food they offer is good too. She sometimes does not want to leave at pickup time and runs the opposite direction 😂

We have two kids in this creche and are extremely happy with the staff and minders. Both kids run through the door each morning which is a great sign. We had road safety incident at the weekend with our kids and this came up in conversation this week at creche. Carol and Mairead have gone above and beyond by incorporating this into next weeks classes which we didn't ask for but is absolutely fantastic

We have had our 3 children in this creche and think it is excellent. Can highly recommend.

We are delighted with our son's progress and development at Once Upon a Time Carrickmines. I must emphasize that the teachers' warmth and caring nature towards the little ones are evident and palpable in every classroom.

We absolutely love Once Upon a Time Carrickmines. Our children were new this term having coming from another crèche and montessori. They have settled in so well and love going in every day. The staff and management are so kind, warm and welcoming and always go over and above to ensure the children are always happy and always learning. Couldn’t recommend OUAT enough!

My 2 sons have been attending since summer 2023. They moved from another creche and I can honestly say the transition was flawless. The staff are brilliant and they really do care for the children. Both our boys come home happy every day which is the most important thing and that is due to the level of care and brilliant atmosphere in the creche.

My twin boys attend OUAT in Carrickmines and they absolutely love it. They have met such lovely friends and the staff are incredibly friendly and look after them so well.

We love it here! The staff are truly wonderful, they are caring, attentive, and always go above and beyond to make sure our son feels safe and happy. We appreciate the variety of activities and learning opportunities provided. Our son loves going to daycare every day, and we have peace of mind knowing he's in such good hands.
