Simbas Childcare - Stradbrook Park

My 3 children all went there, loved it. they were always so happy to go in, the staff was lovely and really bonded with them, and the kids learnt a lot there 🌟 …

I can't speak highly enough of Simba's Blackrock! From day 1 of walking my little one in the front doors , the teachers have encouraged and guided the children and parents ! Throughout Covid they have managed to reassure the kiddies and keep some normality , and have gone above and beyond. I would highly recommend this professional, loving and trustworthy Montessori.

Fantastic, dedicated team and a great learning environment for children. Communication, class content, level of care and engagement is second to none. Our child loved their time in Simbas and i would not hesitate to recommend them. They really are a hidden gem.

We sent our son to Simbas for 2 years and it was a great choice! His teachers Miriam, Vanesa and Rachel were fantastic and clearly truly care for the kids. He loved his time there, always looked forward to going to school and would sometimes even ask to go at the weekend! The activities were excellent and he learned a lot there - receiving photos and updates on what he did at school through the app was also a great feature, highly recommended and sad to be leaving!

My three children have all attended Simbas since 2014. This Is the end of a lovely era for me and my children. They have all loved their time in Simbas, have made friends that they still have now. The teachers are so kind and their attention to detail of the child’s well-being is second to none. Kim, who owns and runs Simbas, is always so helpful, accommodating and above all kind. I’m really going to miss the lovely chats at pick up and drop offs. I’d highly recommend Simbas for anyone looking for early childhood education.

We will always be grateful for the wonderful first experience of school given to our son by Simbas, particularly the amazing Anne-Marie. As a teacher I have been blown away by the amazing integration of the themes, how active the children are, and the beautiful activities they engage in. It is such a relief to see your child bound into school every day so happy. Anne-Marie has been so generous with her time, the communication is absolutely exceptional and I have always been so reassured by the fact that the teachers really "get" my child. I would unreservedly reccomend Simbas to anyone. Thank you so much for all the hard work you do!

Our son was in Simbas during the Covid19 year so it was a bit stop-start. It was first year in a creche and the staff were brilliant at getting him to settle. He had a great year and runs in everyday. The daily pictures and updates through the app are a great way of feeling connected with what he is doing. I would have no problems recommending Simbas.

Both my children have loved Simbas. My son is in primary school now and still talks about it. Our daughter had hearing problems and had to get grommets, which meant she was a bit behind with her speech. Everyone at Simbas helped her catch up and she's very talkative now and full of confidence. All the teachers are amazing. I can't recommend Simbas enough!

I can not thank Simba’s enough for the 2 most brilliant years my daughter spent there. Miriam, Sade and Rachel are beyond amazing not only at teaching the children but actually caring for them, ensuring they are all happy and having fun everyday. My little one still tells me how much she misses going there especially seeing Rachel, learning how to bake, all of the arts and crafts, the songs and actual learning they done amazed me, coming home to hear all about the Great Barrier Reef and South Africa - as a teacher I can appreciate their structure and curriculum layout and it’s by far of the best Montessori’s around Blackrock.
