September 2, 2024 at 4:02 amBoth our sons have attended from age 3 until P1. The team are welcoming and engage with both parents and kids and we sense that they really know our kids and family. The outdoor space is remarkable and the kids have extensive access to it. The forest kindergarten provision and welly walks have been a highlight for both our boys. The educational provision is clearly structured, well communicated to parents and enjoyable and engaging for kids. I am extremely pleased with ESMS childcare centre.

September 16, 2024 at 4:05 amMost days she will forget to say goodbye at drop off as she is too excited, preferring to update her educators and friends with what she has been up to since she left them the day before. The team appear to genuinely adore the kids and take a real interest in their development. We know that our daughter is in secure hands and I would highly suggest ESMS Nursery to any parent. Our daughter started at ESMS Nursery in August and absolutely loves it.

September 30, 2024 at 11:48 pmThey handle every situation with such care and compassion. When my son is upset leaving me in the morning they consistently quickly help him and he is bouncing through the door with excitement. We consistently receive excellent feedback from the days activities. Both of my kids have attended the childcare centre and both have loved every aspect. Especially the Forrest kindergarten. The room is consistently (somehow) spotless with a excellent range of activities and equipment available. The childcare centre is outstanding, I could not wish for better.

We have been blown away by how attentive and conscientious the team are. We know our little boy is in secure hands, with people who truly care about his safety, well-being and development. I honestly couldn’t suggest ESMS more. My son started at ESMS Nursery in August last year and we have been absolutely delighted with it.

We have noticed a marked improvement in her social skills and independence. The facilities and outside space by far meet our daughter’s requirements. Overall, very, very cheerful! We could not be happier with the care that we have received for our daughter.

He is so cheerful there, which means we are so cheerful there too! Our son started ESMS Nursery in August 2022 and getting out the door in the morning has never been easier!

March 10, 2025 at 9:24 pmMy son could not speak nor understand English when he started childcare centre. But the team in ESMS Nursery has been very attentive and patient in teaching my son, which makes him sense very comfortable going to school every day despite his language ability. Additionally, I also enjoyed the parent and kid activities organised by the childcare centre, and I wish they can do more in the future. Personally, I think the school has been quite listening and accommodating to parents’ opinions which is excellent as that is essential in making sure we provide the best setting for our kids to learn. I would suggest ESMS to other parents. Our family was relocated from another country.

The educators and childcare centre team are very inviting and nurturing of the kids. The kids adore the music, PE and library choices. Communication with parents is remarkable.

March 27, 2025 at 2:18 amThe team are loving, communicative, approachable and above all extremely capable and well experienced in supporting the kids’s development in a lovely setting. My wee girl developed a lot through playtime and activities at childcare centre and her self‑assurance has grown. I sense relaxed leaving her there because I sense so reassured that she is going to be well looked after and have a lot of enjoyable. She absolutely loves her childcare centre and she is consistently bubbling with happiness when we pick her up having had such a lovely time there. The admin team is efficient and compassionate. She also has her sister attending the same school for the past two years now. We are hugely grateful for the assistance, care and effort all the childcare centre team, the chef, caretaker and management go to in order to ensure kids have a fantastic childcare centre journey. We sense very lucky to have found such a fantastic and cheerful setting for my daughters. Thank you. My daughter joined the childcare centre in August 2020 and from day one she fell in adore with everyone.

April 5, 2025 at 5:03 amShe was asking us over the weekend if she could go to childcare centre again. She loved the space, creativity, educators, adventures on forest walks, and being able to express herself. My daughter just finished 2 years in the ESMS childcare centre and she absolutely loved it.

May 13, 2025 at 5:15 amHaving used other nurseries, I can say with self‑assurance that the ESMS offering is outstanding and I would highly suggest it. ESMS have created something very special in their childcare centre setting, the facilities and team are exceptional, the kids adore their time there and as a parent, you sense a genuine sense of partnership with the childcare centre.

They provide an outstanding mix of activities including music lessons, PE, visits to the school library and sessions of forest kindergarten. The outside space is the largest I’ve seen of any childcare centre. My kids skip in the door every morning and the team go above and beyond every day. My twins attend the childcare centre and absolutely adore it!
