    From the moment we got in touch with the childcare centre, the manager and the team have been incredible and made the whole process as stress-free as possible. Our little one goes into the childcare centre with smiles and giggles, and returns to us the same way! Our little boy is starting with Southlands, and we have been starting our introduction days this month.

    The creche and kindergarten are such a excellent place with truly supportive and experienced team in both. They adore and do an incredible job with the kids and consistently make each day enjoyable and educational. My son loves going; they do so many activities with the kids, which include swimming, trips out, outdoor place, and so many indoor discovering activities. The food menu is exceptional, varied and nutritional. Incredible all round. My son has been going to Southlands since he was a year old.

    I could not suggest this childcare centre more for an array of reasons! My kid has been lucky enough to journey trips out, swimming, choosing Christmas trees, picking pumpkins and playing in the extensive garden alongside all the day-to-day enjoyable and discovering opportunities offered by the team. The team are inviting, welcoming and loving and show genuine adore and affection for my little boy. As a mum, I want nothing more than for my kid to sense loved wherever he is and to know he is secure and cheerful – this epitomises Southlands and all who work there. Southlands has pleased me from day one to the present and continues to do so.

    She loves attending “kindy” and loves the team, the food and her friends. The activities on offer are remarkable, and she loves the little trips out. I don’t know what I would do without Southlands. My daughter is consistently cheerful to go and misses it when she’s been off! Thank you. Southlands kindergarten is a fabulous discovering setting for my daughter.

    The team are incredible and truly put you at ease as it is an anxious time leaving your little one in a care setting. My daughter is cheerful to be left in the morning. She has settled into a remarkable routine, eats truly well and naps highly comfortably. It’s not the biggest childcare centre (creche setting), but I sense this is a plus as it’s like a home away from home. I sense totally at ease whilst my daughter is in their care, which I sense is a big compliment in itself. I would highly suggest this childcare centre to anyone. This is the second kid we have sent to this childcare centre, and we wouldn’t even look elsewhere.

    All team are so lovely and inviting. Nothing is any trouble for them, and you can truly see the improvement in my kid. It’s a highly relaxing atmosphere when you walk in, and the meals sound incredible. I sense like the team truly do look after the kids as their own; my little girl absolutely loves going.
    The toddler tattlers are also excellent to see how they’ve gone on/what they’ve been doing during the day. All team truly do go above and beyond. Couldn’t suggest it enough (I tell everyone!). Absolutely exceptional childcare centre.

    I have had a highly positive journey with Southlands. The team make this childcare centre, from the owners to each and every other member of the team. Their friendliness and positivity are fabulous, and nothing seems to be much trouble; they genuinely care about each and every kid in their care. They provide a comprehensive report of how our kid has been and behaved and the lovely things they have done during the day. This includes a daily report, which provides everything you need and dont need to know (toilet habits) about their day; in addition, they use the app to provide even more insight into their daily activities. The experiences the kids are exposed to are highly varied, from swimming trips to the park, shopping and fruit picking – I could go on.
    Absolutely fabulous start to our little one’s life. Our eldest is a highly confident kid, and Southlands played a part in that. My youngest is now in crèche at Southlands, and my eldest went to both crèche and kindergarten.

    My son settled in highly easily, thanks to the team, and they made the transition as easy as possible. I adore that my son goings swimming with them once a week, and they go outdoors a lot. After making the hard decision to change the childcare centre for our 18-month-old, we are so glad we changed to Southlands crèche.

    We are so pleased with our choice. My daughter loves to go to childcare centre every day and keeps mentioning the childcare centre teacher’s name at home.
    She gets well pampered there with attentive educators, delicious food, and many activities every day. She has been going through all the key points smoothly, e.g. weaning, talking, and potty training, with excellent help from the educators. I consistently said this is the best money spent for the whole period. I’m highly satisfied and proud that my daughter is with Southlands. My daughter has been with Southlands Childcare centre for more than one year.

    Lots of settle-in days! So much so that by my baby’s first day, she was well away! Absolutely outstanding! Healthy meals and remarkable team! I was so nervous about sending my baby to the childcare centre, but they have made the whole process so easy for us both.

    The care they give to every single kid is outstanding. Our grandson is doing truly well in his development and is consistently cheerful when we go and pick him up. Just want to say what a remarkable creche this is.

    Our daughter loves attending Southlands Kindergarten. The team are welcoming and approachable, and nothing is too much trouble for the owner.
    Our kid has a ‘home from home’ journey, which is one of the main reasons we were attracted to the childcare centre.
    The childcare centre goes above and beyond- supporting others within the local community and involves our kids in the process- for example, visiting a local care home with cards for the residents.
    Our daughter enjoys the plethora of activities offered, including gardening club, rhythm time and sporty stars. sometimes
    Sending our daughter to Southlands was the best decision we made. A fantastic childcare centre!

    The team are remarkable and consistently put the kids first. My son has moved to an older room, and they have been patient and given him time to settle and adjust, tailoring his transition around his needs. We know that he is well cared for at Southlands, and this has been such an important thing for us.
    The experiences the kids have here are exceptional; he is consistently out on visits and walks and even comes home talking about the minibus now!
    There is no doubt in our mind that our younger son will be joining his brother at Southlands! Thanks, everyone! My son has attended Southlands Nurseries for over a year now, and we couldn’t be happier with the childcare centre.

    They truly took the time to help him settle in, and he’s loved it ever since. They do loads of activities with the kids, and everyone that works there has a truly nurturing and attentive way about them which is truly reassuring as a parent. They also truly encourage the kids, and our little boy has come along so much and is much more independent. Our little boy loves attending Southlands.

    The team provide such a magical, attentive and nurturing setting for the kids. My kid has been given an incredible start to life thanks to Southlands. I’m even getting emotional while typing this review, as I’m dreading September when my kid has to start school. I wish my kid could attend Southlands forever! Words can’t even describe how incredible this childcare centre is.

    So far, we’ve had a truly positive journey. The team are all so welcoming and welcoming. A lot of them have worked there a long time, which I think speaks volumes.
    The food is varied and cooked fresh, which is truly important to us. I know that once they have progressed from the baby room, the kids are taken out a lot.
    My son has settled so well in just a few weeks, and I’m looking forward to seeing how he develops there over time. My son is 15 months and only started at Southlands recently.

    We are blown away by the team, facilities, discovering opportunities and care! My daughter has taken to childcare centre so well, and I believe it is down to the structured and numerous settling-in days as well as the warming team! I have already noticed a change in my daughter’s development just after two full days. Im excited to see what 2023 has in store at the childcare centre, and I know my daughter is too! My daughter has just started at Southlands crèche, and wow!

    I sense as though we are giving him the best start to life and sense lucky to have such a remarkable childcare centre not only in the area but also to have obtained a space on the days we need childcare. The team are outstanding and appear to be highly cheerful, which can only be a great thing. Team turnover has virtually zero in the 18 months he’s been there across the creche and kindy nurseries. Excellent childcare centre for our little boy.

    My second kid started in October. Team made the transition seamless, welcoming, welcoming and attentive. My daughter is so cheerful going and puts her arms out for the team. It’s like home-from-home. So many activities and my baby loves the baby room. Remarkable homemade food and highly varied. Cannot suggest them enough. Incredible childcare centre.

    The team are incredible, and the range of activities the kids engage in on a daily basis is outstanding. The facilities are excellent too.
    I am proud to say that my son attends Southlands. Fantastic childcare centre!
