I worked here myself for a short time in two of their crèches Clondalkin & Lucan & can honestly say it's the nicest crèche Ive worked in the only place Ive worked where I would leave my own child. The girls in Clondalkin are great it's like a home from home for all the kiddies they are lovely & the Lucan girls also lovely with the children and a great homey feel in both places! Would defo recommend them to anyone who asks me & have done. Laura Mackey
