I walked in here yesterday and i liked the idea that many of the toys are there on display waiting…read morefor the young children to come along and play with them. They had dolls and dolls houses, educational toys for boys and girls and much more. The toys are all directed mainly towards the younger children and unfortunately my daughters are just getting that bit older for dolls and such although my 7 year old still likes buggies she is just a wee bit tall for the ones here.

My two have been here 10 months - one full time and one after schooler. You can't beat the…read morereliability of a professional service. We have been down the childminder route and its a nightmare when it doesn't work out. the staff here are amazing, stephanie and beisha are legends. It's a little pricey but there are discounts for siblings, meals are included, they do full days when the schools are off, they don't charge for outings, you still get your government payment for the year before school. I'm told the after schoolers are getting a pet but that's an update for another day.

I find them great. Good varied food menu. Nice carers. Kids get to play in garden a lot. I have…read moreone little one there and she loves it!! Very clean. Management has been very easy to deal with. They try to help you out on days when your childcare needs change a bit. But my daughter gives the best review when she runs in happily every day!

I used to work here and it was the most miserable year of my life. The owner expects staff to work…read morelong hours for very little pay and we frequently missed lunch breaks. She has no respect for her staff and shows them a very different face to the one she puts on for parents. There is very poor communication, staffs needs are not listened to and decisions are made without consultation. Many of my co-workers would fake sick days and cry in the bathroom, most of the original group I worked with have left, some even leaving childcare for good as a result of their bad experiences. I would advise against anyone considering this as a work environment.

I can honestly say that choosing Glenone for my childcare was one of the best decisions I ever…read moremade. I had initially put my son in another crèche and immediately knew it wasn't right and moved him, the comparison was unbelievable. Glenone is well run and the staff couldn't be better. The garden is a real asset and the children love the freedom and space to play. I'm content when my son is at crèche because I trust that he is receiving the best care possible and that is all we can wish for. I think that the secret to the success of Glenone is the proprietor Susie who has created a special environment good enough for her own precious twins and we're lucky enough to have the same for our children.

The Base is a community centre supporting children and young people in Ballyfermot…read more They have a child-care facility, youth groups and adult groups (Slimming World), as well as teen parents support groups and a cafeteria. They provide a range of services for the community, including art rooms, media rooms, a 100 seat theatre for performances and rehearsals, a recording studio, a chill out space and a health suite. They're located next to a very large gym and swimming pool, which is awesome. The Base is providing a crucial service to the youths of Ballyfermot. The building is quite big, very clean and well maintained (apart from some graffiti outside but that's not a huge deal). It's well lit up, has car and bike parking and is monitored by CCTV. It's a great centre.

They have really helped with his development and as you would hope, are great with kids.
