OUR APPROACH

Curiosity leads the way.

At Curiosity House, we want children to love learning, exploring and making sense of the world around them.

We create a warm, happy environment where children are encouraged to be curious, creative and confident. Through play, hands-on experiences and plenty of opportunities to explore, children can, learn new skills and grow at their own pace develop their own interests.

Most importantly, we want every child to feel happy, supported and excited to learn.

WHAT PARENTS SAY

"From the very beginning, we felt welcomed and supported by the team at Curiosity Crèche. It has been wonderful to watch our children develop new skills, build friendships, and grow in confidence in such a warm and positive environment. The care, patience, and genuine enthusiasm shown by the staff make a real difference, and we are incredibly grateful to have found such a fantastic crèche."
George & Niamh
"Pandora has gained so much knowledge and has learned how to play with other children. She has learned how to sit together with her friends, share toys, enjoy meals, and read books with her classroom teachers. She has also learned how to interact with other adults besides her mom and dad. She has learned how to paint and colour, and she is so happy to see her friends every day."
Ursula
"We are so grateful. As first-time parents and foreigners with no family support here, choosing Curiosity House was the best decision we could have made. The childcare staff are amazing, so patient, respectful and kind. Our little boy absolutely loves them. As soon as we arrive, he reaches out his arms to the carers to be picked up, and when we collect him, he comes out with the biggest smile. It gives us such peace of mind knowing he is so happy, comfortable and well cared for. Thank you!"
Clara & Martin
"We have been so happy with the care our children receive at the crèche. The staff are warm, creative, engaging and genuinely attentive to each child’s individual needs. We also really appreciate the regular communication with parents, which keeps us informed and reassured about how our children are doing. It’s clear that the children are well cared for, supported, and happy, and we feel very fortunate to have found such a wonderful crèche."
Hilary
"Our daughter was in Curiosity House for almost 4 years from baby room, to playgroup and into Montessori and she really loved it. We knew from day 1 that we were in good hands and as Lily progressed through each of the rooms, it was done in a timely manner, allowing her to settle in as much as possible. We couldn’t be happier with our experience.Lily has been happy and well cared for, and it’s always been such a comfort knowing she’s in a safe, warm and nurturing environment. The staff are absolutely wonderful — kind, caring and genuinely invested in the children. Our daughter has built such lovely relationships with them and has grown so much in confidence and independence during her time there. She always has so much to tell us about her day, the activities they’ve done and the fun she’s had with her friends. We are so grateful for all the care, patience and encouragement they’ve given our daughter and would happily recommend the crèche to any family looking for somewhere their child will feel genuinely happy, secure and cared for."
