Recommendations & Reviews

Skye Ible

Throughout my tours of childcare centres in Waterford West, Hatchlings was by far the best. Its home like environments and friendly and welcoming staff were the highlight of the visit. They also have a large outdoor playground with real grass which my son just loves. If you haven't already I would highly recommend popping in for a visit.

This centre has the most amazing staff, always lending a helping hand whenever needed. Hatchlings has been the most amazing place to have come across in the childcare community. Everyone is so friendly and the centre makes you feel like your at home. This is an awesome childcare centre.

Dee Thompson

People that actually don’t just care for your children but want to nuture and invest into their little lives. Everything from its decor and design to the care for the children has a intentionality that goes beyond just a childcare centre .

Wow what can I say hatchlings is family to us my little one has been there sense he was six weeks old and is turning one in a couple of weeks. They bend over backwards to meet all his and cater to all his allergy needs which there are many. My little man has grown so much in his time with his dedicated educators supporting him through all his milestones and learning.
