"Our experience with Rathduff Playschool has been absolutely wonderful. From the very first day, it was clear that the staff provide an exceptional level of care and attention to every child. The staff are warm, patient and genuinely invested in each child's growth and happiness. The environment is nurturing, well organised and designed to make children feel safe and confident as they learn and explore. My daughters thrived socially, emotionally and academically during their time there and always looked forward to going. Where little hearts grow and bright minds begin!”

"I cannot speak highly enough of our experience with this wonderful school. The teachers are truly the heart of this play school. Their genuine warmth, patience and dedication to each child's development has been remarkable. The creative curriculum, from art projects to story time, from outdoor play to early learning activities, kept my daughters engaged and happy throughout their time here. Both my daughters blossomed during their years here, developing confidence, social skills and a love of learning that has served them well as they've moved forward in their education."
