Hi, I am looking for some advice or opinions on any playschools in the area. We have a 3 yr old that we are thinking of enrolling 5 days a week for 4 hours, would anyone have a rough idea how much this would cost?
We are in the Beaverstown Rd area, so if there was somewhere nearby that would be great.
Any opinions welcome, thanks so much.

Hi, I,ve 2 kids in Irene's angels and its great, small crèche so kids get great attention, and Irene the owner is lovely , we had some issues with my daughter settling in and Irene and Petra were fantastic with her, I,d strongly recommend there, excellent crèche, my 3 yr old knows all his colours ,sounds, can count, all thanks to Irene, Petra and Shane, they do great little Birthday parties for the kids too, they decorate the place in the child's favourite colour and everything !and beside Supervalu so very central

Hi hours are 9.15 to 12.15 and Irene does ecce places which is the free yr for 3 yr olds, not sure what this years price will be, and I don,t really want to go into that detail here, but its the going rate for a Montessori , so give her a ring if you're interested, as I said before irene and petra are great and really get to know the kids interests and my boy will be back in September and after 2 years there our daughter is happily heading off to big school

I second Treehouse as well. My niece finished her pre-school year there in June and loved it. Her mum spoke highly of the staff there.

I would recommend Little Acorns in Somerton or Baloos in Beaverbrook at top of Beaverstown Road.

I think both do 9.15-12.15 but Baloos also does an afternoon session until 3pm providing lunch. Little Acorns only takes about 10 kids and there were 2 teachers when we had ours there.
