"I can highly recommend Mullingar Montessori & The Den After School Care service.
Our 2 girls attend The Den and they so enjoy it there.
They get a nice little walk down from Holy Family school, chatting to their friends, then do their homework in a warm caring environment before enjoying some creative play time.
They are full of news about the day at collection time and it’s lovely to hear all about the fun they have at the Den.
And of course all about Bernie’s wonderful delicious meals keeping tummies full and satisfied!
All the staff are lovely. We are lucky to have to have this wonderful service in Mullingar."

"My son joined year 2 room 6 Montessori in September and I have to say he's just at the end of his first term and he's the happiest little boy ever.
he looks forward to attending every day and cries when he can't attend if he's unwell.. he's almost writing his name where as he couldn't even hold a pencil before this.
He's reading books at home .. before .. he wouldn't take his books out ...
The Montessori itself is every child's dream equipped with the most beautiful and high standard facilities.
The Staff are wonderful, helpful, kind and caring .. Sean Is loving every moment of his time here.. he's a very happy and lucky boy.. he adores his teacher Ann Marie .. well done to Ursula and all the staff that make this Montessori a magical and educational environment for our children .. highly recommended and 5 stars from Mum Dad and Seán Turner"
