    We had a wonderful experience with Imagine That! Preschool. After visiting many daycare centres and initially enrolling elsewhere, we eventually made the decision to switch - and it was by far the best decision we could have made. Out of all the centres we visited, Imagine That! truly stood out. Both our boys attended, starting in the infant room and moving through to the toddler and preschool rooms. We were part of the centre for nearly four years, and throughout that time, the staff were consistently warm, professional, and genuinely invested in our children’s wellbeing. They took the time to really get to know our boys as individuals and to build relationships with us as a family. The communication with families was excellent. And whether we were navigating tricky drop-offs, a new sibling, or a house move, the team was always supportive, thoughtful, and responsive. Any concerns or questions we raised were handled with care and respect, which really made us feel heard and valued. The centre itself is a great size, with impressive teacher-child ratios that allow for lots of one-on-one attention. One of the things we appreciated most was how every staff member knew all the children and families. It’s a very connected and nurturing environment. The teachers do a fantastic job of following each child’s interests and supporting their unique strengths. We are so grateful for our time at Imagine That! and wholeheartedly recommend it to any family looking for a high-quality early childhood centre where children are truly seen, supported, and celebrated. Thank you Anna and the amazing team for having been such a valuable part of our village.

    We’ve had such a wonderful experience with Imagine That! Preschool. The teachers are incredibly nurturing, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about what they do. From day one, our child has felt safe, supported, and excited to go to school—something every parent hopes for. The environment is creative, inspiring, and full of thoughtful touches that reflect a true understanding of early childhood development. The team fosters a beautiful balance of structured learning and free play, allowing the kids to explore, grow, and thrive at their own pace. We’re constantly impressed by the communication, the inclusive values, and the way the staff treat each child as an individual. Imagine That! has truly become an extension of our family, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Highly recommend to any family looking for a preschool that goes above and beyond.

    Anna and the team are absolutely amazing. My daughter is about to turn 5, and I am so happy I moved her to Imagine That! She’s been there for almost a year and a half, and she has absolutely thrived. The teachers take so much time to learn each and every child. They treat them with respect, care and love. They also have such a fabulous environment that is full with great resources and opportunities to learn and explore. My daughter is always so excited to tell me what she’s learnt or what she’s working on. Or the conversations she’s had with her teachers. I also love that they’re very family oriented and have really lovely gatherings where families get to be involved.

    Our daughter went to Imagine that for 3 years and we really loved it. She was happy there, the teachers really followed the children’s interests. It was a really nice feeling walking in and knowing that your daughter would have had a day full of experiences and fun. They also really acknowledged and supported her culture when possible also

    We've had such a wonderful experience with Imagine That! over the past few years. Our son, now 4, and our daughter, now 2, both absolutely loved their time there. As parents, there's nothing more reassuring than seeing your children excited to go to daycare every day, and that was always the case here. The teachers are truly amazing—caring, patient, and incredibly dedicated. They took the time to get to know each child individually and created a nurturing, fun, and safe environment that helped our kids thrive both socially and emotionally. We’ve seen so much growth in our children, from learning routines and social skills to coming home with songs, crafts, and stories about their day. We're so grateful to have found a place that feels like a second home for our little ones. Highly recommend to any family looking for a warm and supportive daycare community!

    My daughter has been attending Imagine That for over a year now and is thriving. She loves it there, never wants to get in the car at the end of the day and her education and knowledge has exploded. The teachers are all lovely, bubbly, fun, and are always happy to see us. Amazing team and Anna the owner/operator is incredible! She clearly loves what she does and takes huge pride in her centre. Send your kids here and you won’t be disappointed!

    I did not like management and their system of enrollment.its private own ,its in one hand ,so all depend on manager decisions and her rules apply . Any way it's my experience.

    Shaun has been attending Imagine That since it opened. He was only 5 months old when he started there and he’ll be 4 soon. Shaun has thrived and really enjoys going. The owner Anna is hands-on which is great. Even when Shaun needed multiple hip surgeries and he was in a bulky cast, the team adapted and learnt what they needed to do while he was in their care with no hesitation. I would have definitely in recommend Imagine That to anyone looking.

    So went to all the visits at this center but they said no after the visits. Discrimination is at the max in the lakes privileged people all over the place. Now my girls always mention going there but not allowed now smarmy

    Anna and the team at Imagine That have been amazing throughout our daughters time with them. The staff are exceptional, caring and professional. The school itself is faultless and has a number of beautiful play areas. We had a great relationship with our wee one’s lead carer Mairead and this relationship made putting her into care a stress and guilt free transition. Simply, we couldn’t imagine sending our tot anywhere else and can’t recommend Imagine That any more highly.
