Happy Phases

Happy Faces at Happy Phases

About Us

Established in 1995 and set in a beautiful, detached dormer bungalow conveniently located on Kimmage Road West, Happy Phases is a private Early Years Service providing a safe and friendly home-from-home full day care service for families with children aged between one and six years of age.  

Whilst the bungalow provides a lovely backdrop to our Service, it is our Early Years teachers and staff, many of whom have been with us a long time, who really make the difference. All our Early Years Teachers are qualified in childcare and education and a third of our team are parents themselves.

Choosing a Early Years’ Service is potentially one of the hardest decisions you will ever have to make.  It is also a decision that can be accompanied by expectation, emotion and sometimes  a little anxiety.  Happy Phases aim is simply to provide the best outcomes for children and families that we can.  We know that your child’s time at Happy Phases will be one of happiness, educational and interactive experiences of their childhood, giving them the best start in life that is possible.

We’re open Monday to Friday, from 8am up to 6pm, so if you would like to find out more, then please have a look around our website and if you like what you see, either email us info@happyphases.ie or call (01) 455 9065.

Testimonials

Our kids have a ball here everyday, they have special bonds with all of their teachers and they are developing incredibly well. This place runs like clockwork and we get loads of updates, from photos of the kids having fun to meal times and everything in between. Thank you.

Our kids both loved their time in Happy Phases. Friendly and caring staff ensured that they settled in well and always loved attending.

Both of our children have attended and thrived in Happy Phases. As a smaller, independent creche we feel that their needs have always been met and they are so well cared for by the staff.

We absolutely loved this place and appreciated the time and dedication from teachers. It is a small and kids orientated Creche – nothing like these ”factory” Crèches around. I feel like they looked after my child like he was his own family and he absolutely loved it!!

Started using Happy Phases around 6years ago. My oldest boy loved it and flourished here. Always great staff working here who look after the kids so well. My second child is still attending there now as the service has always been so good. Who knows number three might get a slot in too 🙂 The staff here really support the kids and help them grow.  The activities they do with them each day, to see their proud faces coming out with art work and baking etc always makes me smile. For me so glad that I found this little gem for my kids.
