Our son has been going to Smart Cookies for the last year, and it’s been a very positive experience. He went in without a second thought from his very first day and loves going in every day. He’s become more independent and engaged in learning. The staff are excellent – caring, professional, and genuinely invested in the children’s development. I would highly recommend Smart Cookies

Maisie was welcomed into Smart Cookies with open arms, you're greeted by teachers that care and a wonderful group of children. There is a real sense of community between the school and families, providing learning as an extension of your own home. Maisie was a proud smart cookie and we're grateful to have Lisa and the team as part of our girls learning journey ❤️

Our son, Conor, has been a student for Smart Cookies Montessori School for the past two years. We are delighted to say we found their service very efficient and just excellent. Because, as a deaf mother, our son started to develop temporary issues with his speech and learning how to sound out the words, the team, especially Lisa, who has been 100% hands on working with him, such as one to one sessions within the Montessori hours, keeping us informed with the up to date reports that we then sent to extra outside support and also informing us of new developments.
They really are very communicative with emailing and texting with us which was invaluable as due to my hearing impairment, I cannot use the phone.
They really helped the students developing communication with our son and he made great lifelong friends with them. They were always, and still are, there for us both educationally and emotionally for us. We always felt happy every morning leaving Conor in the Montessori, as we know the environment is a very safe and of course a great fun learning experience. Because of their teamwork with ourselves, Conor is now 100% ready for the next chapter going into Junior Infants! We cannot thank them enough for all of their helps throughout the last two years. Conor will truly miss them. We will never forget this and never forget their kindness also.

Sending our daughter to Smart Cookies was one of the best decisions we’ve made. The teachers are outstanding and create a wonderful environment where children are empowered to explore at their own pace. Our daughter has blossomed into a confident and enthusiastic learner, with a genuine sense of discovery and kindness for the world around her. She loves telling us about her ‘work’ each day and often surprises us with her understanding of complex topics we didn’t even realize she was learning!
We are so grateful for the incredible foundation Smart Cookies has provided our daughter. It’s more than just a school; it’s a community that celebrates each child’s unique potential and instils in them a lifelong love of learning. We wholeheartedly recommend Smart Cookies to any family looking for an empowering and very special educational experience for their child.

Our son started at Smart Cookies when he was just over two and a half. Looking back he was such a tiny little guy heading in the door. He has absolutely thrived with Lisa and her fantastic team over the past two and a half years. We will be sending a confident, bright and happy child to primary school in September. He’s learned so much and built positive and loving relationships with his peers and teachers which I know will stand to him for years beyond Montessori.

I had experience of Montessori’s from my own children so when my grandson attended Smart Cookies I figured I knew what to expect. Boy was I wrong. This little gem is unique. Each child has their own little personality and needs tended to by such vocational and dedicated staff. A VERY happy environment where the children thrive. Lisa is also SO hands-on with both the children AND the parents. A once weekly class of exercise and music was a highlight. I cannot recommend this little school highly enough.

We cannot recommend Smart Cookies highly enough. Our son loved it so much that he even wanted to go on weekends too! The staff are not only highly trained and experienced but have the innate skills and intuition needed to foster a safe space and a calm environment that promotes fun and learning. They give above and beyond consideration to each child’s individual needs and what they need to thrive.

What truly stands out is their focus on each child and their development. They proactively support their social skills, confidence, and learning through fun and play. Lisa, Jackie, and Eve are professional, dedicated, and genuinely caring educators who give the children they care for the best possible start.
If you are looking for an expert, inclusive, and supportive Montessori, Smart Cookies is the place to go.

My daughter has been going to Smart Cookies Montessori for last 2 years. Willow absolutely loves going to school every day, she skips in the door every morning. The teachers are amazing - so caring, loving and have taught her so much. The teachers at Smart Cookies go above and beyond to support her develop and grow to be strong and independent girl she is today. It’s like a second home to her. I could not recommend this Montessori more than enough.

Mark has spent two years at Smart Cookies. It has been amazing to watch him grow and mature under the caring supervision of Lisa, Darina and Eve. Like his sister Hannah before him we owe our gratitude to the solid educational grounding they both received in Smart Cookies. Thank you.

Smart Cookies is a warm, caring, happy and exceptionally well run Montessori. My two children, who each spent 2 years there, have been so happy in it. What makes it particularly special is how much time the team spend working with each child one on one, getting to know them as individuals and helping them to develop the skills they need for life. The children are well prepared and confident heading in to primary school after their time with Lisa and her team. I highly recommend it.
