Hollypark Private Nursery & Preschool

Situated in the heart of Portadown, Hollypark is a distinguished private educational nursery, preschool, and apres school, providing exceptional care and education for children since 2013. Housed in a converted family home with generous private grounds and mature gardens, Hollypark offers a unique, home-like environment that fosters creativity, encourages exploration, and nurtures a lifelong love of learning.

Our Vision

Our vision is to create an environment where families feel welcomed, memories are made, and children are inspired. We believe that a successful early years education is built upon a strong partnership between families and our dedicated team of educators. Our aim is to not only meet the individual needs of each child but to exceed expectations by providing a well-rounded educational experience that fosters growth, independence, and a strong sense of self.

Hollypark Edu-Care: An Unparalleled Educational Experience

At Hollypark, we believe that education goes beyond the basics of numeracy and literacy. We understand the importance of introducing children to a wide range of experiences that will broaden their horizons, ignite their curiosity, and lay the foundation for a successful future. Our enrichment programmes are carefully designed to provide a comprehensive, experiential learning opportunity that supports and prepares children for the future.

As part of our Edu-Care approach, we offer the following programmes:

• Baby Room: Our baby room welcomes children from 3 months to 15 months. Here, we focus on creating a nurturing environment that promotes attachment, exploration, and sensory development.

• Wobblers Room: For children aged 12-24 months, our Wobblers Room offers a stimulating environment that encourages the development of motor skills, language, and social interaction.

• Toddlers Room: Our Toddlers Room is designed for children aged 2-3 years. Here, we focus on building independence, social skills, and early numeracy and literacy skills through play-based learning and exploration.

• Preschool Room: For children aged 3-4 years, our Preschool Room provides a rich, engaging curriculum that prepares children for the transition to primary school.

• New Hollypark Apres School: Our brand new Apres School offers after-school care for children aged 4-12 years. Here, children can engage in a variety of activities, including arts and crafts, sports, and homework support.

Healthy Living Nursery

At Hollypark, we understand the importance of a healthy lifestyle. That's why we offer a range of healthy living initiatives, including a balanced, nutritious menu, physical activity, and mindfulness practices. Our aim is to instill a lifelong love of healthy living in every child in our care.

Our Commitment to the Community and Charity

At Hollypark, we are dedicated to making a positive impact on the lives of children and families in our community. We are proud to support local charities and causes, such as Cancer Fund for Children and Keep Northern Ireland Beautiful. We believe that by working together, we can make a difference and create a better future for all.
