“Utterly happy that the space like that has been opened in East End. Welcoming, warm, organised. Montessori set up to the highest standard. We loved it and will be back next week!”

“Beautiful new space and lovely host. Really lovely well thought out themes every week with a good range of stories and arts and crafts tied into the story theme of the week. My two wee ones of different ages (20 months and 3.5 years) always have such a great time, especially doing songs, parachutes and bubbles at the end. My toddler calls it “Kirsten’s class” and is always so excited to go. Kirsten’s a total credit to the toddler class space and we were very excited to visit her new venue after being regulars for a while!! Definitely visit you won’t regret it 🌸💐🥰”

“Friendly and welcoming toddler class. The classes are well thought out and engaging. Lots of freedom for children to play or do the arts and crafts. Also like that you can book an indvidual class aswell as the option to book a block, bit more flexibility than other classes that we have been to before.”
- Deborah Wood
“What a amazing space My 2 year old daughter loved it from storytelling and painting and all the toys and music and bubbles. We will be back”

“Me and my 4 month old love going to the Daisy and Dragon newborn & baby class. The atmosphere is great and it's lovely having a chat with Kirsten & the other mums over a cup of tea. There are plenty of sensory toys for him and the room itself is bright, fresh & clean. Really welcoming overall”
— Louise Giles
“My 18 month old daughter and I love this class. I love that each week it’s based on a different story theme. The location is great and the room is beautifully decorated. Lots of wooden engaging toys and play equipment are available for children to explore freely. There are lovely painting and craft opportunities too. Kirsten is very welcoming and interacts so nicely with all children and adults. It’s our favourite hour of the week. Highly recommend!”
— Rachael Kelly
“Lovely class, my son loved it, room was lovely and bright and calm with lots of great imagination bits and wooden toys for the little ones, Kirsten was so welcoming, and thought of great activities for the kids and left it up to them wether they wanted to join in or explore, I will definitely be back, my favourite class I’ve done with my fifteen month son so far”
— Sinead O’connor
“We had a brilliant time at Daisy and Dragon (age 11months) Kirsten's space is beautiful with sections for sensory and active play as well as a painting and drawing area and story corner so it's great no matter what mood your little one is in! There is a relaxed and joyful atmosphere in the stay and play sessions and she has really thought of every detail with hand painted murals on the walls and pegs for little coats as well as a private changing area. I'd definitely recommend and it was a lovely environment to meet other parents and have a chat too, a bright, open, friendly class “
— Ashley Smith
“Lovely class! Big clean room with lots of beautiful wooden toys. My kiddo was grumpy the day we went and wasn't really engaging much, but there was a great mix of planned activities and freedom to play. Definitely will go back!”
- Lonna Campbell
“Lovely space with a great selection of toys for free play and activities to take part in. Both my one year old and three year old enjoyed it.”
- Megan Smiley
“Kirsten’s studio is beautiful. Kirsten herself is so welcoming and down to earth, she made me feel at ease visiting her studio, often I feel overwhelmed going to classes with my girl, but the environment Kirsten has created is safe, happy and fun.”
- Kate Hughes
“Such a fab class! I’ve found it difficult to find a class that is suitable for bringing both my boys to (ages 4 and 1) this class is perfect because there’s so much to do for both their ages and the layout of the room means I can always be close/keep an eye on them both even when they’re doing different things! A really beautiful environment and lots to encourage play and exploration!”
— Christine Bryceland
“Excellent play session for my one year old. He really enjoyed the layout of the room with the toys and tent, and enjoyed interacting with the other kids. We will be back!”
— Adam Blaney
Daisy & Dragon classes are just fantastic! My 2 1/2 year old loves coming to Kirsten’s classes, especially for the bubbles at the end! I love the planned informality of the classes where my little boy has the freedom to do as much or as little as he wants, as opposed to traditional formal classes (that I know he wouldn’t sit for!) The playroom is both beautiful & beautifully set up and has a lovely range of wooden open-ended toys to choose from as well as interesting creative activities each week. As a primary teacher I know how much organisation must go into the planning, setting up (and tidying away) of all the activities which is all a credit to Kirsten. A fabulous class, highly recommended.
- Jennifer McConnell
“Amazing space, fun, educational & varied class with lots to do and free play. My little boy loves it!”
— Laura Brandie
“Absolutely brilliant classes! Nicely organized, full of great wooden toys which I loved”
— Anna Lacka
“We LOVED our first visit to Daisy & Dragon, the toddler class we attended was suitable for both of my children which can be hard to find elsewhere. My 18 month enjoyed exploring the toys and slide and my 4 year old loved the story & craft! It’s such a bright, clean, tidy, modern space and we were made to feel very welcome by Kirsten. I particularly liked how she spent some time with the children individually, remembering their names, this added such a personal touch! Can’t wait to return!”
— Kirsty Gunning
“Great toddler class, lovely room with plenty to do. My little girl loved story time and painting. A refreshing change from soft play venues. Kirsten was amazing with the kids. We would recommend and will definitely be back.”
— Karen Davis
“Lovely space, everything was nice and clean. My wee one is 11 months and loved exploring the book and teepee area. It was nice to meet other mums at the playgroup.”
— Ashleigh Stewart
“This class is the perfect mixture of imagination and creativity! Starting off with a story capital little ones imaginations, before being able to create their own masterpiece in the art area! What a fantastic idea, and for those who are more active than arty, the variety of toys available is amazing.”
— Ashley Robertson
“We had our first class with Daisy and Dragon and it was fantastic! I have twins and it’s not easy to go to classes/groups with two toddlers but this was ideal. It’s a contained safe room, loads of toys and activities to do. The boys absolutely loved it! We’ll definitely be back.”
— Angus Keehan Murray
““Amazing set up where the kids can play around with whatever takes their interest. Loads to do and the time passes so quickly because of how fun it is for the kids. Can't wait to come back.”
— Alan Paterson
“Had our toddler's birthday party here and it was a wonderful day! Beautiful room, so well equipped and set out. Lovely toys and resources for kids. Kirsten is a pleasure to interact with, she thought of everything we might forget like matches and knife to cut the cake! Kirsten's flexibility and understanding made experience second to none. Looking forward to coming back soon.”
— Barbara Kay
“I attended Daisy& Dragon with my almost 6 month old girl. It is a bright and big space, very welcoming and there are plenty of toys and activities for babies . Kirsten is a lovely and warm person and ensures everyone is having a great time (including offering us tea or coffee to go on!) It was a very nice atmosphere. I also love that the Baby Play Group is 2.5 hours long so it doesn't matter if you come late or need to leave early, there is still plenty of time to enjoy the class. I will definitely return!”
- Lorena Mihaita
“Fabulous kids classes, the decor is amazing, Kirsten is so talented! Something different from the usual toddler groups. It’s always a treat coming here. Easy to park at and the cafe downstairs is well worth a visit.”
