Toddlers’ Area:[Children aged 1.5 years +] In this space the children have plenty of room for independent play. The curriculum adheres to the key principles of Aistear and Siolta. Each week is structured around a learning theme that is incorporated into our morning and evening activities, such as story time and sing-songs, messy play, and arts and crafts. A large variety of toys encourage your child to use their imagination while learning through play. We promote sharing, friendship, good manners, helping each other, problem solving and other social skills. A day in our Toddler Room features structured and free play, along with fun challenges designed to develop little minds, and set meal times and rest periods. Story-telling and circle time encourage the development of your child’s linguistic skills, with dancing, role-play, table-top activities and much more to keep young children stimulated. Our quiet time and reading corner allows the children to wind down and relax whenever they need it!

Outdoor Area :We have our own outdoor play area to make sure your little one doesn’t miss out on the benefits of sunshine and fresh air. This sheltered outdoor area is accessible directly from our creche. We also have access to a large green area across the road from our creche where we spend the majority of summer days! Indoor Hall :The indoor sports hall allows us to play inside and burn off energy all year round, regardless of the weather. The hall creates opportunities for ride on toys, slides, parachute games, small and large group work, running, ball play, yoga, dancing and the critical development of fine and gross motor skills. |
