Frequently Ask Questions

Can parents stay during the settling-in period?

To help children settle more easily, we encourage parents to gradually introduce them to the childcare environment. Children may initially attend for short periods, such as 30 minutes, then gradually increase to one hour, two hours, and longer as they become more comfortable. This approach helps children build trust with their carers, become familiar with their surroundings, and develop confidence and independence in their new environment.

What should I bring on my child's first day of childcare?

To help your child have a comfortable and enjoyable first day, please bring:

A change of clothes
Nappies, wipes, and nappy cream (if applicable)
A labelled water bottle
Formula milk, bottles, or special dietary items (if required)
A comfort item such as a favourite blanket or soft toy (optional)

Please ensure that all personal belongings are clearly labelled with your child’s name.

Can parents visit the centre before enrolling their child?

Yes, we encourage parents to visit the centre, meet our team, and explore our facilities before making a decision.

Do you offer a drop-off childcare service?

Yes, we offer a flexible drop-off service for parents who require occasional childcare. Rates are €5.00 per hour for children attending more than 100 hours per month and €5.50 per hour for children attending 100 hours or less per month.

How do you communicate with parents throughout the day?

We communicate with parents through an app, where they can receive updates on their child's day, including meals, naps, activities, learning experiences, and any important information from our team.

What happens if my child becomes unwell during the day?

If your child becomes unwell, we will contact you immediately and follow our health and safety procedures to ensure your child's wellbeing.
