For children 3-4 years from 9am until 1pm it is now €65 per week.

For children 5-9 years from 9am until 2pm it is €75 per week.

The activities for children will include baking, arts and crafts, messy play, indoor and outdoor games and also some day trips.

Reminders

    Reminder for all parents, especially for those who have children leaving for school in September, a month’s written notice is required when informing us that your child will not be returning to the centre in order to receive the full deposit you paid when you started your child with us. Thank You!

 

Can you please ensure that your child has a sun hat and cream, please make sure these are clearly labelled. The Irish weather is very unpredictable so we need to be prepared in case Mr. Sun decides to appear J

 

Can all parents please ensure that all children have a spare change of clothes with them each day or kept in the crèche in case of an accident. 

 

If any parents would like to come in and talk to us at any stage of the day please feel free to do so, our door is always open! J

Summer Camp

We are delighted to announce our annual summer camp programme for the months of July and August. The camp will provide numerous indoor and outdoor activities.  Some activities include cooking, arts and crafts, music and dance, obstacle courses, treasure hunts, sports days and many more fun activities. The camp will be divided up into two groups:

 

3-4 years

9.00 am to 1.00 pm

€75 per week/€275 per month

Toys in Creche

We would like to remind parents that children are not allowed to bring in their own toys unless it is agreed with your child’s teacher. We have noticed that toys and games are being brought in quite frequently. Unfortunately we cannot be responsible if a toy is lost or broken. This is something that can and does happen. We will be happy to arrange days for show and tell to allow children to bring in one special toy from time to time.

Easter Hunt

The children enjoyed the Easter Hunt and were

delighted to find one.

Topic of the month

A simple recipe for the children: Pasta Carbonara

Ingredients:

• Onions (2 medium),
• mushrooms (1 pack)
• bacon
• 1 large or 2 small eggs
• 1/2 carton cream (I've cheated before and used milk/cream)
• pasta

Directions:

• Fry off your onions till they are nice and brown, put them into an oven proof casserole/pyrex dish and keep it warm in the oven.
• Fry the chopped bacon and then the mushrooms put each ingredient into your casserole dish as its cooked keeping the juices in the pan. (If you are pushed for time, you could cook the bacon under the grill while you are frying off the onions and mushrooms).
• Turn the heat under the pan down low, add your cream, egg and some black pepper. Keep whisking and keep the heat low (if you have electricity, you might want to swap to another ring) till the mixture is heated through.
• Drain your cooked pasta, add it to your casserole dish and pour your sauce over, give everything a good stir and serve!
