Crèche

A Nurturing Start to Lifelong Learning

At Sharavogue Crèche, we provide a warm, loving, and stimulating environment where your child can thrive. Catering to children aged 6 months to 2.5 years, our crèche is open from 7.45am to 6.30pm, offering full-day care designed to support busy families and young learners alike.

We focus on creating strong emotional bonds with each child, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and valued. Every aspect of our service is designed to meet the developmental, nutritional, and emotional needs of your child.

All-Inclusive Care for Busy Families

We understand the demands of modern parenting. That’s why Sharavogue Crèche offers a fully inclusive care experience:

  • Freshly prepared bottles during the day in Sharavogue
  • All nappies included throughout the day
  • Nutritious meals cooked daily by our in-house chefs
  • Weaning-friendly menus tailored to growing needs

 

Parents can rest assured knowing their child’s essential needs are completely taken care of while they’re in our care.

Aistear and Siolta

At Sharavogue Crèche, we use the Aistear Curriculum and Siolta Frameworks as a guide in planning learning experiences for the children. Aistear is the Irish word for journey. This allows us to document each childs unique journey throughout their time in Sharavogue.

Aistear embraces learning and development through four interconnected themes; Well-being, identity and belonging, communicating and exploring and thinking.

Siolta is the National Quality Framework for Early Childhood Education. Siolta offers Principles, Standards, Components of Quality and Signposts for Reflection for childcare providers and aims to support engagement with this National Quality Framework.

Large outdoor areas with play equipment

We are fortunate to have plenty of outdoor space in a leafy environment providing a perfect outdoor setting for the children.

We have a number of dedicated age-appropriate areas with outdoor toys and equipment, including a covered area for the babies.

We encourage daily outdoor play for all children from the baby room onwards, weather permitting. This encourages positive growth and development of your child through opportunities to explore and play.

We follow and often exceed Tusla’s recommended child to staff ratios, creating a calm, safe, and supportive environment where children receive the attention they need to thrive. Smaller group sizes allow our team to respond thoughtfully to each child, supporting individual routines, learning styles, and emotional wellbeing.

This approach means more one on one interaction, calmer rooms, and a safer, more settled experience for every child throughout the day. It also allows staff to build strong, trusting relationships with children, helping them feel secure and confident.

Our team members are highly qualified, passionate about early years education, and deeply committed to maintaining the highest standards of care for every child in our setting.
