Introduction

Fairyland Creche has been in operation since 2002 in its present purpose built 4,000 sq feet premises at its convenient location at Frenchpark, Oranmore, Co. Galway – just off the Dublin Roundabout.

About Us

We provide a range of facilities and programmes to meet the needs of different age groups.

• For all your “Little Pixies” aged 3 months to 5 years we offer a full day care service which includes breakfasts, mid-morning snacks, a hot dinner, mid-afternoon snacks and a high tea.
• For all your “Wee Folk” aged 5 to 11 years we offer a breakfast club with drop off to local schools, collection from schools, a hot dinner, supervised homework and a mid-afternoon snack.

The owners are Charles & Maria Powell who continue to have an active role in the day to day and overall management of the school. Maria has a nursing background and has operated Fairyland Creche, Playgroup and Montessori school for the past 25 years. They originally opened Fairyland Playgroup in Mullingar, Co. Westmeath in 1986 and re-located to Oranmore and opened Fairyland Creche & Montessori school in 1996. In 2002 they moved to their purpose built 4,000 sq feet premises in its extremely convenient location.

Joining the Management Team this year is their daughter Keira Hanney who has a Level 6 qualification in Management & Supervision in Childcare and who will help to deliver the E.C.C.E.

• Free Pre-School Year to children who are eligible for this scheme which was introduced by the Office of the Minister for Children & Youth Affairs in January 2010.

Fairyland Creche offers a safe, secure, happy and comfortable environment with facilities which are stimulating, child age appropriate and suitable to the needs and capabilities of the child in collaboration with happy, friendly staff who are appropriately qualified and experienced and work in partnership with parents and take account of the holistic development of the child.

Fairyland Creche operates an “Open Door” policy which means that all parents are welcomed into Fairyland each morning and are encouraged to settle their children in and also to ease the children home in the evening. All parents are welcome to drop into Fairyland at any time to visit their children and are given personal feedback at the end of each day.

We encourage parents to get involved in the special occasions and events when possible and encourage suggestions on improving our service and policy changes.

We are confident that your “little Fairies & Pixies” will find their wings and learn to fly in the magical kingdom of Fairyland!
