Further Information

All staff members are qualified within a specific area of childcare and have their certificates displayed. Each room has a member of staff trained in Paediatric First Aid. The staff at Little Maples Crèche & Pre-School will continuously work to create an atmosphere that is relaxed and informal, hence providing a “second home” for your child. We will guide and nurture your child every step of the way.

The Montessori and High Scope method of care and education are the ethos behind the running of Little Maples Crèche & Pre-School. The universal characteristics of the child are used to promote and aid the child’s well being. Our Crèches have recently adopted the methods of ‘High scope’, an American pre-school method of teaching and caring for children, thus giving your child the best possible start in their pre-school years.

The needs of parents and guardians are always taken into consideration. We do our utmost to accommodate parental wishes. We encourage all parents to get involved in the activities of the Crèche and welcome any suggestions or ideas that you may have. Two-way communication is an important part of Little Maples philosophy.

Our health and safety document is displayed on the premises and copies may be obtained if required. Insurance and fire maintenance certificates are also on display in the hallway.

Little Maples Crèche & Pre-School is approved by the National Children’s Nursery Association [NCNA], the Eastern Health Board and the Department of Environmental Health. Annual inspections are carried out to ensure a high level of care and education is maintained at all times.
