Further Information

Bellevue Crèche and Playgroup was established in 1997 by Jennifer Cullen and has provided a top-class early years educational service to the Rathdrum area ever since.

Jennifer has over 30 years experience working with children and understands the importance of early experiences and care for children. Working in partnership with children and their families is a core value of this service.

We are dedicated to providing a warm, caring and secure environment in which children feel free to explore and grow in their development. In order to provide this, there is a team of highly qualified childcare professionals with qualifications ranging from Fetac Level 5 up to Degree level in Early Childhood Education and Care, with a passion and love for working with young children. They understand young children’s developmental needs and provide appropriate interactions and learning opportunities. Crèche, Pre-school, and After-school care is provided for children of ages 6 months to 12 years old. We adhere to the guidelines and principles of the National Quality Framework Síolta and the Curriculum Framework Aistear.

The indoor learning areas are set at the children’s level with small furniture and materials within their reach encouraging independence in their learning. Play areas such as a kitchen area, work-bench, dressing-up area, painting easel, low sink for water play and a sand-pit are provided to facilitate children in reaching their full potential. An area for relaxation and book-reading is available to children at all times.

The outdoor play area provides a vast array of materials to encourage young children’s development such as houses, climbing frames, slides, bikes and cars. There is a small flower garden and a mud kitchen for exploratory messy play. Sand and water play areas are also provided outside.

We are available to take your call at any time of the day, so why not arrange a time to call in and see what we do. We would be delighted to show you around!
