Ethos & Mission

At Lilliput Childcare Rathdrum County Wicklow, we believe that a child’s early formative years are paramount to their grounding therefore we give them every opportunity to grow in a safe secure environment designed to enhance their development. As carers at Lilliput Childcare Rathdrum, we strive to provide the highest quality care on a consistent basis. Our Lilliput Childcare Rathdrum Crèche is wholly dedicated to children and so is kept safe, clean and secure. Children and their needs take precedence.

Our facilities and programmes include the following:-

baby room

At our brand new state of the art crèche facility in Rathdrum, we have a warm and welcoming nursery unit in a close and safe environment. There are plenty of interesting and stimulating toys. The staffs are gentle, caring and qualified. We provide daily progress reports to keep you fully informed on your baby’s day. Babies bottles are supplied by us and are made up in the kitchen (parents provide milk formula, nappies, wipes, sudocream or equivalent). The cot room is in an adjoining room to the day room, equipped with cosy cots and a monitoring system and has a finger print system on the door for extra security.

Twinklers

At our crèche facility in Rathdrum, we have developed a Twinkler room which is suited to the crawling and furniture walking age group. It provides fun activities with plenty of stimulation which encourages and aids development. There are areas for reading, a home corner, dress up play and sand and water play. This room is run by energetic, qualified staff. It has an adjacent cosy cot room for sleeping.

Toddler Room

This is a wonderfully bright room at our Rathdrum crèche facility, run by qualified playgroup staff, using a large selection of educational toys. There is a wide range of structured activities which are carried on every morning. These enable the child to become familiar with basic co-ordination skills. It is a Pre-Montessori group where by all areas of development are incorporated, e.g., threading, pegboards, painting, sand & water play, singing, music and dance. The nappy changing area is separate from the playroom.

Montessori Classroom 1:8 3-5 Years

Lilliput Childcare Rathdrum is run by qualified Montessori teachers in a child-centred classroom environment. The aim of Montessori teaching is to develop the individual personality of the child, social and personal. It also facilitates a smooth transition to primary school. The equipment and specially designed exercises develop the child’s growth and helps to strengthen all areas of his or her personality. Daily news time for topical discussions and a basic introduction to foreign language are part of an average day. Activities include water play, singing, music, dance and baking. By working closely with the outreach programme over the years, we are able to facilitate special needs children in our classroom. From our crèche in Rathdrum, we take our children on excursions to local amenities such as the fire station, the zoo and local farms.
