About

Naomi's Creche

Naomi’s Creche was founded in 1999. We have been located in Sli Gheal, Knocknacarra since 2004. We are a purpose built creche on ground level with spacious rooms and an adjacent garden area. To ensure the safety of all children and Early Years Practitioners, each room is installed with security cameras. We create a warm cosy facility for children, Early Years Practitioners and parents .

Friendly

Environment

Our main entrance door is operated by an intercom doorbell. The reception area displays our visitor book which is part of our procedure set out in the early years regulations. We require all persons entering or exiting Naomi’s Creche to sign in and out of the visitor’s book.

Montessori/ECCE Scheme

Montessori/ECCE Scheme is a child centred approach. The children develop independence through choices in their own learning. This allows them to reach their full potential by working at their own pace.

Playroom Area

The Playroom area consists of activities that are child lead which are individual or group-based play. This approach develops their own skills to enhance their identity and build positive relationships.

TinyTots

TinyTots focus is working in partnership with Families which is in the best interest for the development of the child.

Garden Area

The garden area is situated to the rear of the building with a non-slip, safe surface accompanied with grass area and outdoor equipment to enhance children’s physical development.
