Pick up Service

From September 2006, we offer a pick up service for Nursery School children and provide afternoon care;

By January 2007, we will also offer a school pick-up service for Primary School children (Primary 1 through to Primary 7), subject to availability. Your child will be brought to Aisling and given the freedom and opportunity to relax and unwind after a busy day at school. Our staff will be available to assist with homework and offer a wide range of suitable activities.
We offer a full daycare service when schools are closed at your request.

Nutrition

Aisling Daycare provides a varied and healthy menu - mealtimes are a social occasion, where your child will be encouraged rather than forced to eat. Healthy Eating and Table Manners are promoted at all times.

A healthy breakfast will be served between 7:30am and 8:30am. Your child will also be offered morning snack, a nutritious and substantial home-cooked meal and afternoon snack. Water will be available routinely throughout the course of the day.

Our meat and fresh fruit & vegetables are delivered daily from our local suppliers.

Our cook is trained in essential food hygiene and is highly experienced in the catering field.

Irish Language

We are creating a unique environment by promoting the Irish Language through conversation, stories, songs and rhymes that will enable our children to become aware of their own identity and gain a valuable insight into our own culture. Our Language Advisor is on hand to offer additional support and advice.
