DUBLIN 12 CHILDCARE CONSORTIUM COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE

Crumlin Childcare Centre, operated by the Dublin 12 Childcare Consortium Company Limited by Guarantee, is a charitable early-years provider dedicated to creating a safe, child-centred environment where youngsters can explore, play and develop at their own pace. Drawing on the Aistear play-based curriculum, the centre encourages messy play, outdoor discovery, music, story-time and creative activities such as painting and baking, helping each child's unique imagination blossom.

The centre offers three age-specific rooms: Happy Feet for babies and wobblers (4 months-1 year) with a 1:3 staff-to-child ratio, Nemo for toddlers (1-2 years) at 1:5, and Toy Story for pre-schoolers (2-3 years and 3-school-age) at 1:6. Full-day and part-time sessions run from 8 am to 6 pm, and children receive nutritious snacks and a hot meal each day. All practitioners hold at least a FETAC Level 5 qualification, with many progressing to Level 6, ensuring a high-quality, supportive service for families in Crumlin and the wider Dublin community.
