PARKSIDE CHILDCARE LIMITED

Parkside Childcare Limited is a long‑standing pre‑school and crèche serving families in Rathfarnham and the wider South Dublin area since 1994. The centre provides high‑quality early years provision for children of all ages, offering both full‑time and part‑time places, including slots funded through the Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) scheme. Their “Empowering Play” curriculum, built on the Aistear Framework, delivers play‑based learning that nurtures well‑being, identity, communication and exploration, while fostering independence, confidence and social skills.

The facility boasts secure, age‑appropriate classrooms, two spacious all‑weather gardens and an on‑site kitchen that prepares fresh, nutritionally balanced meals under the guidance of an in‑house nutritionist. All meals are cooked in a HSE‑ and HACCP‑compliant kitchen, with low salt and sugar, no processed sauces and full accommodation for dietary needs and allergies. A dedicated team of qualified early years educators—many of whom have been with Parkside for years—ensures a stable, caring environment that families can trust as a true “home from home.”
