Once Upon A Time Nursery & Montessori Schools

At Once Upon A Time Nursery and Montessori School we believe in the uniqueness and individuality of each child. Throughout the duration of a child’s attendance at Once Upon A Time, our concern is for their happiness as well as for their physical, emotional and cognitive development. We encourage children to develop their social skills and independence by providing a structured, safe and nurturing environment. In many other childcare facilities parents are not permitted past the waiting area, but at Once Upon A Time we like parents to see their child's environment on the daily basis and therefore operate an open door policy throughout the day. In comparison to many other childcare facilities we are still very homely and small, consequently all our staff get to know each individual child, their parents, and often even extended family members and friends which leads to a friendly, personable environment in which to leave your child. We recognise that each child brings their own special ability to the group, and we seek to encourage recognition and acceptance for all. As members of Early Childhood Ireland we are committed to setting the highest standards in quality childcare provision. We realise that our staff are our greatest resource and are committed to recruiting the best staff possible we identify potential within our staff members and nurture their career development. We are very focused on training, educational and management development.
