Flower Childcare Clonskeagh

Flower Early Learning Centre is a family‑operated childcare facility located in Clonskeagh, Dublin 14. The centre aims to provide an intimate “home‑away‑from‑home” atmosphere where children feel safe, secure and nurtured. Its philosophy is built on respectful, reciprocal relationships with each child and their families, encouraging parental involvement through an open‑door policy that allows parents to visit at any time to observe activities and discuss progress. The centre offers a range of early years programmes, including the free Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) preschool hours for children aged three and above, as part of a national initiative expanded in September 2016. In addition, Flower Childcare participates in the Community Childcare Subvention (CCS) scheme and the Training Employment Childcare (TEC) programmes, providing subsidised childcare options for eligible families. The facility is described as a secure, nurturing environment with qualified and stable staff dedicated to high‑quality care and education. Key features highlighted include a focus on curriculum development across four main areas, a commitment to high standards verified by a Department of Education and Skills inspection, and a range of nutrition and activity provisions designed to support children’s holistic development.
