Natural Start

Natural Start is a sessional early years service in Donabate, Co. Dublin, running each weekday for 38 weeks of the year, closing during school holidays. It takes children aged 2½ to 6 years on a sessional basis, with up to 22 places available. The ECCE programme runs from 09:15 to 12:15 daily, with an optional 30-minute extension to 12:45 for an additional fee. The service is set on a spacious site in a rural location and operates mainly outdoors. A purpose-built pre-school room attached to the provider's private residence is used when weather requires it.
