Shournagh Childcare: Nurturing Tomorrow’s Brightest Minds for Over 25 Years

Welcome to Shournagh Childcare, where the heart of Blarney’s community pulses with the laughter and growth of its youngest members. As a cornerstone of local childcare, our Irish-owned and operated centre embodies a nurturing ethos that mirrors the parental care we all cherish.

Our Philosophy:

For a quarter of a century, we’ve embraced the principle that every child deserves the same love and attention we would want for our own. This belief is woven into the fabric of our care, upheld by stringent policies and procedures designed to safeguard your little ones during their time with us. We appreciate that the transition from home to creche can stir a mix of emotions, so our compassionate team dedicates itself to easing this journey, offering support and guidance every step of the way.

Our Promise:

At Shournagh Childcare, your child’s early experiences are shaped by our exceptional team — professionals who are not only highly qualified but also committed to continuous growth through ongoing training and career development opportunities. Our rigorous recruitment process ensures that only the most capable and caring individuals join our family, each one bringing dedicated childcare qualifications and a shared passion for fostering professional excellence.

Our Curriculum:

Our approach is child-centred and play-based, reflecting the core principles of Aistear and Siolta. We champion fun as the driving force behind meaningful learning, where social, emotional, and physical development unfolds naturally through joyful exploration. Our team thrives on the children’s boundless enthusiasm and eagerness to discover the world, ensuring that every day is a delightful journey of curiosity and learning.

With state-of-the-art resources tailored to each age group, our rooms are more than just spaces — they are vibrant learning environments where your child can flourish under the guidance of devoted educators. At Shournagh Childcare, we’re not just caring for children; we’re raising confident, happy, and healthy individuals poised to make a positive impact on the world.
