About This Service
This full day care service was established in 2005 to provide care and education to children aged between 0 and 6 years old. A registered school aged care service is also provided. The service operates Monday to Friday, 8am – 6.15pm for 51 weeks of the year. This includes a daily three-hour sessional service between 9am and 12pm for 38 weeks of the year. Places are funded under the early childhood care and education scheme (ECCE) for eligible children. The service is operated from the ground floor of a detached, two-storey building in the village of Ballina in north Tipperary. The service consists of six activity rooms, two of which have a partition wall which can be opened to create one large room. The partition was open on the day of inspection, and the large room was used by children attending the ECCE session. Three other rooms were used by the pre-school children: Baby room, Wobbler room and Playschool room. There was one room available for use by school aged children. Other facilities include the sleep room, sanitary accommodation areas, office, kitchen, staff room and outdoor play area. This is a sister service to Little Owls Naionra, also located in Ballina.
