Naionra Glanmire

Providing Early Years Education and Care through the medium of Irish

Naíonra Toddle Inn was established in 2000, under the directorship of Kelda Browne B.A. (Hons) ECCE (Early Childhood Care & Education). Naíonra Toddle Inn provides Early Years Education and Care through the medium of Irish, in a welcoming, happy, safe, and friendly environment. Our service has grown from humble beginnings to a custom-built building and now with the addition of two new bright and spacious classrooms located in Gaelscoil Uí Drisceoil. Naíonra Toddle Inn facilitates the holistic development of each child through Montessori and play experiences, in the care of highly qualified and experienced staff, where the child can learn Gaeilge naturally. Our team structures the environment to ensure that all facets of the child’s holistic development are catered for.

The children are given the opportunity to acquire Irish naturally through the medium of play, the prime method of learning for this particular age group.

In our classrooms we encourage children to explore, experiment, and interact with the environment, to challenge and stimulate their learning thus helping them to reach their full potential. We encourage small and large group activities as well as independent play.

Toddle Inn is second to none, Kelda runs a professional and caring where every child is nurtured and made feel special, its very obvious that the teachers are child-centered and each child’s interests are explored, Toddle Inn really is the best start you could give your child – Ed & Denise

Our daughter skips to school daily and is developing leaps and bounds every day. She loves her teachers & friends so much so we play pretend school at home every day! The interactive communication between school and parents is excellent and I couldn’t recommend them highly enough. – Niamh Buckley

Each and every staff member are kinder and more considerate than the next. The children are at the core of everything that happens at Toddle Inn. The respect shown to the children is reflected in how they respect each other. Our child has learned so much science, handwriting, and the importance of reading.- Emma Buckley
