Childcare Lucan
Giraffe Childcare Lucan is situated in the heart of a residential area and is a purpose-designed crèche located beside Ben Dunne’s Gym at Ballyowen Lane. The centre is en route from Lucan, Clondalkin, Palmerstown and Inchicore.
Our crèche has 7 spacious rooms, all brightly decorated and arranged to offer each child the chance to explore and investigate their environment with lots of opportunities to enjoy messy play and art activities. Our environment is arranged to offer each child the chance to explore and investigate their environment, supporting their natural curiosity and love of learning. We offer a broad curriculum underpinned by Aistear and Siolta frameworks encouraging children to learn the skills that they need to develop to become confident, happy learners.
We care for babies and children up to 5 years with both full, part-time and ECCE places available. We also provide a vibrant afterschool service, providing after-school care for children up to the age of 12 years with drop-off and collection arrangements with 5 local schools. We are open Monday-Friday, all year round with the exception of public holidays. All our staff are Garda vetted, fully qualified and attend regular training. Why not give us a call on (01) 254 1345 and we will be happy to answer any questions you may have.

I cannot thank you enough for making Callum’s time in Giraffe so enjoyable. He has wonderful memories and he has learned a lot. He has been very happy at Giraffe and he is confident to start school in September.
