Childcare & Early Years Nursery South Dublin with ECCE and Afterschool using HighScope

Cosy Comfort, Gentle Care; our lion-heart is all your child needs

Narnia Nursery was founded in 1990 by our Director Niamh Leeney when she could not find a suitable day care service for her own youngest daughter in Dublin. The service has grown from those first few children to a vibrant multi-site service without ever compromising on quality. Niamh is a fully qualified Froebel teacher, with a B.A. degree in languages and is also trained in HighScope Ireland. She still works closely with the management and team leaders to ensure Narnia delivers a service second to none in South County Dublin. Now, as then, our aim remains the same - "Cosy comfort, gentle care". We provide a gentle, caring, home-from-home atmosphere and environment where all children can be encouraged to thrive.
