Our Noticeboard is your one-stop hub for all the latest updates and essential information about life at our nursery. Here, families can stay connected and informed about what’s happening day to day. Whether you’re a new parent or a long-time member of our nursery family, the Bulletin Board helps you stay informed and connected to our community.
Road Safety
We would kindly ask all our families to arrive to the nursery safely and leave the nursery safely. The new road outside means we all need to be aware of the passing cars outside. Can you please:
- Hold your child’s hands arriving in and leaving the nursery.
- Do not let your child run out of nursery in front of you.
- Use the traffic lights to cross the road safely.
- Please do not park on the pavements outside the nursery.
- Do not park on the road as this is causing the road to be blocked and is dangerous.
- Please park in the spaces provided on the road.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Family Meetings
In January your child’s keyworker will organise a meeting with all our parents to talk with you about your child’s year and progress. Family meetings are an opportunity to sit with your child’s keyworker and share information about your child’s progress and development.
Photographs
This year Our Nursery will take your child’s picture and print them. Please check in with your room for more details.

TOY (Together Old and Young)
You may have heard your children talking about visiting St. Pappin’s Nursing Home and Marewood Court. The nursery has begun visits, and we plan to do this on a continuous basis so the children and old people can build up relationships and plan activities together. We also link with the Ballymun comp school, with a group of teenagers who visit the nursery for a few week. The two groups complete a project based on their interests.
The TOY project was initiated and is promoted by International Child Development Initiatives. The purpose of the TOY Programme is to promote intergenerational learning and create new possibilities for senior citizens and young children to learn together and benefit from each other’s company. We believe that this is more important than ever before across the world. People are living longer but older adults and young children are having less and less contact with each other.
