Saran Wood Creche and Montessori School

Saran Wood Creche, located in Bray, provides part‑time childcare for children aged 18 months to 5 years, operating Monday‑Friday with flexible sessions from 8 am to 2 pm. Two main part‑time slots are offered – 8 am‑1 pm and 9 am‑2 pm – each available across 48 weeks of the year, allowing families to choose a schedule that best fits their routine. The centre participates in the National Childcare Scheme (NCS) and the Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) free‑preschool scheme. Eligible children (aged 2 months and 9 months to 5 years) can attend a dedicated ECCE session from 9.15 am to 12.15 pm during the 38‑week school term, with automatic placement for those already in the pre‑ECCE room and the option of additional hours. This provision supports early learning and socialisation in a nurturing environment, reflecting the Montessori ethos suggested by the centre’s name. While the primary focus is on part‑time provision, Saran Wood Creche offers extra hours for ECCE participants and adheres to national quality standards. Parents can contact the centre by phone or email for further information and to arrange enrolment.
