Step by Step

Step by Step Creche & Montessori is a purpose‑built childcare centre located in Irishtown, Mullingar, Co. Westmeath. Established in 2003, the centre provides a safe and stimulating environment for children from infancy through to school‑age. The facility incorporates a Montessori approach, encouraging independent learning and hands‑on exploration, while also meeting the statutory requirements of Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE). The centre’s layout is designed to cater for the different developmental stages, offering dedicated spaces for babies, toddlers and pre‑school children. In addition to full‑time and part‑time creche provision, Step by Step offers a collection service for older children attending local schools, effectively providing an after‑school care option. Parents can therefore rely on a seamless transition from school to home. The centre’s commitment to quality care is reflected in its range of services, which include baby care, toddler care, preschool programmes and Montessori‑based learning, all delivered within a nurturing and supportive setting.
