Stepping Stones Creche & Montessori

Stepping Stones Creche & Montessori is a purpose‑built early years centre situated at 30 Belfry Crescent, Citywest, Dublin 24. The modern building is set on a quiet corner of the Belfry Estate and includes a large, securely enclosed private garden, providing a safe and stimulating outdoor space for children. The centre is easily accessed from both the Blessington Road and Naas Road within the Citywest Business Park, making it convenient for families in the surrounding area. The facility caters for children from 2 years 8 months up to 5 years 6 months, offering a blend of Montessori philosophy and the Irish early childhood framework Aistear. Dedicated ECCE rooms support this curriculum, while a specialised Sensory Room encourages interactive play, problem‑solving and fine‑motor development through activities such as jigsaws and sorting tasks. The centre is approved by the South Eastern Health Board and the Department of Environmental Health and holds membership of the National Childcare Nursery Association (NCNA). Staff are fully Garda‑vetted and hold qualifications ranging from Level 5 to Level 8, with a proportion trained in the LINC inclusion programme and paediatric first aid. Emphasis is placed on safety, security and two‑way communication with parents, ensuring that registration details, medical information and authorised pick‑up arrangements are meticulously maintained.
