Sticky Fingers Early Years Service

Sticky Fingers Early Years Service, established in 1987, provides high‑quality and affordable early years education and care in the town of Newcastle, Co Dublin. The centre is dedicated to the nurture and well‑being of children from 12 months up to 12 years, offering a structured Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) programme that supports each child’s developmental milestones. Emphasis is placed on a caring environment where skilled staff guide children through each stage of growth, fostering both independence and social skills. The facility is divided into several specialised rooms to meet the varied needs of its pupils. A Toddler Room accommodates up to nine children, a Playroom offers a vibrant early‑years setting, and a Montessori Room serves up to 16 children with a child‑led, hands‑on learning approach. For school‑aged children, a dedicated after‑school service provides care for up to 20 children, including a Breakfast Club (7.30 am‑9.10 am) and an Afterschool Club (1.15 pm‑6 pm). Nutrition is taken seriously, with healthy snacks and meals supplied by Early Days Food. Opening hours run from 7.30 am to 6 pm for full‑time care, with part‑time options available from 1 pm to 6 pm.
