Toddle In

Toddle In is the on‑site creche and Montessori provision attached to Hedgestown National School, a brand‑new educational complex situated between Lusk and Balbriggan. The centre benefits from the school’s state‑of‑the‑art facilities, including a purpose‑built PE hall, a basketball court, a sensory garden and a well‑stocked library, providing a stimulating environment for young children to explore and develop. The setting is designed to support early learning through both play‑based activities and the Montessori method, encouraging independence, curiosity and a love of discovery. The creche caters for babies, toddlers and preschool‑age children, offering a safe, nurturing space that aligns with the school’s broader ethos of active participation, environmental awareness and community involvement. Children experience a range of enrichment activities such as music, movement, and outdoor play, while staff follow a child‑centred approach that promotes holistic development across cognitive, social and physical domains.
