About Us

Cre8ive Corner Crèche opened its doors in 2013 with just two children and has grown to cater for all age groups, from wobblers to after-school. Since then, Cre8ive Corner Creche has gone from strength to strength and in 2023 opened its second childcare facility, a few minutes away in Farmhill Manor.

Both crèches are open year-round from 8AM – 6PM, Monday to Friday, with a short closure over the Christmas period - this period will align with the school year calendar.

Cre8ive Corner Crèche Brooklawn is Sligo’s only Q-Mark accredited crèche, an achievement we are very proud of.

 

 

Staff

The key to our success at Cre8ive Corner Crèche is our warm, caring, and highly-qualified staff. Supportive and encouraging caregivers provide your children with appropriate interaction and intervention and ensure their experience is always positive.

"The effectiveness of an early years programme is determined by the skills, attitudes and commitment of the adults involved. Adults play a key role in determining the quality of the experience of the children.”

- Donohoe & Gaynor (2003)
