Opened in September 2007,Kells Community Childcare Centre is a modern,custom built friendly facility catering for children from 4months to preschool age. The Childcare Centre was Funded by the Irish Government and part funded by the European Union Structural Funds under the National Developmant Plan 2000-2006.

The Centre also offers an after school service for children attending local primary school.

The Centre also facilitates the ECCE scheme ("free pre-school year") offered by the Office for the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs.

The aim of the Centre is to provide the highest quality of childcare to the families in the Community. It  applies this ethos to everything it does, from its buildings to its people, its early learning programmes to its nutritional menus. Everything at the Centre is designed to provide the best possible care for your child in a safe and loving environment.

The Centre constantly re-evaluates its services to make sure it offers parents and children a standard of childcare that gives you the comfort of knowing that there are policies and procedures in place to protect your child while they are in its care.

But most importantly, this professionalism comes with a caring approach that ensures a warm, loving environment, where children are treated with respect and are valued as individuals as they are helped on their journey of growing,playing and life-long learning.

The Centres aim for your child is also a simple one-that they will be happy in our care.
