With multiple locations across Dublin, including Carrickmines, Dun Laoghaire, Dublin 2, Dundrum, Ballymount, Tallaght, Shankill, Cherrywood, and Hollywood Rath, we are here to provide a warm and nurturing environment where your child can grow, learn, and play.

Our Commitment to Your Child's Happiness

We focus on creating a joyful atmosphere that supports the happiness and development of every child. Our centers are designed to be child-friendly, featuring secure outdoor areas and a wide variety of toys that spark imagination and creativity.

Flexible Hours for Busy Families

We understand that life can be busy! That’s why we operate from 7:30 am to 6:30 pm, Monday to Friday. Please note that we take a break during festive seasons and public holidays to recharge and celebrate with our families.

Quality Care and Education

We offer full-time places only and proudly participate in the ECCE government scheme, which provides a free pre-school year for your little ones. Our highly qualified staff are trained in First Aid, HACCP, and Child Protection, ensuring that your child is in safe hands.

A Healthy and Happy Environment

We provide nutritious meals and snacks to keep those little tummies happy and energized! Plus, we supply baby wipes, cotton wool, and nappy bags, so you don’t have to worry about a thing.

Open Communication with Parents

At Once Upon a Time, we value open communication. We have an open-door policy and use a parent portal to keep you updated on your child’s adventures and milestones.

Registered and Trusted

Our centers are registered with HSE and TUSLA, and we are proud members of Early Childhood Ireland. You can trust that your child is receiving the best care and education possible.
