Attendance

Little Angels is open Monday to Friday. Children can attend either  Tuesday and Thurdays or Monday Wednesday and Fridays.

We start at 9am, please do not drop your child off before this, as we need time to set up the room.  Children can be collected between 11.50 and 12 noon.

Classes/Groups

Classes are split between two groups with a maximum of 8 children per morning.

On a Tuesday and Thursday we have the younger children. Ages range between 16-30 months with 3 staff in attendance. The older group is held on a Monday Wednesday and Friday. Ages range between 2 years old to 3 years and over.

A child's age does not always reflect which class he or she attends. For example, a child in a family with older siblings can often bounce into the older group from an early age.

Clothing

Weather permitting we will try to be outside for some of the session, and with this in mind please ensure that your child has suitable clothing. (Coat, gloves, hats, shoes/boots) For inside a pair of slippers/socks should be provided.  We would also like each child to attend with a spare set of clothing, just in case.

Emergencies

If a minor accident should occur such as a scratch or small cut we will administer first aid and advise you of this when you pick your child up.  In case of emergency we will immediately contact the parent and medical help if it is necessary.  It is therefore important that we always have the correct contact number.

Fees

To register your child at Little Angels fill in the enclosed registration form and return it.  A registration fee of €100 is required when a start date has been agreed (€50 will be refunded on start date).

Each morning session costs 24€. The fees must be paid monthly and are payable on the first session of that month. If a legal holiday falls on your child's normal attendance day or the playgroup is closed for any reason, then the fee won't be payable for that session.  All other normal sessions must be paid for whether your child attends or not.

Forms

... are available here

Illness

We would ask that your child does not attend Little Angels if he/she has a fever, diarrhoea, or influenza, has been vomiting, or has any unidentified rashes.  To reduce the spread of illnesses your child should be symptom free for 24hrs before returning to playgroup.

Leaving Little Angels Playgroup

Please note that we require one month's notice when removing your child from the playgroup.  This is so that we have sufficient time to re-allocate your child's place.

Parking

Registration

Just contact us.  You will need to fill in a registration form, an emergency consent form and a liability waiver form.  These are all available here.

Snack time

All food and drink, at this highly socialable time, is provided by Little Angels. We aim to supply a small balanced snack which is part healthy but also exciting to eat! We do NOT serve chocolates or sweets. However at Birthday times parents will bring in cakes or cake which can contain chocolate. We are a nut free playgroup at all times!

The children can drink water or 100% diluted apple juice. Table manners are observed at all times whilst encouraging free talking between the children and staff.

Supervision

We plan to have one carer for every four children.  Occasionally we may require a stand-in carer due to illness.

What do I need to bring ?

We ask all parents to provide a small bag with a change of clothes (in case of accidents!) some slippers and nappies where applicable.

In winter please ensure that a warm coat and shoes or boots are worn incase we venture out.

What happens if I start Potty Training ?

Most parents decide to potty train around 2 and a half years old. We are happy to help. All staff have their own children and can understand the frustrations that we go through!
