The Nursery implements and provides early years education and care outlined in the national frameworks Síolta, Aistear and Child Care Act 1991 (Early Years Services) Regulations 2016. For each group, based on age, the key workers create and develop a curriculum that stimulates and fosters opportunities for the development of every individual child so that they can meet their developmental milestones and basic life skills.

The Nursery is established as a professional training facility for those who wish to further their educational and/ or employment opportunities in Early Years Childcare and Education.
