Our Approach


We provide a homely, warm and safe setting that’s responsive to each childs interests and sensitive to their individual needs. Underlying our approach is the belief that every child is a unique and special individual.

Our Vision

Each of our crèches becomes a home from home where your little one can express themselves and make new friends in a warm, welcoming environment. Our child-initiated and adult led ethos means that we focus on each child’s individual interests and needs and support them as they investigate the world in their special way.

Our Practice

It takes a village to raise a child and we work closely together with communities parents and families to best fulfil our role enable confident and happy children to learn and grow together. It’s a role we take seriously because we believe that together we are helping to build a better and brighter future, one child at a time.

Quality Framework

At Giraffe childcare we’re committed to nurturing your childs love of life and boundless curiosity. We are all about fun and learning through play because we know that fun is at the heart of promoting your childrens emotional, social, physical and cognitive well-being.

What our Parents say about us

The Giraffe carers are wonderful – so caring and fun for the kids. My daughter skips into Giraffe Harcourt every day. I hope that the government will take some initiatives to help our vital childcare workers to stay and live in Dublin city.
