OUR CRECHE
The programme at Springwell probably could not run at the same level without the support of the creche, which enables many mothers to participate in activities in the centre. It provides a welcome and often very necessary respite for parents, giving them an oasis, a time to concentrate on themselves and their own needs, knowing that their children are in safe hands.
At Springwell we provide a warm, welcoming place in which young children learn important social skills - short separations from mother, and learning to share and play with other children. This year, thirty individual children availed of the service.
The creche is registered with Southern Health & Social Care Trust,
and is run by fully qualified staff.
