In 2015, we opened an early years service in Swords, Co. Dublin. A little boy called Harry Fitzpatrick started with us. Harry was 9 months old and the first child of his parents. Harry's Mum and Dad filled in his "getting to know you" form and explained to us how Harry had been born after the death of his little cousin and that his birth had brought much joy back to their family. They explained where Harry fit within his extended family and how another cousin of his, who had down syndrome, played an important role in Harry's life. His parents let us know all about Harry's likes and dislikes and what he meant to them, and who he was as an individual. This form allowed all of our educators to know Harry before we ever met him. We knew not just the boy we met when he started (an absolute character) but who he was within his home and community. We share this story with all our new parents so that they can know that there is no such thing as too much information. Every detail about their child counts and helps us to get to know them.
From our learning through Harry's form, we started "Harry's Tree". This is a wall within each service where each child's picture is displayed. Under the picture is a word or sentence from the child's family which best describes the child. The tree reminds us every day that each child in Tigers is an individual.
To this day, Harry remains part of the Tigers family and regularly drops back into our service in Ridgewood.
Sending a big thanks you to Tigers for creating such a loving and caring space for my daughter, Zoe Katie! From day one, we felt like part of the family. The staff are amazing - they're so attentive and genuinely passionate about their work. Zoe Katie has flourished under their care, and we're grateful for all the happy memories she's made. I'd enthusiastically recommend Tigers to any parent seeking a nurturing and stimulating environment for their child. We'll miss you all dearly!
We’re beyond grateful for the incredible care and nourishing environment provided by Tigers. The staff's dedication and warmth have made our child's experience truly enriching. Thank you for creating a happy place with engaging activities for our little one.
I couldn’t recommend Tigers in St Philips enough. My 5 year old boy is absolutely loving the place. The girls are going above and beyond to keep these little faces smiling all day. I’m very happy I came across them when looking for childcare, 100% recommend.. Huge thank you to Leanne and Leah!
Ethan absolutely loves pre-school and his teachers. He is always excited to go and has made friends. As a full time working Mum I love the introduction of Child Paths. I know he has been safely dropped off and picked up which gives me great peace of mind.
Ryan really enjoys his time at Tigers, he loves doing arts and crafts, doing experiments with the girls and playing with toys with his friends. Triona and Tender are very efficient and friendly. They take great time to play with the children and ensure they have a good time.
Just wanted to pass on my sincere thanks and appreciation to Katelyn in Junior Discovery room. She is the most loved teacher there, not only by Mia but I heard the best reviews from many mums too. She makes this scary step for us parents and our babies so easy when you see the love and care she gives our babies. Mia fell in love with Katelyn from day one and is happy going to creche since. Her face lights up every time she sees Katelyn and it warms my heart leaving Mia in her care every day. Katelyn is such an asset to your team and I will forever be grateful for her as the 1st and such loved Mia’s teacher! She is an example of a carer who truly loves her job and gives it 100%. Every parent is lucky to have Katelyn taking care of their babies! It will be a hard transition to move to a different room and leave Katelyn behind and I can see what lovely bond Katelyn formed with Mia already. I am sure there will be other amazing teachers in Tigers we will get to meet along the way.
Jaydens experience in Tigers Balgriffin so far has been so amazing. Every day he comes home with new skills and it’s great to see him mixing with other children his age. He absolutely loves the staff in his room like Alba, Lucia and Isabel, they are so loving and welcoming to him and greet him with a big hug everyday. The activities they run with the class are so purposeful and are things I would never think to do with my son. They really go above and beyond with the care they give Jayden and the relationship formed with me too. I’m very grateful for all their hard work and effort!
Indie absolutely loves Belgard Tigers and it is a testament to all teachers and management there. I am so happy I chose this creche for my daughter and love getting updates / photos of her baking, coloring and playing throughout the day.
We are very happy that we chose to send our son, Max, to Tigers Childcare in Ashbourne. He couldn't be happier, his social skills have really grown and he has made a lot of friends. All the children in the Junior and Senior discoverers rooms are so joyful and they all seem to have a wonderful rapport with each of the staff. A special thank you to Aimee, Ciara, Laura, IIze and Niamh who put so much effort into caring for the children, making their days so much fun, and keeping the center running so well. We never have to worry about Max as they keep us posted throughout the day on child paths and will always engage with the parents on different topics. We also love how Max is constantly doing activities while in creche. Whether it be arts and crafts, playing games, outdoor fun, etc. He is never bored.
