Our Lady of Lourdes Early Years Service

Our Lady of Lourdes Early Years Service is a warm, community rooted space where our smallies are nurtured, celebrated and supported to thrive. Based in the heart of Ballinacurra Weston, our purpose built service provides high quality early learning and care for children from 6 months to 5½ years, grounded in play, relationships and a deep respect for each child’s voice. We follow Aistear and Síolta principles in a way that feels real and meaningful for families, creating an environment where children feel safe, confident and excited to explore the world around them.

What makes our EYS special is our wrap around approach, with Family Support woven naturally into everyday practice. Our dedicated supports work alongside educators and parents, offering guidance, encouragement and practical help when needed, so families feel listened to, respected and never alone. Because we are part of a wider community hub, families can access additional supports, activities and connections all in one place, strengthening wellbeing for both children and grown ups.

We believe early childhood is powerful. By working closely with families and partners, we give children the strongest possible start, building confidence, curiosity and a sense of belonging that stays with them long after they leave our doors.
