HELP - Dublin pre-school

[ZASK]

Hi,
we are relocating from Switzerland to Dublin with two small children aged 3years and 5months. We’d prefer an all day program or somewhere that at least provides wrap around care.
can people recommended a good pre-school for the 3year old. He’s used to a very active program, normally outside for 2hours per day. We are open to areas as we will choose the school then find a property.
we will work in the financial Ce tre and thought anywhere within 30mins would be ideal. (Either by car or public transport, although all blogs indicate traffic is awful so I suspect 30mins by car won’t take you far).
thanks for all the tips and help

I would suggest Castle Park in Dalkey, wrap around care and a big ex pat community. It's about a 15 minute walk to the train station which will take you into the city centre in 30 minutes.

You could look for somewhere to live in Dalkey/Glenageary/ Dun Laoghaire/Monkstown/ Blackrock but you will be paying €2/3000 per month even for a 2 bed apartment

You would be looking for a full day care/creche space, preschool generally refers to the free 3 hours a day termtime ECCE scheme rather than full-time care.
How soon are you looking to move as most services will have waiting lists some for 12 months plus or move. Unfortunately it may be a question of taking somewhere that has a space until a space comes free in a service you d prefer. An alternative might be an ECCE session and a childminder to drop/collect
