Angela Cronin, Manager at Crèche Cois Laoi in her praise of the staff on being awarded The Centre of Excellence said: "I would like to thank all the staff at Crèche Cois Laoi for their commitment and dedication in working to bring the Crèche to the high standard that we have achieved. We have all learned so much during the process and we can see how the improvements and changes that we have made are positively impacting on the children."

Quality childcare positively influences children’s earliest experiences in daycare and plays a vital role in their future development.
