Dublin's childcare sector has seen a number of high-profile closures in recent years, putting working families under real strain. At Lily's Childcare, our mission has always been to provide stable, high-quality before and after-school childcare that working parents and guardians can rely on.
Why closures happen
Operating costs, staff shortages and regulatory pressures have all contributed to services across Dublin closing or reducing capacity. The result is fewer places for families and longer waiting lists in the areas that need care most.
How Lily's is responding
We have invested in long-term partnerships with schools, sports clubs and community centres so our services are embedded in the communities we serve. Strong staff retention, ongoing training and a clear focus on child wellbeing allow us to keep places open year-round, including school holidays.
Supporting working families
From the National Childcare Scheme to flexible 2, 3 and 5 day packages, we work with families to make childcare affordable and predictable. If you'd like to discuss a place at one of our Dublin locations, please get in touch via our enquiry form.
