    Hi Yummum,

    You'd be better off ringing some of the local schools to get an idea on this as they can vary. Not only with prices but with times also

    My eldest just finished a year in pre school that ran from 8:50 until 11:20 or from 12 to 2:30. You had to choose if they were going to attend the morning or afternoon session and it was free for the year.

    He is starting school in our local school and his brother will be starting preschool there next March from 9 until 12, and this will cost €45 a week.

    thats gr8 thanks, i just have no one to ask so i find i get bit flustered bout wat i shud do..
    im in 2 minds bout leaving her in the creche, which she loves and is beind me and near the college, or movin her to the preschool when she 3 so she will make friends with kids she will be moving with to primary school. cause my hrs i wud have to get a minder to drop her off and collect her in eve. as il be in my final yr when she starts school i will have to get minder anyway, so was thinkin may as well get one yr earlier and change to preschool.. but i just dont know.

    The main reason why my 2 are going/have gone to preschool is because my Wife looks after them at home. They have never gone to a creche or montessori so we decided to send them to get them used to being away from home and get used to the whole school environment.

    hey thanks for ur input...
    my little girl loves the creche and think she really excels in her speech and feeding...
    i think il just play it by ear and see, if i come across someone who can recom mend someone il look into it, for the moment i think if it not broken dont fix.
    cheers rosiejoe
