GOLLIWOPSIE PLAYGROUP
The playgroup operates in the Griffithstown area but is happy to cater for children from any area. We provide care for children aged two to five years, between the hours of 9.00 am to 3.00 pm. We offer morning sessions 9.00-11.30, afternoon sessions 12.30-3.00 and a lunch club session 11.30-12.30. We also provide a collection service for the lunch club, from Griffithstown Nursery .

What the accounts disclose

“Money is kept in reserve to cover staff wages and rent at the beginning of the school year. This is when we lose a large number of children who are starting school.”
