Our offering

We offer a number of types of childcare.  Fees for each type are identified on our fees page of our website: www.starsonthelane.ie.

For those attending on a 38 week basis (anyone attending mornings only 8.45 – 12.15), we offer camps during school holidays where parents can supplement their childcare.  The camps are offered either part time (10 – 2 each day) or full time (7.30am – 6.30pm).  We do not offer part day camps, or singular days.  Camps are booked on a week by week basis.  Camps can only be offered to children currently registered and attending Little Stars on the Lane.  NCS funding can be used for camps.

Full time care:
This is offered on a 50 week a year basis.  We close for two weeks at Christmas.  We are open from 7.30am to 6.30pm Monday to Friday.

Sessional: Our sessional hours are 8.45 – 12.15 (8.45 – 11.45 for ECCE children with an optional half hour extra from 11.45 – 12.15).  These are offered on a term time basis (38 weeks a year).  The calendar is set each summer for the following academic year (September to June).

Afterschool:
Afterschool is offered term time only (38 weeks a year) and follows our ECCE calendar.  Children can book into camps for the weeks they are not attending afterschool.

Fees for those attending 38 weeks per year (term time):
All fees are broken down into ten even months fees.  This is the only way that fees are manageable.  However out of term time, we will have camps available to you.  These will be paid for separately but we will hopefully be able to offset some NCS funding against the cost of your camps.  We will advise on this as soon as we know ourselves.

ECCE and full time students:
Again to allow for manageable fees, our ECCE funding is reduced over 12 months to our full time children (those attending 50 weeks a year).  This way, fees are the same each month regardless of how the ECCE calendar falls.
