Creches in Clondalkin & Dublin 22

We list 10 services in 5 areas: Baldonnell, Balgaddy, Clondalkin, Dublin 22, Newcastle. The list grows as we add services from Tusla’s register, so check the full list for neighbouring areas too.

Each service sets its own fees, so ask for a quote when you enquire. Services in the State’s Core Funding scheme can charge no more than €280 a week for a full-day place of 40 to 49 hours 59 minutes in 2026/27, and the universal NCS subsidy of €96.30 a week brings that to no more than €183.70 (gov.ie). See our guide to creche fees in Dublin.

The National Childcare Scheme can be used at any participating Tusla-registered provider. The universal subsidy is €2.14 an hour for up to 45 hours a week, and the income-assessed subsidy depends on your family’s circumstances (ncs.gov.ie). Services marked NCS above are flagged as participating; for the others, ask the provider. Our NCS calculator gives a weekly estimate.

A child must be 2 years and 8 months old on or before 31 August to start ECCE that September, and it gives 3 hours a day, 5 days a week, for 38 weeks (Citizens Information). For 2026/27, children born between 1 January 2022 and 31 December 2023 are eligible (ncs.gov.ie). Read how ECCE works with the NCS.

Early years services must register with Tusla, which publishes inspection reports. Search Tusla’s early years register by the service’s name or Eircode. Our guide to Tusla inspection reports explains how to read them. Our creche ratios guide sets out the staffing rules inspectors check.

Yes. Newcastle and Baldonnell are in the Dublin 22 postal district, so their services are included here. Balgaddy sits on the Clondalkin–Lucan border and its listed service has a K78 (Lucan) Eircode; we include it because many Clondalkin families look there too, and it also appears on our Lucan page.
