So many more Mini Me's

Butlersbridge has just trippled it's childcare facilities. “And many people don't even know we exist yet,” says Evelyn Sheridan excitedly. She is Co-managing Director of Mini Me's Creche, Pre-school and Afterschool just off the Cavan Bypass Road.

Their new extension will be officially opened in September with new baby, wobbler and toddler rooms, as well as pre and afterschool rooms and staff facilities. From August, the children will already be able to visit the new extension.

Mini Me's motto is “live your day”. Unbeknownst that parents have job obligations and responsibilities, the children can dwell in the open areas and potter away. “We provide space for the children to explore and learn how to socialise with others,” says Evelyn. Besides the new extension, Mini Me are constantly revamping the outdoor area.

Herbs and plants not only brighten up the yard, they can be enjoyed too. A lush green embankment of parsley, coriander and chives invited the kids to pluck and taste while taking in scent of lavish purple lavender. There's a summer house, swings and plenty of grass to roll around or play games in. They have 13 staff members at the minute, but are currently looking to hire more. Pre-school class still has availability, but Mini Me does have an active waiting list for the other services.
