 Welcome to Ladybirds!

 

Ladybirds is the perfect setting for introducing your little one to an exciting new world of fun, learning and social interaction.

 

Ladybirds was established in September 2011 by primary school teacher Mrs Kathryn McMullan. It started as a morning playgroup session where quality care and attention to detail were paramount. It soon grew to include full time day care and after two extensions to the main building, Ladybirds was the only childcare provider in the area to offer playgroup, pre-school, daycare and after-school facilities.

A great deal of care and attention has been put in to making our setting a bright, spacious and stimulating space where your child can learn and develop in a caring and nurturing environment leaving them well prepared for the next stage in their little life.

As well as a safe, stimulating, and homely atmosphere, we ensure that each child enjoys a broad and balanced day full of many activities, allowing them to have fun and build confidence while they learn.

Following a period of closure due to Covid 19 when we re-opened our doors in September 2020, we did so with a few adjustments to our provision.

 

Currently we offer 1 Playgroup Sessions and 2 Pre-School sessions each day along with our After School Club in the Seven Towers Leisure Centre.
