Parent Evaluations Of Our Service at Teach Leanbh

Teach Leanbh has been in operation for almost 20 years. During this time the service has received numerours awards most recently from Health Ireland Smart Start. Teach Leanbh credits itself on providing a high end service to meet the needs of both parents and children. In October 2017 we gave each family a questionnaire to complete, regarding the service provided by Teach Leanbh. The responses that we received were extremly positive, both in the service it provides and the management and staff caring for the children. Parents/Guardians seem to be very happy with the level of care, as well as the support and learning that their child receives. The children are happy attending each day and learn and develop well as a result of the care they receive.
