The Old School House Day Nursery And Afterschool

At The Old School House our primary aim is to provide a safe, secure, educational and fun filled environment for your children.

The Old School House is situated on the outskirts of Hillsborough in a semi-rural setting; the building was the original old school serving the local community in the Newport area, hence the title of the complex. The Old School House has been providing childcare since 1995. Our facility is currently registered for forty five children between the baby unit, main nursery and pre school and a further twenty children in our Out of School Club in Culcavy and twenty four in our Out of School Club at the Village Center in Hillsborough which is attached to Downshire Primary School in Hillsborough.
