About Pebbles

A steady, familiar face for every family on the Shercock Road.

Pauline Grimes
Registered Provider, Pebbles Childcare

Pebbles Childcare sits on the Shercock Road in Cabra, Kingscourt — a purpose-run service built around one idea: children settle, and thrive, when the people around them are consistent, patient and genuinely fond of them.

The service is registered with Tusla, Ireland's Child and Family Agency, across two strands: an early-years creche and sessional Montessori for children aged 1–6, and a dedicated before/after-school and summer camp programme for children aged 4–12.

Whether your child is here for a full day, a few sessions a week, or just the hours either side of the school bell, the aim is the same — a calm, well-supervised space in Kingscourt where they're known by name.

Why families choose Pebbles

The details parents actually ask about.

  • Tusla registered & inspected

    Both the preschool and school-age services are registered with Tusla and operate to national childcare regulations.

  • Owner-run & hands-on

    Provider Pauline Grimes leads the service directly, so the same familiar faces greet your child every day.

  • One roof, every age

    Babies through to pre-teens are covered under one address, so siblings can be dropped off together.

  • Montessori foundations

    A structured, play-based Montessori room helps pre-schoolers build the independence they'll need for "big school."

  • Term & summer cover

    Before/after-school care and a dedicated summer camp mean fewer gaps for working parents to plan around.

  • On the Shercock Road

    An easy drop-off on the edge of Kingscourt town, convenient for Cabra, Moybologue and the surrounding townlands.

A day at Pebbles

Small enough to notice, structured enough to settle.

From arrival to collection, the day is shaped around your child's age and stage — free play and sensory exploration for the youngest ones, guided Montessori activities for pre-schoolers, and a relaxed, social space for school-age children before and after class.

"A steady routine, a familiar room, and someone who knows your child's name — that's what we set out to give every family on the Shercock Road."
