Welcome To The Purple Bell

Accepting the National Childcare Scheme

Growing together with our local Community

A place to thrive, before and after the bell

A School Aged Childcare service rooted in Community, with a passion for providing high quality care for every child that crosses our doors.

At The Purple Bell, our mission is to provide a safe, welcoming, and nurturing space for school-aged children in an environment where every child is seen, supported, and encouraged to thrive through play, creativity, and connection.

Pre-school by The Purple Bell: Coming Summer 2026

We are delighted to be opening our very first Pre-school in Summer 2026, welcoming children aged 2 years 6 months to 5 years 6 months. We will be based in the beautiful location of Coral Leisure in Arklow.

Our pre-school will offer sessional hours during the summer, with part-time hours becoming available from September. We will follow a play-based, emergent approach, where children learn and develop through their interests in a warm, nurturing environment. We are so excited for this new chapter of The Purple Bell.

For more information about the service and enrollment, pop us an email or call us any time.
