Spraoi and Sonas Early Learning Centres are quality childcare facilities with 10 branches spanning across Galway and Clare. Specialising in crèche, pre-school, after-school, and day-care services for kids aged 12 months to 12 years, we pride ourselves on offering a fun and safe environment for your little ones to thrive in.

With a team of fully-qualified and experienced childcare workers on hand in our Clare & Galway Creche facilities, we provide unparalleled care and support to all children in our care, offering an extensive range of age-appropriate activities to help them to grow, mature, socialise, and get the most from their time at Spraoi & Sonas.

From role-play and dress-up to arts and crafts, singing, dancing, reading, writing, and general play, we focus on helping your child to develop socialisation skills, communication skills, and motor skills to last a lifetime. With after-school and day-care services also available across many of our Clare & Galway branches, we offer older kids an equally fun environment where inclusivity, socialisation, and fun are at its heart.

Parent Testimonials

When I returned to University it was a stressful time and knowing that my daughter was happy and well cared for made the transition easier for me. The staff are wonderful, and I highly recommend the service.

Parent at NUIG, Newcastle Creche

We have our two girls in spraoi knocknacarra & we are delighted with it. We were nervous parents when they started as it was there first time in creche but from day one they loved it. The girls skip in every day so happy & the staff are so lovely. We would highly recommend this creche.

Elinor & Noel Tyrrell

Our son Eli has attended Sonas since the first day it opened its doors. It is a brand new créche and the facilities provided for the children are excellent, in particular the outdoor play area. I have nothing but praise for the staff at Sonas. They do different activities with the babies every day, that I would never even think of doing, and have a new theme each week which is great for the kids learning and development. It is clear that the girls take such good care of our little boy as he runs in happily every morning and doesn't want to leave at the end of the day. Eli moved up to the toddlers room in January and he loves it. I can see him becoming more independent everyday and the social interaction with babies his age is wonderful. The Childpaths app is brilliant as we receive pictures and updates on Eli throughout the day. I would highly recommend Sonas if you are looking for a safe and caring environment for your little ones.

Jess

I sent my first little one to the Gort creche, it was like a home away from home for her. When it came to our second child, I didn’t have to think about it and I didn’t hesitate in sending my second there too. I’m glad I did as they both loved it. They run through the doors in the morning which is a relief as I know that they are happy to see both their friends and the staff. This means the world to us as parents.

Parent at Boland’s Court, Gort Creche

The reason I chose Spraoi was the central location and the Childpaths App that they use. It gave me great confidence that my son was busy learning and playing all day long. It really kept us in the loop as parents. Fantastic facilities inside and out.
