Our Crèche was opened on the 1st March 1995 and the Pre-school on the 1st January 1997. Minnieland was built by Fiona, as a dream to stay at home with her children and provide them with the best love and education she could offer them. She has treated every child as her own and has built-up a warm and friendly environment for all children, parents and staff.
