When the cat’s away the mice will play, but only if they can convince the hamster to lend them some toys. Get playful with today’s Groupon €99 for up to €536 worth of childcare services when you sign up to six month contract up to €1051 per month at Cocoon Childcare. With purposebuilt facilities and a playful approach to learning, Cocoon Childcare transforms little hungry caterpillars into blossoming butterflies across Ireland. The professional, highlytrained and friendly child carers follow a bespoke curriculum designed to furnish children with key social and communication skills. Each day begins with breakfast and free play, before getting stuck into activities like gluing and animal impersonations. The nutritional plan is detailed and structured around healthy ingredients, while a regular newsletter keeps parents up to date. Signing up for six months of childcare at one of a choice of locations across Dublin city and county, Kildare, and Wicklow, parents can use their voucher towards as many weekdays of funfilled activity as their child can handle. There are full and part time care options available; the voucher covers two days’ care a week for one month up to €536 at any of the centres, but parents have the option to pay the difference towards three, four, or five days’ care per week. For example, if a parent wants to pay for 3 days care for the first month at the cheapest location using the Groupon voucher, they will have to pay an €89 supplement; at the most expensive location, they will have to pay a €273 supplement. The cost of the remaining five months of the contract will depend on the cost of the individual crèche, the age of the child, and the number of days care per week. The child must be booked in and start before 30 June 2012, and a €200 deposit for 2, 3 or 4 full days €400 deposit for 5 full days is required to hold their place. This deposit is fully refunded after the six month term ends if it is cancelled 30 days prior to the end date. If parents opt not to sign up for six months, or break the contract, the deposit is forfeit.
