Parents in Callan being told now that Droichead childcare won’t close on Friday

The future of a community creche in Callan has been secured – at least for now.

Parents contacted KCLR after only finding out this week of a plan to close the community childcare facility at the Droichead Family Resource Centre by this Friday.

However it has now emerged that the creche is safe in the short- to medium-term.

Councillor Matt Doran is a member of the Friary Trust in Callan – he says talks have taken place this morning with Callan Community Network who are the landlords there and the creche will stay open until at least August.
