One of our biggest highlights this year so far was our 55th Anniversary Family Fun Day – and what a day it was!

Thank you to everyone who joined us to celebrate over half a century of laughter, learning, and love. There was ice cream, games galore, magic, face painting, balloons, and even a surprise visit from a very popular “princess” and a superhero! Seeing generations of families, past and present, come together really reminded us what makes Childcare Services at Queen’s so special.

A prime example of how we help staff and students at Queen's University Belfast is the wonderful Mitchell family, who have been part of the Childcare community for an incredible (almost) 20 years! All four of their children have grown up with us, right from baby room cuddles to waving goodbye in Primary 7. It’s been such a privilege to watch them grow into kind, confident young people, and to share so many milestones along the way. The love and support that the Mitchell family have shown our nursery over the years means the world to us, and we’re so grateful to have been part of their journey (and they, part of ours!)

As always, a huge thank you to all our families for your continued support, your kind words, and your trust. Whether you’ve been with us for years or just joined, you’re a treasured part of the Childcare family. Here’s to the next 55 years!
