Gingerbread NI promotes and supports the availability of high quality childcare for pre-school age children of lone parents.
The organisation has developed three on-site childcare facilities:
Central Office (Belfast)
Our Crèches are designed to offer children the opportunity to develop social, intellectual and physical skills in a safe, secure, multi-cultural environment where they can develop skills through interactive play.
The centres' crèches offer lone parents the opportunity to leave their child/ren with fully qualified staff while they themselves attend training, which also takes place in the centres. We also provide respite sessions and offer a drop in facility for any lone parent who may have an appointment with one of our advice workers.
We offer a warm, stimulating and caring environment where pre-school age children can develop their skills and socialise with other children of the same age group.
Activities
Play is an important part of a child's development. At our crèches we provide play that will help children develop socially, emotionally, physically, intellectually and aesthetically. As far as possible, planned activities such as art and craft will have something for everyone.

The children also enjoy sitting together and eating or celebrating an occasion such as a birthday or Christmas party together.
