Mother Goose Creche, Clonfadda, Killaloe, was bustling with excitement as they participated in the Barnardos Big Toddle this week.

Seventy five children aged from under a year old to five years old were all involved in the sponsorship walk and were toddling for the cause of Barnardos.

Since 2008, the Killaloe creche has taken part in the Barnardos Big Toddle. This year’s event was held in Clarisford Park. The Barnardos Big Toddle is a fun half-mile sponsored walk for crèche and pre-school aged children, raising funds for Barnardos Early Years services.

Over the past 21 years, toddlers across Ireland have raised €4.7 million, making a significant impact on the lives of vulnerable children.
