Hi, my name is Dorota (children know me as Dora!), owner of Dora's House and I am a registered childminder living in Belfast, in the BT7 area.

My house (Dora's House) is a large 4 bedroom house with dedicated room for play, and a secure garden with outdoor play facilities.

Dora's House provides the best possible service by ensuring that, through play and activity sessions, all children have fun whilst learning something new each day. Activities include, arts and crafts, role-play, toys and games, outdoor play equipment, and a wide range of books and toys are available for all ages, gender and cultural groups. Meals are also included during the day.

I cater for children of all ages, full-time and part time, so please get in touch anytime for a friendly chat and to arrange a visit! I am only minutes away from some excellent recreational facilities including the play park beside the Botanic Gardens and Cherry Vale play park. Occasional visits to Zoo, Museum or other attractions are also sometimes arranged.
