# Little Locals

> A free, local guide for parents of babies and toddlers in south County Dublin, Ireland. It lists baby and toddler groups, public playgrounds, kids' camps, crèches and schools, family events, days out, family-friendly cafés and services for parents, around Dalkey, Glasthule, Sandycove, Dún Laoghaire, Monkstown, Blackrock and Cabinteely. Parents can filter by their child's age.

Listings were last updated in October 2026. Times change, especially around school holidays, so always point people to each listing's official page to confirm.
