Crèches in Ashtown / Castleknock and IFSC (Dublin)

Hi everyone,

We just moved to Dublin from Lucembourg with our 2 year old daughter. We found a nice apartment in Castleknock / Ashtown (Phoenix Park Racecourse) and we're seriously considering going ahead with it. The proximity to the Ashtown train station is a big plus as well as the Phoenix Park itself.
Can you please tell me is your view on this area / neighborhood? Is it safe?
As per childcare, it seems that offer in Ashtown is rather limited. Would you be able to recommend something there? We would also consider bringing our daughter in the train every morning to Docklands and then take her to a crèche somewhere in the IFSC.
Would you happen to know Someone that has his / her child in a crèche at the IFSC? Someone we could perhaps contact to discuss the best options around? This would be most useful!
Thank you so much in advance for your help!
Cheers!
Gonçalo
