CONSTRUCTION work has commenced on a new, purpose-built, community childcare facility at Milleencoola in Bantry. 

To mark the big step forward, Rainbow Childcare had a tremendous gathering at the site. 

Children, parents, staff and the management committee joined with John Paul Keane of McKee Construction and donned hard hats, high visibility jackets, and even brought their own shovels and construction vehicles to lend a hand and get the project off to a great start.
