Consultations

The National Action Plan for Childminding (NAPC) recognises that each childminding home is unique.
Consultations with childminders about new appropriate childminding regulations will be starting soon. We want to hear the views of as many childminders as possible.
To get involved please contact your local City or County Childcare Committee (CCC). Details of your local CCC can be found here: https://myccc.ie/where-is-my-nearest-ccc

The National Action Plan for Childminding

The National Action Plan for Childminding is a pathway to be developed over the next 8 years that sets out steps towards regulation, support and subsidies, for all paid, non-relative childminders. The Action Plan will involve change and significant benefits for childminders, children and the families using their services.

 The aim of the Action Plan is to provide greater recognition for childminding and to support childminders in their work of providing high quality early learning and care and school age childcare, thus supporting child development and learning outcomes and helping families.
