The National Action Plan for Childminding (2021-2028)

The National Action Plan for Childminding (2021-2028) launched on the 15th April 2021


The overall objective of this Action Plan is to improve access to high quality affordable early learning and care and school-age childcare through childminding. To do this, the action plan sets out an incremental and supportive pathway to regulation. This will enable more childminders to access Government subsidies, making their services more affordable to parents. It will also enable them to access a variety of supports to assist them in meeting regulatory and quality requirements.
