🚨 𝗗𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗮 𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿? 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀.

Childminding in Ireland is changing.

New regulations have been introduced to bring paid childminding services under a national registration system.

Right now, there is a transition period in place. This means childminders can choose whether or not to register with Tusla.

But from 𝟮𝟵 𝗦𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟳, childminders providing paid childcare in their own home for children under 15 will be required to register.

If your family uses a childminder, has used one in the past, or may need one in the future, we want to hear from you.

The 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗹 (#𝗡𝗣𝗖) is hosting an online session today Monday 6th July to hear parents’ views and experiences.

What has worked well for your family?
What has been difficult?
What do parents need to be considered as these changes are introduced?

🗓 𝗢𝗻𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻:
𝗠𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝟲 𝗝𝘂𝗹𝘆 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲

🕰 𝗖𝗵𝗼𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺:
• 𝟭𝟬𝗮𝗺
• 𝟳𝗽𝗺

This is an important chance for parents to share real experiences before registration becomes mandatory.
