Celebrate National
Childminding Week
National Childminding Week (19-23 October) celebrates the important role childminders play in the lives of children, families and communities across Ireland.
It's a chance to recognise the professionalism, dedication and commitment of childminders, and the unique home-from-home experience they provide. Throughout the week, childminders can connect with one another, take part in events and learn more about the supports available to them.
It's also an opportunity to celebrate the positive difference childminders make every day.
