Let’s talk childminding,
make your voice heard!
Childminders play an important role in the lives of children and families across Ireland. New regulations introduced in 2024 are designed to reflect the home setting in which childminders work, while supporting quality and safeguarding children.
The regulations are now being reviewed to get an understanding of how they are working in practice. Your voice matters.
To share your experiences and have your say, take part in our online survey or join a focus group.
