Important information on the CCSP Saver Programme and Preparation for 2022/23 Programme Call

The Community Childcare Subvention Plus (CCSP) Saver Programme has moved from the PIP Portal onto the Early Years Hive for the upcoming programme year. This marks the final early learning and care programme to transition from PIP onto the Early Years Hive, and all programmes will now be conveniently managed from the same portal.

Registrations will open for the CCSP 2022 Programme Call on the Early Years Hive on Monday 8 August 2022.
 
The CCSP 2022 Programme Call will commence on Monday 15 August 2022.

Communication 
 
Pobal will cease posting announcements for service providers on the PIP Portal when the CCSP 2021 Programme Call ends on 12 August 2022, as all early learning and care programmes will be administered on the Early Years Hive once the current programme year is completed.
 
All announcements are, and will continue to be, posted on the announcement page of the Early Years Hive. You can find guidance on how to use the Hive announcement page here
