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. As this is the first year CCSP will be administered on the Early Years Hive, we recommend that you review the key information regarding child registration for the programme below. 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.
