Dear Service Provider, 

AIM Level 4,5 & 7 applications are now open on the Early years Hive. 

Please note, where previously an extension application would be submitted for a child who is remaining in the same service and requires a second year of AIM Level 7 support, the AIM Review & Confirm process must now be completed.  

Please refer to the AIM Hive Guides to support you with the submission of your AIM applications and completion of the new AIM Review & Confirm process. 

Important Information 

Services are reminded to submit any relevant AIM application at least three months prior to a child’s planned start date in ECCE. 

Please note AIM Level 4 & 7 training sessions are being provided to service providers today.
