Childminding Regulations
The new childminding regulations were launched by DCEDIY in September 2024.
The Childcare Act 1991 (Early Years Services) (Childminding Services) Regulations 2024.
Relevant sections of the Childcare (Amendment) Act 2024 will be commenced on the same day and, in line with the Act, there will be a transition period of 3 years following the commencement of the regulations. During this 3-year transition period, childminders will be able to register with Tusla, but they will not be required to do so.
Once registered by tusla, childminders can then apply to take part in the National Childcare Scheme.
