Dear Members,

The Minister for Children and Youth Affairs, Frances Fitzgerald TD  outlined yesterday, December 5th, the changes being implemented to the universal free pre-school year, and the  Community Childcare Subvention (CCS) programme as well as the Childcare Employment & Training Support (CETS) scheme. The full report on these changes can be downloaded here

We would like to hear from members by email as to how these changes will affect your service, and what the repercussions for you as a childcare provider will be.

Please email kyliej@ncna.ie  with your response

Many thanks,

We wish all at Canavan & Byrne every success for the future.
