The Childminding Development Grant

Each year the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth (DCEDIY) makes funding available for childminders. This funding is administrated locally by Limerick Childcare Committee. A grant of up to €1,000 is available to childminders who are registered with Tusla or Voluntary Notified to Limerick Childcare Committee. Other eligibility criteria apply, including proof of insurance.

The Childminding Development Grant can be used to purchase toys, educational materials and equipment or make some minor household adaptations to assist the childminder in developing a quality service.

Applications are now being invited until the deadline of 14th July 2023. Please contact lauryn@limerickchildcare.ie for an application form or further details.
