    The creche we use in co Meath is increasing its fee by 5eur per day in September
    Under the new government fee we would receive a 4eut per day deduction, so in September we will pay 1eur per day more

    No, but they've also decided not to opt into the new scheme

    The implementation of this seems very poor for something that was announced in the last budget. The website says you qualify if in a Tusla registered childcare but then further down says speak to your provider to check if they are offering the subsidy. Why give the option to opt in or out to provider?

    I actually don't mind that they're not opting in - our little girl is only in creche two days a week anyway so the assistance would be minimal. The government treats early childhood care providers with contempt imo - these things are announced with no consultation or support for implementing them

    There was a consultation survey prior to the rolling out of the scheme. Not sure whether it informed the actual scheme or not though. My suggestions weren't used anyway :pac:

    the govt have messed up on this by not telling the providers how the scheme will work, who will administer it & how or what the rates of subvention will be. Theyve issued contracts for providers to sign up but they dont provide any details or obligations on both sides so alot of pre schools/creches are refusing to sign up until more details and better planning on implementing are put out by the govt or their lackys.
