We call on Minister Zappone to withdraw the Draft Childminding Action Plan and resubmit a new document with a clear vision for regulating quality childminding, which actually recognises the contribution, role and function of childminders in the provision of childcare to thousands of Irish children each day.

Childminding Ireland believes that the Draft Childminding Action Plan is misguided, it looks to crèche industry structures while supposedly creating a new proportionate and appropriate system for childminding. It pays lip service to, but does not respect the enormous contribution made by childminders. Childminders must drive and steer the change process.
