There have been a number of support resources developed by the DCEDIY through the National Childminding Team (using material that has been adapted from resources previously developed and published by the City/County Childcare Committees and Tusla). The resources contain the most up to date information relevant to the childminding sector (Sept. 2020).

Childminding Ireland is the National Childminding Body in Ireland.
