The Action Plan is a pathway being developed over the next 8 years towards regulation, support and subsidies for all paid, non-relative childminders. The Action Plan will bring both change and significant benefits for childminders, children and the families using their services.
Within the first 2-3 years the action plan will enable childminders to access subsidies through the National Childcare Scheme, helping parents to pay for their services.
The National Action Plan for Childminding (NAPC) aims to support children and their families to experience the benefits of quality childminding in a relationship-based, home-from-home, family-life environment.
