KERRY COUNTY CHILDCARE COMMITTEE COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE

Kerry County Childcare Committee Company Limited By Guarantee is a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to supporting early years provision throughout County Kerry and the wider Irish community. By bringing together parents, childminders, childcare providers and policy makers, the committee acts as a central hub for information, networking and professional development in the sector.

The committee's website offers a comprehensive suite of resources, including up-to-date guidance on the National Childcare Scheme, a dedicated jobs board for childcare staff, and detailed information for parents on funding schemes such as ECCE and the National Childcare Scheme. Childminders and registered providers can access the National Action Plan for Childminding (2021-2028), networking events, development programmes and a weekly bulletin that keeps them "always children first". In addition, the site hosts a range of parent-focused services, from toddler groups and parenting courses to 24-seven support via Tusla.

Through these services, Kerry County Childcare Committee helps families find quality care, assists providers in meeting best-practice standards, and promotes a collaborative, child-centred approach to early education and care.
