Childminding Ireland is conducting a national survey of parents who use a childminder, ahead of new regulations coming into effect in September 2027 as part of the childminding reform programme being led by Minister Norma Foley. These changes may have a direct impact on the availability and accessibility of childminding services. Parents' experiences and views must be heard alongside those of childminders and other stakeholders as they are implemented.
As someone with direct access to families navigating these decisions, your support in sharing this would make a real difference to the breadth and quality of our findings and help ensure that future policy decisions are grounded in the lived experiences of families.
We would be very grateful if you could share the survey link below with parents in your school, through your usual communication channels, newsletter, or email. The survey takes approximately six minutes to complete and is fully anonymous.
