View answerA number of childcare programmes are implemented by my Department to assist parents with the cost of childcare. These include the Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) programme, the Community Childcare Subvention (CCS) programme, and the Childcare Education and Training Support (CETS) programme.
The tables give details of the total annual funding allocated to childcare providers in counties Longford and Westmeath under the various programmes, and the number of providers that availed of this support from the establishment of Department of Children and Youth Affairs June 2011 to the present date. The figures for the ECCE programme cover the period from September 2011 which is the first full year that the programme was implemented by this Department.
