Childcare
grants
Fingal
County Childcare Committee (FCCC) has been acting in an advisory role
for all childcare services throughout the Fingal area for the past seven
years. In this capacity, FCCC has been providing advice, information
and assistance on a wide variety of topics in the childcare field.
The committee is now offering advice to all local childcare providers
who wish to apply for funding support under the government’s National
Childcare Investment Programme (NCIP) 2006-2010. Under this programme
a range of grants are available to private providers, community providers
and childminders who will contribute to the development of new childcare
places or quality improvement work for their services.
Three categories of grant aid are available ranging from capital grants
of €1.2m for community childcare services to €100,000 for
private childcare services and €5,000 per child for childminding
services.
According to Michelle Butler of the Fingal County Childcare Committee
“we would like to invite those seeking support in accessing the
Childcare Investment Programme funding to contact us. Our staff will
discuss the application process and assist you in completing application
forms and provide any additional advice on the grants where required.
Michelle was also anxious to stress that “the deadline for submission
of applications is Friday 16th May 2008 and if you do not submit your
application in time it will be May 2009 before it can be submitted again.”
Anyone interested in applying should immediately contact the Fingal
County Childcare Committee (tel. 01 8077660).
