>One such provider is Bright Sparks Montessori & Daycare in Clondalkin, Dublin. After leaving the scheme ahead of the new school year, full-time fees increased from €190 a week to €300 a week. This works out as an increase of €440 a month.
>A chain of childcare providers in Dublin, Once Upon A Time, has also pulled four locations from the scheme. Three of these locations have increased full-time fees by over €300 a month, while the fourth has increased them by €297 a month.
There’s one thing that we do really well in this country. Greed. We are absolute masters of it.
As a business owner – I get it.
As a parent – it makes me sick.
Budget time, nothing but pure extortion to get more money out of the taxpayers
Why do they make being a working parent so stressful in this country. I’m sick of politicians talking about making things easier for parents when it just seems to get consistently harder.
B-But the free market is supposed to provide solutions…
Housing, childcare, health. Is there any area where the irish people aren’t getting fucked over.
Sure, vote for FFG they’ll fix it this time, pinky promise.
Is there an argument to be made for full nationalisation of the early years education sector. There’s enough community halls, sports facilities and community centers to make a decent start of it. Government grants to get them upto spec, the sports organizations, community centres etc get a upgraded facility and child care becomes affordable? Give the staff a decent public sector wage and pension and in time when new primary schools are getting built or extended add in a few rooms for the early years childcare sector.
Let existing providers either compete for the private market or come under a government scheme..
I have commented on this multiple times in the past.
There are huge sums of money being handed over to private sector businesses via this scheme and it’s still not working. I would propose the following long term plans.
1. No new schools are built without early years education facilities on the grounds.
2. All existing school grounds are evaluated to build dedicated early years education centers.
3. Existing providers are evaluated to come under the banner of a public sector ran facility , giving job security , public sector pension and other similar benefits to early years educators.
This may take a decade or more to do, but it will be worth it in the long-term.
Energy bills and other inflationary pressures doing their thing. Burgeoning population with no thought for infrastructure and here we are.
Why do we have to be a boom and bust country, do we never learn.
It needs to a public service taken under Dept of Ed with proper pay and conditions to retain and attract staff. Parents can pay fixed amounts. 70k waiting on spaces is insanity – mine are nearly done with creche but the stress is unreal.
Unregistered childminders charging double creche cash in hand.
If they want people having children then this along with housing is the priority
Care professions should also be public services, care of elderly and people with disabilities etc.
