> She said that from September, the funding is set to be worth over €390 million “contingent on the establishment of new minimum rates of pay in the sector through updated Employment Regulation Orders”.
So the real reason they’re leaving the scheme is to avoid paying staff fairly.

They need either to go state funded completely or dumb down on paperwork and insurance requirements.

This has me freaked out. Our child goes to a Once Upon a Time creche (not one of the ones that have already pulled out)
They sent an email to parents attempting to allay any concerns and I naively thought it might be over (for now)
Expecting the worst now

Worked in an after school that was a single, non franchised, small business. The pre school wing couldn’t cope with the rising costs of insurance and had to close, leaving only the after school which AFAIK is still running.
Terrified of not being able to afford childcare if we move out of the family home. At the moment my retired mum is our childcare, and I’d sooner look for a minder with a few kids in their care if I had to.
