Tipperary Childcare Committee CLG

Tipperary Childcare Committee Company Limited by Guarantee operates to encourage and coordinate the development of child-centered, flexible, and accessible childcare in Tipperary. The organisation aims to offer a choice of high-quality services for all within a stable and secure environment. It was formed in June 2015 following the merger of the North and South Tipperary County Childcare Committees.

Funded by the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth, the committee acts as a local agent for national early childhood care and education programmes. It serves as a primary contact for parents and childcare providers seeking access to early years initiatives. The company provides guidance on setting up services, compliance, and funding schemes such as the Early Childhood Care and Education Scheme.

The organisation supports childcare services and childminders through programme support, quality initiatives, and training opportunities. Services include in-house training on children first and equality, quality action plan advice, and sustainability governance supports. It assists providers with responding to inspections from Tusla and Pobal, ensuring regulatory compliance and operational stability across the county.
