National Childcare Scheme
(NCS) Support

We understand that childcare costs can be a significant burden for many families, which is why we’re pleased to offer guidance on the National Childcare Scheme (NCS) in Ireland. The NCS is a government initiative designed to make childcare more affordable for parents, providing financial support to those who meet the eligibility criteria. Through the NCS, families can access:
  • Subsidies for eligible children (aged 0 to 15 years) attending registered childcare providers, like The Little Peter After School.
  • Financial assistance based on family income, the age of the child, and the number of hours of care required.
  • Two types of subsidies: 1. Universal Subsidy for all children under 3 years of age; 2. Income-based Subsidy for families that meet the income criteria, which can be higher depending on your situation.
By applying for the NCS, eligible families can reduce their childcare fees, making high-quality care more accessible. If you have questions or need help navigating the NCS process, our team is more than happy to assist you in understanding your eligibility and applying for subsidies.
For more information, you can visit the NCS website or contact our office directly.
