The National Childcare Scheme (NCS) is a government funded scheme to help parents with their childcare costs.  There are two types of options available, a universal subsidy (not means tested) or an income-assessed subsidy which is means tested. You apply for whichever subsidy is more beneficial to you.

Any parents who are interesetd need to go to the government website to get more detailed information and register:

www.ncs.gov.ie

Please note that in order for us to operate the NCS system we will need a CHICK (Childcare identifier code key - which you get once you register with NCS) number from you that is linked to our business and reductions in fees will only apply once we have applied the CHICK number to our system.

For parents availing of the NCS we can no longer offer the possibilty of cancellation before 8pm as this is a government payment and therefore we have to adhere to stricter attendance rules.  Non attendance will be charged the full fee.
