#TogetherForPublic #DriveTime #Childcare

NWC recommends that the Government allocate €30 million in Budget 2026 to start a national roll-out of publicly-delivered early childhood education and care services.

This includes: €30m for initial rollout of publicly-delivered services, increase investment in affordability and accessibility measures, including reducing costs, and in targeted supports like Equal Start and AIM and ring-fenced wages for educators.

In our Pre-Budget Submission for Budget 2026, NWC is calling for an additional €300 million investment in early years to properly resource the sector

The only way to ensure affordability for parents and secure quality, accessible places for every child is a public system of early childhood education and care for #EveryChild.

Providers continue to leave State schemes, many areas have severe shortages of places, and the sector is held together by an undervalued and underpaid workforce.
