CHILDMINDING ANNUAL SURVEY: Childminding Ireland's Annual Survey is now open, and we need to hear your voice! We encourage each and every one of you to take a few moments to get involved and share your valuable insights. Your feedback can make a significant impact by helping us identify key concerns and influence decision-makers. In addition, it will enable us to better understand how we can assist and support you effectively. This year we have two separate surveys, one for childminders who work in their own home and the second for nannies who work in the child’s home.To access the surveys that we estimate will take 6 minutes, simply select the link that applies to you:Childminder: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/N9L2NZ8
