Ms Bernie McNally:
Much of the discussion today has revolved around centre-based childcare, but many parents choose to use childminders. Childminding has, to date, been a very unregulated profession. The Minister, Deputy Zappone, is considering an action plan to look at how we can support childminders to become registered such that they can also access the national childcare scheme and improve access, affordability and quality.
