Childcare Community Business Limited, trading as Treasure Tots Nursery, was awarded Dormant Accounts funding of €28,500 under Round 4 of the Dormant Accounts RAPID Additionality Measure in July 2009. The grant has been used to deliver accredited training in High/Scope to key staff in child care and preschool facilities in Dublin 10. The contract for the Dormant Accounts funding will expire on 30 July 2012. The Dormant Accounts Fund is not a source of mainstream funding and cannot of its nature be regarded as a source of indefinite funding for specific projects. In this regard, the long-term sustainability of this particular project is a matter for the service provider and the relevant statutory agencies.
