The number of services that have only signed an ECCE funding agreement is outlined in the table below. While these services do not have contracts with my Department for the provision of other funded early learning and childcare schemes, such as the NCS and the CCSP Saver Programme, they may be providing additional early learning and childcare services to parents on a fee paying basis. If they are providing additional services, they would not be an ECCE only service. My Department does not collect data from providers on private early learning and childcare arrangements.
With regard to services who have entered into contracts with my Department for subsidy schemes other than ECCE, the data is also outlined in the table below.
Funding outlined below is as advised by Pobal the administrators of the schemes on behalf of my Department. It is all funding paid under all childcare funded schemes including for example Capital and AIM.
