National childcare scheme (NCS)
We accept the NCS to help dramatically reduce the cost of after-school childcare. From September 2024, the flat rate that every parent is entitled to will be €2.14 per hour; however, this may be higher depending on your own personal circumstances.  When you apply for your Pp0 award, you will receive a CHICK number, which is all we need to get started.
