Abstract
Ireland is experiencing an unprecedented demand for childcare provision. There are several reasons for this including: The increase in the number of families with both parents working; The increase in the number of single parent families; Greater awareness of the benefits of quality childcare for children and their families; More parents returning to work, training and education; Growth in community development programmes, initiating or supporting childcare programmes at local level; State funding for local development.
