Paying for childcare: NCS and ECCE

Every Tusla-registered service can tell you whether it takes part in the National Childcare Scheme (NCS), which lowers weekly fees, and the free preschool ECCE scheme. You can also read how to read a Tusla inspection report. CrecheFinder does not list fees for these services yet: ask the service when you enquire.
