Dublin City Childcare Committee CLG (DCCC) was established in 2002 and is one of 30 City and County Childcare Committees operating nationally. Funded directly by the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth (DCEDIY) to develop, support and enhance early learning and care and school-age childcare services within the remit of Dublin City. We also work with home based Childminders, providing information and advice on setting up a Childminding service and supporting them to become Voluntary Notified. DCCC work proactively and in partnership with the sector to encourage best practice, quality, sustainable and effective Early Learning and Care and School-Age Childcare services for children.  We also work with parents and families to provide support and advice in sourcing the best possible early learning and care solution to meet their family's needs and circumstances. We are the first point of contact for anyone seeking advice, information or support in relation to early childhood care and education within Dublin City.
