Emergency Childcare
Emergency Nurseries
For children aged 3 months up to 5 years
As a parent of nursery age children, you need a backup plan for when your usual childcare arrangements fall through.
After all, friends and family are not always available at the last minute.
Leaving your child in safe hands
The majority of nurseries you'll find on our website have been used and recommended by individual parents. If there's a local nursery or childminder you would like to be able to use that isn't registered with us, please let us know.
Nurseries booked through Emergency Childcare are regulated by the HSE.
Access to HSE-regulated nurseries
You can book a local nursery place for your child with qualified, trained, and screened practitioners.
Preparing for life's little emergencies
Parents that are registered with us often take the time to research their available options prior to booking.
- Search for their local nurseries (and childminders)
- Save favourite nurseries for future reference
- Arrange to visit any nurseries they're interested in
- Suggest other nurseries that could join our scheme
- Book a nursery space when it's needed
