Mayo Professional Childminding Sub-Committee
The Mayo Professional Childmining sub-committee was established as a sub-committee under Mayo county childcare Committee. The Professional Chldminding Sub-committee and its work is funded by Mayo County Childcare Committee.
The sub-committee works actively with childminders here in Mayo to promote quality home based childminding. The committee is made up of three childminders who are notified to the HSE and / or 'Voluntary Notified' to Mayo County Childcare Committee, the Childminding Advisory Officer, HSE, Childminding Ireland Development worker and a development worker from Mayo County Childcare Committee. The committee have successfully run three information nights around funding for childminders and including children with special needs in childminding services. The Mayo Professional Childminding Committee have also successfully run training events around the county and have been engaged at promoting the importance of becoming either Notified or Voluntary Notified. Mayo Professional Childminding sub-committee are committed to supporting chidminders to improve the quality of their services to enrich the lives of the children they mind. It is child centred and is continuously involved in events that promote the professional services that notified and voluntary notified childminders provide in their communities.
