On this page you can find published inspection reports for Early Years Services. Early Years Services include:

Childminding services Pre-school services School-age services

 

All childminding and pre-school services are inspected both as part of the registration process and as part of ongoing monitoring. Consequently, each of these services will have at least one published inspection report.

School age services are not currently routinely inspected but are supervised by triggered inspections arising from concerns received by the Inspectorate concerning operation. Therefore, some services will have published reports.

You can search for a service of any kind either by service type or county or, through the advanced search option, by Tusla number, name or Eircode. 

For each service with at least one published report, you can access;

The name and address of a service Details of Childminders / Registered Providers / Persons in charge Published inspection reports (which can be downloaded) Details of registration including any conditions attached to registration Recent inspection dates
