Childcare services are regulated and operate in the public, private and voluntary sectors for children and young people up to the age of 16 years.
These include Local Authority Nurseries that provide pre-school education sessions. These sessions are available to all children in their pre-school (4 years) and ante-pre-school (3 years) years and are also available at Commissioned Partner Nurseries and Playgroups.
