Denise, This website is my 'books and leaflets' i.e. pretty much everything I have to offer will show up here so keep checking in. I recently released a cd of all the paperwork required for running a child care facility if that would be of any benefit to you www.childcarepaperwork.com. Other than that, I would say use your local county childcare committee. Their job is to assist, educate and update child care providers. They run lots of courses and workshops so get on their mailing list. And don't forget that when you have your HSE inspections use the report as a guideline for improving your service - that's the whole point of the inspections. Cecilia, As i said to Denise...keep watching the site and reading the articles. Use the links on this page for information: http://www.childcareonly.com/starting-your-business/helpful-links-for-child-care-business-startup-ireland/ But, before you do anything else....do your business plan. 99% of people 'think' about starting a business and many don't take off but you can eliminate the 'thinking' and minimise the 'not taking off' by doing your research and due diligence in the form of a business plan. Good luck Denise & Cecilia,
