Schemes Offered by Beehyve

Beehyve Creche

Beehyve Creche operates the ECCE Scheme. This provides subsidised rates of childcare for two years before your child starts primary school. The scheme runs on a pro rata basis, based on the number of days your child attends the service. The subvention is deducted from your regular weekly or monthly fees and you pay the balance. The scheme runs for 5 days a week for 38 weeks starting in September and finishing at the end of June.

Training and Employment Childcare Programmes

YMCA Childcare Beehyve Creche offers funded childcare services under the TEC programme for ETB/VTOS/Solus and Momentum students.The objective of the TEC Programmes is to support parents on eligible training courses and eligible categories of parents returning to work, by providing funded childcare places. There are three TEC Programmes as follows:

1. Childcare Education and Training Support programme (CETS)

The CETS Programme formerly catered for FAS and VEC training course participants and now provides childcare on behalf of the Local Education and Training Boards and Solas.

2. After-School Child Care programme (ASCC)

The ASCC is administered on behalf of the Department of Social Protection (DSP) and provides after school care for primary school children for certain categories of working parents and parents on DSP employment programmes, excluding Community Employment.

3. Community Employment Childcare programme (CEC)

The CEC is administered on behalf of the Department of Social Protection (DSP) and provides childcare for children of parents who are participating on Community Employment schemes.

CCS Universal

The childcare subsidy is available to all children aged from 6 months to the first eligible point of entry to the ECCE programme. This scheme is administered via an enhancement to the CCS scheme.
The maximum weekly universal childcare subsidy is €20. As CCS subsidies are currently paid according to session type, i.e. full-time, part-time, sessional, half-sessional, this maximum weekly universal subsidy rate of €20 will be paid on a pro-rata basis according to session type.
