Register of Interest Form

The Childminding pre-registration training is a mandatory course for anyone who intends to register with Tusla for a childminding service.
A childminding service involves an individual taking care, by themself, of children under the age of 15 years, for payment, in the childminder’s home. A childminder is self-employed and provides a paid childcare service for a minimum of 2 hours a day in their own home.
If you are employed by a child’s parents and you look after the child/children in their home, you cannot register as a childminder.
If you only mind children who are closely related to you, e.g. your grandchildren or nieces/nephews, you do not need to register as a childminder.

To take this training course you must be:

  • 18 years old or over
  • Self-employed and providing a paid childcare service in your own home
  • Either currently working as a childminder and intending to register with Tusla, or intending to work as a childminder and register with Tusla
If you are unsure as to whether or not you are eligible to register with Tusla, contact your local Childminding Development Officer for information and support.
