Afterschool care in Dublin, FAQs

How many afterschool services are there in Dublin?

Our directory lists 77 afterschool profiles in Dublin, across 29 towns. A separate section links to 255 existing creche profiles with school-age registrations in the cited Tusla register edition. These are not live vacancy listings. This directory is not the complete Tusla school-age register. Confirm current registration, ages, hours and availability with the service.

What is a school-age (afterschool) service?

A school-age service provides care for children attending primary school, outside of school hours. That includes breakfast clubs, after-school collection and care, and full-day cover during school holidays. Many are run alongside a creche or in a community centre.

Can I use the NCS subsidy for afterschool care?

Yes. Tusla-registered school-age services can offer NCS-subsidised places. Parents apply for the National Childcare Scheme at ncs.gov.ie and the subsidy is applied to the service's fees.

Are the afterschool services listed in Dublin Tusla-registered?

The afterschool profiles come from Tusla school-age service records. The separate creche links cite the school-age register edition and publication date shown beside them. Neither section confirms live availability. Always confirm current registration on the official register and contact the service before making arrangements.
