The Northern Childcare Partnership is a partnership of Voluntary and Statutory Agencies working together in the Northern Health and Social Services Board area. The partnership aims to take forward locally the Government's Childcare strategy 'Children First' for enhancing childcare provision, a copy of the strategy can be found on the publications page.
This provision includes pre-school play groups, out of school hours childcare, child minders, day-care facilities and crèche facilities for children aged 0-14.
It is a requirement of 'Children First' that a Childcare Partnership be established in each Health and Social Services Board Area in Northern Ireland, and they devise and implement a three year Childcare Plan for their area.
