Ireland with proof of insurance and your subscription
fee of €55. Alternatively, you can call us to request
an application pack which we will send you through the
post. Please note that you can pay for your membership
by using a Credit card or Debit card by calling us on

Public Liability Insurance is
a necessary part of Registered Childminder status, and
Childminding Ireland recommends that you avail
of the specially tailored Childminding
Group Insurance Scheme available through Kidd Insurances
(01) 207 9400. Alternatively public liability insurance
from your home insurance provider may be acceptable for
Registered Childminder membership. However, please be
aware that cover may apply for a lesser number of children
and only whilst the children are in the home.

Childminding Ireland will liaise
directly with Kidd Insurance if you have opted for the
Group Insurance Scheme, but we will require a copy of
any alternative insurance policy before processing your
membership.
Medical Clearance from
your family doctor is also required for Registered Childminder
status, therefore your GP is required to stamp and sign
the Application Form.

General Membership If
you are thinking of becoming a Childminder or if you are
studying childcare qualifications, you can become a General
Member of Childminding Ireland by completing our
General
Member Application Form and paying a fee of €20.
Car Insurance You
must inform your car insurance provider that you are operating
a Childminding service or you risk invalidating your insurance
cover. Childminding Ireland has negotiated a group
motor insurance scheme, designed for Childminders which
offers a substantial group discount. For further information,
contact Kidd Insurance on (01) 207 9400.
