The Department of Children, Disability and Equality has announced increased Core Funding of โ‚ฌ480 million for 2026/2027, representing a 23% increase on the current programme year.

From September 2026, new maximum fee caps will apply to Core Funding Partner Services, helping to make early learning and childcare more affordable for families. Most services are already operating below these fee caps and will continue under the existing fee freeze arrangements.

The increased investment includes:

An additional โ‚ฌ90 million for Core Funding.
โ‚ฌ21.4 million to support services in meeting fee management requirements.
Up to โ‚ฌ45 million ring-fenced to support future increases in minimum rates of pay for educators and school-age childcare practitioners, subject to Joint Labour Committee negotiations.

The Department has confirmed that enhanced Base Rate funding will help ensure services can remain sustainable while continuing to provide affordable, high-quality early learning and childcare.

Creating language-rich environments in the early years helps to support childrenโ€™s communication, literacy and overall development from birth onwards. ๐Ÿ“š

This helpful resource from Barnardos, โ€œBuilding Little Libraries: Developing the Library Area in Early Learning and Careโ€, explores the importance of providing babies and young children with meaningful opportunities to engage with books, stories, sounds and language in everyday practice.

The resource includes practical guidance on creating engaging library areas, choosing age-appropriate books, supporting early literacy development and fostering a lifelong love of reading.
