For parents

Use the map and search to find childcare providers near you, then send a clear enquiry through MyChildPlace.

How it works

  1. 1) Search on the map

    Use the map, search box, or county filter to find providers in your area. Click a pin to view details.

  2. 2) Open a provider profile

    You’ll see the provider name, location, and service information (where available).

  3. 3) Send an enquiry

    Use the enquiry form to send a structured enquiry through MyChildPlace. The form helps you include useful context so providers can respond more efficiently.

  4. 4) What happens next

    Providers decide whether and when to respond. MyChildPlace does not manage waiting lists, availability, or placements.

About map locations

Map locations are based on publicly available address information and may be approximate. Some pins show an approximate area only. Providers can improve accuracy by claiming their page and adding an Eircode.

Privacy

When you submit an enquiry, the details are recorded by MyChildPlace. If the provider has claimed or manages their profile, the enquiry may be shared with them so they can respond. If the provider has not yet claimed their profile, the enquiry may be stored so they can access it if they claim their listing in the future. Avoid sharing sensitive information that isn’t needed for your enquiry.

Are you a provider?

If you run a childcare service, you can claim your listing to update details and improve map accuracy.
