Important change with the ECCE Programme Rules – Compliance
1.4.1 Pre-Registration Form
The Pre-Registration Form must be given to all Parents/Guardians whose child/children will be in attendance in the ELC or childminding service. The information is used by the ECCE Approved Provider to register the details on the EY HIVE and the Parent/Guardian signs this form to give
consent to the DCDE, the Scheme Administrator, the Department of Social Protection and the DEY, to use this information to verify that the child/children are eligible, to calculate funding, and for statistical purposes.
The Pre-Registration Form must be retained for the 2025/2026 programme year for compliance purposes.
