Longford County Childcare Committee hosted a Breathwork session with Trish McHugh at BeWell Yoga Studio on Saturday, October 17 to celebrate National Childminding Week (October 19 - 23 ).
Childminders play a vital role in towns, villages and communities across Longford. They support parents to work, study and train, while giving children enriching early learning experiences in a safe, nurturing home-from-home environment.
As demand for high-quality childcare continues to grow, the contribution of childminders has never been more important.
National Childminding Week is a chance to raise awareness of childminding and to celebrate the dedication childminders show every day. It also promotes childminding as a high-quality childcare option, one that offers flexibility, continuity of care and the comfort of a home setting, with benefits that reach well beyond the family.
