Get your shortlist
We'll send you contact details for several childminders in your area who have space and suit your hours.
Choose and settle in
Meet the childminders, visit their homes and choose. Once care starts, you pay Beag monthly and we pay your childminder.
Home-based care
Childminders look after a small group of children in their own home, so your child enjoys a calm, family setting with plenty of individual attention.
Flexible hours
Whether you need full-time care, a few days a week, before and after school or occasional cover, tell us and we'll look for a good fit.
Local to you
We match you with childminders in your own area, anywhere in Ireland, so drop-offs and pick-ups are easy.
One monthly payment
Beag collects childminding fees each month and passes them on to your childminder, so there's no cash to handle and everything is in one place.
