Meanwhile, another Galway creche explained why it has left the government’s funding contract to go it alone and hike its fees.
Sheena Kenny closed the doors of her creche this week, labelling the Early Childhood Care and Education "death by a thousand cuts".
It brought increased paperwork and Kenny had to largely stop working directly with the children herself, instead spending her days in the office.
An increase in fees to cover running costs meant parents started putting their child in other larger, cheaper creches, which she couldn't compete with.
