Early feedback from parents and creche operators using the platform
I used to spend hours filling out the same details on different creche websites. Now I just do it once and apply everywhere nearby.

We were managing our waitlist in a spreadsheet and constantly fielding calls from parents. This has genuinely made things easier for our small team.

The hardest part of finding childcare was not knowing where we stood. Being able to see our status without chasing anyone is a huge relief.

We saw how stressful the creche waitlist process is — for parents repeating the same forms everywhere, and for creches buried in admin. We built Childcare Waitlist to fix that. A simpler, fairer way to connect families with childcare across Ireland.
Four core features that make the creche waitlist process work for everyone.
Parents enter their family's details once and store them securely. No more repeating information for every creche — just apply to as many as you like from a single profile.
Enter your Eircode and instantly see creches near you. We match you with local options so you can focus on what matters — finding the right fit for your child.
No more wondering. Parents receive updates when their application status changes — whether it's an offer, a waitlist move, or a new opening. Creches notify without lifting a finger.
Creches get a clean, intuitive dashboard to manage every application, update availability, and communicate with parents — without the spreadsheets, sticky notes, or endless phone calls.
Whether you're a parent looking for the right childcare or a creche looking to simplify your admin — getting started takes less than a minute.
