Press release · 2026-09-11 · may be quoted freely, with the source named.

**58 % of Irish creches had at least one non-compliance in their latest published inspection report.**

2026-09-11 — **Creche Inspection Reports** (https://creche-inspection-reports.pages.dev) has read the published Tusla Early Years Inspectorate reports of 4,400 registered creches and pre-schools and put what inspectors found — regulation by regulation, next to each provider's corrective action — on one page per service.

### Figures

- **2,510 of 4,346 services** (57.8 %) had at least one non-compliance in their latest report we read.
- **826 immediate action notices** appear in the reports, concerning 605 services.
- **4 services** have conditions attached to their registration.
- Most frequent non-compliances: Regulation 23 — Safeguarding health, safety and welfare of child (1,969); Regulation 9 — Management and recruitment (1,136); Regulation 29 — Premises (396).

### Why it matters

No creche is required to tell parents what its last inspection found. Tusla publishes every report, but in a search tool with no page per service, as PDFs of a dozen pages each.

### Caveats

An inspection records one day; most findings are corrected, and each provider's response is shown alongside. No personal data is published (no childminders, no contact names). Source: Child and Family Agency (Tusla), re-used under the PSI Licence. Creche Inspection Reports is independent and not affiliated with Tusla.
