Celebrating 1 Year of Pathway Fund – Stream C
We’re marking the first anniversary of The Pathway Fund Stream C, launched in April 2025 to support registered Childminders and Approved Home Childcarers (AHCs) across Northern Ireland.
With awards of up to £500 available for equipment/resources and training, this funding has:
Enhanced experiences and outcomes for children aged 0–4
Supported the ongoing professional development of home‑based childcare providers
Strengthened the quality of childcare provision across the sector
Over the past year, Stream C has demonstrated the real impact of targeted investment in childminding, helping to create enriching, high‑quality environments where young children can thrive.
A huge thank you to all childminders and AHCs who have made the most of this opportunity and continue to deliver exceptional care every day.
