Childcare Assistance Fund (CAF) 2023/2024
What is the Childcare Assistance Fund?
It is funding designed to support students who are parents with childcare expenses using the childcare services at our on-campus creche while studying at our Tallaght campus.
The students are generally from socio-economically disadvantaged backgrounds. The funding will be targeted to support full or part-time students who are lone parents as per the guidelines of the overall Student Assistance Funding as published by the Higher Education Authority.

The Early Years’ service at Oakview Tallaght is not only open to families of students based on campus but also to families of the wider community. There are some spaces available at present.
The service caters for children from 3 months to 6 years and offers a number of Government subsidised Childcare schemes such as USC, CCSP and TEC. These schemes offer subsidised rates for working parents, students and also for those seeking employment.
