Put the daily care block, booking commitment and pilot period on one worksheet. Mark confirmed dates and take the remaining questions to the operator.

Review EduNanny’s childminding pilot eligibility, 5- and 10-hour fees, subscription and day-use care, and the questions to settle before enrolment.

One ECDA document test, then three different checks for a pilot childminder, a licensed infant care centre and a private carer in your own home.

At a licensed centre, an incident must be reported to you. Preschools need not keep CCTV beyond 30 days, so a written request should go out early.

The ECDA childminding pilot publishes a one-to-three limit per childminder. For licensed infant care centres, staffing sits inside a framework you can check.

The August 2026 operator grant and the reported S$300 infant care fee target for 2030 change neither childminding pilot fees nor today’s terms.

MSF says there are no current plans for more POP 3.0 operator appointments, so budget a 2027 preschool place on today’s caps, not announced cuts.

Funded training pays part of a course bill. Only an ECDA-approved certification level names the age group an educator may be deployed to teach.

Part of ‘trained for infant care’ is officially checkable. Here is how to verify a caregiver’s qualification, and which document proves it.

A five-part care fit note helps families describe an infant’s everyday support needs, ask focused questions about care and identify what must be confirmed before considering a pilot arrangement.
