Trailer released for documentary investigating the standard of creches in Ireland

Rudi Kinsella

“Whose needs are being met here? Certainly not the children. It’s appalling.”

This July, RTÉ One will broadcast an RTÉ Investigates programme, which will examine the standards of childcare in a chain of creches located in Dublin.

RTÉ Investigates liaised throughout this process with independent experts who advised on the matters, to create RTÉ Investigates – Creches, Behind Closed Doors.

The documentary will examine the standard of a number of creches in Dublin, following detailed concerns which were made by a member of the public.

RTÉ Investigates – Creches, Behind Closed Doors will air on RTÉ One at 9.35pm.

The trailer appears to show hidden camera footage of an employee of a creche shouting “This is a business. It’s not baby-sitting.”

Further information in relation to the programme will be released closer to broadcast.

This looks like a must watch.
