One year on from shocking creche exposé, nothing has changed — Start Strong

Almost nothing has changed since the shocking PrimeTime report detailing mistreatment in crèches was broadcast 12 months ago, according to early education group Start Strong.

The undercover report raised serious concerns about the level of care being offered in some crèches, featuring scenes of children being manhandled, shouted at and restrained.

Yet Ciairín de Buis, director of Start Strong, said despite pledges at the time to overhaul the sector, those hopes had not been met.
