MD of Grovelands Childcare in the midlands Regina Bushall says the private sector is willing to help HSE staff.
A midlands childcare provider says the government is not communicating with the sector about re-opening.
The HSE is offering to allow healthcare staff, who don't have a childminder, to work from home on full pay.
Regina Bushell - MD of Grovelands Childcare in the midlands - says the private sector has offered to help with the issue, but says they've yet to receive any guidelines from the government.
She says, while public health is the to priority, the childcare sector needs to start up again:
