Did you know that all 3 and 4 year olds are entitled to free early education sessions?
On the Childcarelink website you can get online information about different types of childcare including:
- Childminders
- Day nurseries
- Out of school clubs
- Holiday childcare
- Pre-School playgroups
Not all childcare providers allow their details to be displayed on the internet. Please contact the Families Information Service and we can carry out a personalised childcare search and send you a list that suits your needs, including childcare:
- that drops off at and collects from the school your children attend within a specified mile radius of your home, work or other address
- that has experience of working with children with additional needs
- that provides free early education places for 3 & 4 year olds located in a specific village
- that is open early mornings, evenings, overnight or weekends
