Further childcare information

• For information about what help with childcare costs you might be entitled to, see our paying for childcare page or for your rights as working parents see our Employment and Training section.
• Unpaid childcare arrangements between friends are legally exempt from Ofsted registration and inspection (PDF, 68KB)  under legislation. This means friends caring for each others children without payment are no longer included within the remit of Ofsted.

Help with your search for childcare

You can contact the Family Information Service and we can search for childcare near the school your children go to, by miles radius from your postcode, or in the area where you live or work.  We can make the information is specific for you, for example, if you need term time only, if your child has particular needs or if the childcare is needed flexibly.
