Finding Childcare in your area

Until recently there was a single government website where you could look up the childcare opportunities in your local area.   This still exists in Scotland but not for England.  We list all the English contacts and also the single one for Scotland - Wales to be added soon

So Fair Play for Children has created this webpage so you can look up which authority covers your area and then find the web link to take you to the pages you need.

Or  FIND YOUR FAMILY INFORMATION SERVICE 

click on the logo       [leaves this site]

If you are not sure which Council, use the Post Code Search  

Find Your Local Social/Children's Services Council    This is a DirectGov Postcode Finder.   In England, this may show 2 Councils for your area - use the County Council

Now find the local authority for your area and click on the childcare link.  Click here for Scotland
