The Family Information Zone provides quality, accessible and impartial information and guidance on the full range of childcare services, resources and issues, led by the needs of children and their families, carers, employers, local government and other agencies.

FIZ is a signposting service and gives enquiries as much information as possible to help them make their own informed choices. We offer additional support if requested, but do not make recommendations.

FIZ holds up-to-date, comprehensive and accurate information about local childcare provision, so we are able to respond to your needs. We are able to assist in helping you make informed decisions – whether you are a parent, a young person, a service provider or an employer.

FIZ has carefully monitored selection of childcare information taken from our database, which is displayed on the National Childcare Information Internet Site.

FIZ has a bank of information, which is constantly expanding – the more enquiries we receive, the more knowledge we will have and the more we will be able to pass on to others.

If you do not find the information you are looking for in this file please contact us. This is only part of the information we hold and can research any issue regarding children 0-16 years old.
