Swindon Sure Start Partnership maintains and provides information to parents about childcare and family services in Swindon. The Department for Children schools and Families (DCSF) is introducing a new national system where parents can search for childcare and family services called the Parent Know How Directory. Details of registered childcarers will be available from the directory directly from Ofsted during a transition period while Swindon connects with the new service. Once this has been completed further local information about family services will be developed.
Parents and carers can find local information about the different types of registered childcare on this site at:
A series of leaflets to help parents make childcare choices is available for download at:
To search for registered childcare provision go to the Parent Know How Directory at: http://childcarefinder.direct.gov.uk/childcarefinder
While Swindon is developing information on the Parent Know How Directory parents can continue to search for family services at http://www.childrenyoungpeoplesservices.co.uk
