Hertfordshire Family Information Services
Section 12 of the Childcare Act places a duty on local authorities to establish and maintain a service providing information, advice and assistance to parents/carers and prospective parents on the provision of childcare and/or other services or facilities, or publications that may benefit them or their children.
The Family Information Service provides information and guidance on all childcare services and facilities (both registered and unregistered) that are currently available for children 0-19 and up to 25 for young people with disabilities. This also includes information on the nursery education grant, childcare vouchers and childcare cost as well as where parents can go for all types of parent support.
You can find more information at www.hertsdirect.org/fis or call them on 0300 123 4052 or email fis@hertscc.gov.uk
