By supporting and implementing the national strategy for
childcare we aim to ensure that every child gets the best
start in life. We co-ordinate the development of early years
and childcare provision for children aged 0-19 in North
Somerset.
Our wide range of childcare
and
extended services gives parents in North Somerset
more choice and flexibility.
The
Family Information Service provides information,
advice and guidance on all aspects of childcare and extended
services in North Somerset as well as an
Online
Directory where you can find lists of local events,
services, organisations, family support helplines and much
more.
Our childcare development team offers advice, support and
training to all existing and potential providers of early years and
out of school provision. Each year they produce a
training directory listing details of relevant courses and
qualifications available in North Somerset and providers should
book these courses
online. You can download a copy of our
2011-12 training directory (pdf, Oct 11,
