Choosing childcare
Choosing childcare and early education is a
big step for you and your child. The Family Information
Service is there to help you find the right childcare for your
child, whether they are a baby or child of school age. They
can tell you all about the different types of childcare, what help
is available towards the cost of paying for childcare and a wide
range of other family services and support across West
Sussex. There is also extra support available to parents of
children with a disability or additional needs.
Certain types of childcare must be registered
with Ofsted by law. By choosing to use registered childcare
you can rest assured you are leaving your child in a safe
environment. You will also be able to claim part of your
childcare costs through Tax Credits, if eligible.
We hold childcare information for the West Sussex area
only. If you are looking for childcare in a neighbouring county
please visit our Family Information Service
Map page for details on how to contact your local Family
Information Service.
