Childcare

Looking for childcare?

The Family Information Service (FIS) operates a database of all the registered childcare providers in the Dudley borough.

They also hold information on leisure groups for children from birth to 20. The database  also includes childminders, day nurseries, playgroups, toddler groups, creches, play schemes after school clubs and leisure groups. Further information is available on Tax Credits and Employers Childcare Subsidies.

They work closely with the childcare training co-ordinator, the recruitment co-ordinator and the childcare development team to promote good quality affordable and accessible childcare. The FIS also work with the Ofsted Early Years Directorate to ensure that the information we give is both up to date and accurate.

FIS are open for telephone enquires from 9am to 5pm on weekdays and have 24-hour answer phone facility. In addition to this you can email them via an online form or contact  through Dudley Council Plus on 0300 555 2345.
 
All information can be made available in large print, audio or other languages by request.

Non-English speaking parents and carers can also ask questions about childcare in over 100 languages by ringing the language line operated by Daycare Trust.
