Family Information Service

General information

About us
As well as offering advice to parents, carers, grandparents, professionals and employers on a range of children's activities and childcare services we can point you in the right direction if you are looking for local parent-toddler groups.

We can also tell you about services that provide support to parents and carers of children and young people, who have, or may have special needs, behaviour or emotional difficulties.

Our service also includes information about clubs, youth clubs, sports and leisure activities, Brownies, Boys Brigade and much more!

Providers of childcare services can register and include information on the FIS database free of charge and obtain information on training opportunities. Please contact us to register.
