Information on financial help for families

If you need help paying for childcare or want to know about the range of financial help available to families then contact the Family Information Service (formally the Children's Information Service).

As well as providing information on the three and four year old nursery funding, Child Tax Credit, employer subsidies and general help for students, we can also give advice to working parents about maximising income.
