‘Childcare & Family Support NI’

June 2014

As part of Bright Start, the Executive’s Strategy for Affordable and Integrated Childcare, the Health and Social Care Board, in partnership with the DHSSPS, has developed a FREE childcare and family support App.

This app allows people to search for registered and approved childcare provision, and family support services throughout Northern Ireland on their smartphone. The aim of the childcare search on the app is to make it easier for parents to identify childcare that meets their individual requirements. The FSNI team receive monthly updates from Early Years Teams in the Trusts about changes to early year’s provision within each area to ensure that all childcare providers listed on this app are registered or approved by Health and Social Care Trusts…….
