Childcare in Warrington - Have your say!

As of April 2008 The Child Care Act 2006 places duties on authorities to improve outcomes for young children and reduce inequalities between them. Local Authorities are required to secure sufficient childcare to enable parents to work and to provide information to parents about childcare and a wide range of other services that may be of benefit to them.

Warrington Borough Council, Families Information Service (FIS) is conducting a survey on the quality and the availability of childcare in Warrington and the FIS would welcome your comments as a service user or prospective service user. All information will remain confidential to the childcare team (FIS).
