Welcome to your Family Information Service
Ealing Children’s Information Service has now changed its name to Family Information Service (FIS).
We are here to help you access all kinds of information and services for children and young people 0-19years within the London Borough of Ealing.
Parents and carers
Search for childcare in your local area. We hold information on all Ofsted registered childcare providers in the London Borough of Ealing. If you have trouble finding suitable childcare - please get in touch and we can advise you.
We have legislative information from Ofsted in relation to childcare provision and the Department for Children Schools and Families, safeguarding children etc.
We also have the latest information about help with childcare costs and can advise you about applying for Working Tax Credit, the Childcare Element and Child Tax Credit as well as the Childcare Affordability Programme and other schemes to help parents pay for childcare.
Young people
We provide information for young people aged 14-19. This includes a range of useful leaflets, as well as helpful signposting to local services including support groups, counselling, sports, clubs, education and much more.
Childcare providers
We support existing childcare providers and people looking to register as a childminder or a group setting.
