Welcome to your 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 borough. 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.
Help with costs
We also have the latest information about help with childcare costs and can advise you about applying for Child Tax Credit, Working Tax Credit and the childcare element of WTC. We can also advise and help you register for the free childcare entitlement for two year olds, which is a new scheme for children with parents who are unemployed or on low incomes and the three and four year old free entitlement which is a national scheme for all three and four year olds.
Childcare providers
We support existing childcare providers with business development and promotion. Visit our dedicated section 'For providers'.
Young people
We provide information for young people aged 11-19. 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.
