Childcare Providers

Reading Family Information Service

Find out about the diffrent types of childcare providers in the Reading area.

We are the only official organisation that holds Ofsted registered childcare provider information in Reading (e.g. childminders, day nurseries, pre-schools, after school clubs, breakfast clubs, holiday clubs, creches), which is updated daily onto our system.

THIS IS A FREE SERVICE FOR FAMILIES AND CHILDCARE PROVIDERS.


This means that we provide the most up to date information for families ensuring that the childcare information they receive is always for providers who are currently registered, eliminating any possibility of details of providers suspended or resigned (who are no longer Ofsted registered) being sent to families looking for childcare. Giving families peace of mind in the knowledge that they are in receipt of accurate information regarding the childcare for their children.


Ofsted has uploaded four short films about the early years, these can be viewed in the sections below.
