Early Years Education, Funding & Childcare

Choosing the right childcare provider for your child is an important decision, so it's a good idea to get as much information as possible before deciding what's best for you and your child.

There are several different options for pre-school childcare:

• Childminders
• Pre-schools
• Day Nurseries
• Nannies (Home Childcarer)
• Nanny & Au Pair Agencies
• Out of School Childcare

Childcare for Children with additional needs

All registered childcare providers work within the SEND Code of Practice and offer an inclusive service.  Our search filters list providers who have specific SEND experience and have completed a SEND Local Offer form – this is indicated by a red ‘Local Offer’ flag in the top right corner of the search records.  Most childcare providers will be happy to discuss your child's needs and accommodate wherever possible.  However, if you are struggling to find the right childcare to meet your child’s need, please contact the Family Information Service directly on fis@bracknell-forest.gov.uk.
