Setting up provisions

If you're starting a new nursery, playgroup, out of school club, holiday scheme or becoming a childminder this information is for you.

The Early Years and Childcare Service are responsible for ensuring sufficient early years and childcare places across the city.

For further advice and support regarding setting up a new provision, contact the Sufficiency and Entitlement team.
