Childcare finding service
It is best if parents can make their own decisions about childcare but Brent Children and Families Information Service may be able to help if you are having difficulties in finding the right providers.
We can ring nurseries, childminders and out of school childcare providers on your behalf to find vacancies, taking your budget and where you need the childcare into account.
We cannot guarantee success on every occasion but we aim to make you up to three offers of assistance.
You can also find childcare our local online directory:
Flexible working
If you cannot find childcare because you are being asked to work at awkward times, you may have the right to request flexible working hours if you have a child under six years old or 18 if the child has a disability covered under this scheme.
Visit the Working Families Family Zone for up to date advice on how to request flexible working.
If you are having difficulty finding the childcare you want please make an appointment by contacting the Children and Families Information Service.
