Testimonials
“I rang the FIS to ask about after school childcare, holiday childcare and funding, and also how to apply for this. The team has an exceptional amount of knowledge, and they helped me straightaway. They are very respectful, they listen, and they are approachable. They want to help. I have recommended them to my friends.”
“You guys really helped me out, sent me lists of available childcare in my area so I may go back to work and college. I have recommended you to other parents.”
“I contacted them, as I wanted a nursery using the medium of Welsh for my son. They got back to me really quickly. They also told me about the Childcare Offer. The team is so helpful, I just phone them.”
