The National Association of Family Information Services (NAFIS) is a registered charity that supports, links and promotes Family Information Services (FIS) in Great Britain. NAFIS represents a network of quality Family Information Services across England, Wales & Scotland. NAFIS is advised by a Steering Group. |
In June 2011, NAFIS merged with Daycare Trust and we are now working together to support families through local Family Information Services (FIS). FIS are a vital resource for parents, ensuring that they have reliable information about childcare in their local area, someone they can speak to about their childcare needs and access to extra support to find and take up the right childcare through brokerage services.
This section has information and resources for families and professionals about Family Information Services.
