Family Support NI - Using our Childcare Search

Family Support NI is the central government register of Registered and Approved Childcare Providers throughout Northern Ireland.

FSNI work closely with the Early Years Teams within the Health and Social Care Trusts, who are responsible for registering and inspecting childcare providers. They inform FSNI of newly registered or ceased childcare providers, and any changes to their details.

FSNI also work with childcare providers to provide as much detail as possible on the service they provide (including current vacancy information), to try to make it as easy as possible for parents or carers to find suitable childcare to meet theirs and their children's needs.
