Poole parents are being offered the opportunity to come and find out about a whole range of children's facilities that are available in the local area.

On Sunday 30 September, the Borough of Poole's Children's Information Service will be at Mothercare, Falkland Square, to give out information and advice on playgroups, childminders, nurseries, toy libraries, parent and toddler groups, 'out of school' clubs and much more!

Leaflets and advice will also be available on the new Working Families Tax Credit and Nursery Education Grants, as well as details on choosing childcare as a career and relevant training opportunities and grants.

Sue Willcocks, Early Years and Childcare Co-ordinator, Borough of Poole, said: "The week-end is an ideal time for busy parents to discuss their childcare needs so this is a great opportunity to show them what's on offer whilst on a shopping trip to Poole! We have a lots of information available and hope that our advice point in Mothercare will be popular. We certainly look forward to telling people about the excellent facilities Poole can offer."
