Early years and childcare provision

In the years before school, children are exploring where they belong in the world and how much they can control it.

Use the left hand menu to find information on what we can offer to help you and your child get the most out of their early years.

If you are looking for childcare, whether it be nursery places or a childminder, Young Southampton, the website of Southampton Children and Young People's Trust, provides extensive search options which you can access directly using the link in the key online service box above. A variety of information for parents and carers is also available about the different types of childcare, and the support that's on offer to you.
