Family Information Directory - Leicestershire

The Family Information Service is co-ordinating the Leicestershire Family Information Directory (FID). FID (formly known as Parent Know How directory - PKHD) is an extensive online directory offering parents and those working with them the ability to search for information about childcare and services for families with children aged 0-20 years in their local community, other areas and nationally. This information will be available to view free of charge.

Parenting Top Tips

Parenting can be one of the most challenging and rewarding experiences in life, but there is no perfect way of doing it!
Parents and carers themselves need support.  It is often difficult to know what is best for your family. It is a responsible parent or carer who looks and asks for information and advice when it is needed.
Leicestershire Parenting Top-Tips is an electronic handbook containing information and advice on a range of family and parenting issues that can help you make informed decisions. It is split in to three age ranges 0-5 years, 5-13 years and 13-19 years. The top-tips have five broad themes that cover lots of subjects and issues that families face.
Please click on the Parenting Top Tips. They are there for you.
Please note that Leicestershire Family Information Service does not endorse or recommend any of the organisations featured on the website. It is the responsibility of all users who choose to use these services to ensure their suitability and quality.
