Chaperone service (ChildcareLink)

The Government launched the ChildcareLink helpline and website in December 1999 as part of the National Childcare Strategy. This strategy aims to help people back into the workplace by removing the childcare barrier. The ChildcareLink service is funded by the Department for Education and Skills and the Scottish Executive.

The ChildcareLink Service provides access to childminders, day nurseries and other childcare services.
