The Children’s Information Service aims to provide up-to-date and relevant information. To do this we would like your help and suggestions:

• Are there any children’s activities/clubs/events that you know about and think other parents would like to know about?
• Have you got any events going on that you would like us to attend or put on the website?
• Have you set up a parent and toddler group in your area?
• What else you would like from our website?
• Would you like the information in other formats rather than just text?

Whatever your suggestions please email or phone Gaynor to let her know.
