Early Years and Childcare Service
Devon County Council Early Years and Childcare Service supports the expansion and improvement of services for children across Devon.
There has been a great deal of development in these services in recent years and with the advent of the Childcare Act 2006 this rate of development will continue.
If you are a Parent or Carer, work with (or would like to work with) children, provide (or would like to provide) a service for children – or if you are under 16 – this site will be of interest to you.
