advice for a Welsh parent please

[ChocolateChip]

A Welsh friend of mine has asked for advice for her sister, who is still living in Wales (not sure which area).
Could anyone give me info on any websites or phone numbers that a parent can find cm's on, the poor lady is a bit stressed as her mil who used to look after her children has recently passed away and she is a bit worried about finding childcare as she hasn't had to do it before and understandably is a bit worried about how the children will settle after all the upset so wants a home environment rather than nursery and school clubs.
Sorry if this is a stupid question but are there regional information services she could contact?
Thanks in advance!

As the others have said she needs to contact the Family Information Service for her local council. She can either ring the council and they will transfer her or give her the corect number or do a web search puttin FIS & her county in. The local FIS offices hold all the info about the childminders in the county.
