Haringey's Childcare Brokerage Service - help looking for childcare
Our Childcare Brokerage Service supports parents and carers who are experiencing difficulty in finding suitable childcare for children aged 0-14 and young people up to 18 years old if they have Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities (SEND).
Further information about SEND support and services can be found on our Local Offer Support and Services page.
The Childcare Brokerage Service is a free service for all parents and carers, but we will prioritise cases according to need.

The service can help families who:
- need support finding a free entitlement place for their 2, 3 or 4-year-old child

- are caring for a child with support needs other than SEND
- are worried about approaching childcare providers or schools themselves
- wish to return to work, study or training but are finding childcare a barrier
What we do
The service can work with and support parents, carers and providers by:
- offering individual support, advice and guidance on childcare options and the benefits of different types of childcare
- contacting childcare providers on behalf of parents and carers to check for vacancies
- working with parents and carers and identified childcare providers to support children with specific support needs to access a place
- building partnerships with all types of childcare providers to meet the needs
