It should be acknowledged that Fareham Borough Council is unable to recommend or endorse any childcare provider listed on our web-site. Parents should ensure that they check their preferred choice of provision and that it meets their children's needs and parents expectations. Our role is to develop, enable and publicise local childcare opportunities.
