The Oxfordshire Children's Information Service website will give you information on registered childminders, nurseries, pre-school groups, toddler groups, holiday play schemes and interest groups. 

The Oxfordshire Playbus runs sessions on converted buses to help children and families to play together, participate in arts and crafts, make friends and have fun. The buses also have computers which can be used to teach computing skills to adults and the sensory bus brings a multi-sensory environment to disabled children.
