The Family Information Directory, which provides details of more than 192,000 nurseries, childminders, after-school clubs and children's centres, was developed and managed by the DfE under a three-year contract.
It was introduced in 2009 as Parent Know How, a comprehensive source of registered childcare and family services information, before it was rebranded as the Family Information Directory last year (News, 4 February 2010).
Users will continue to be able to access information from local authority websites, DirectGov, libraries, children's centres and a range of third and private sector websites. The DfE is also releasing the software for organisations to develop their own version.
