You may recall back in the August edition of the Childcare Provider e-Bulletin, an article about our plans to publish details about childcare providers on Dewis Cymru.
Dewis Cymru is a national website that contains information about over 6000 local and national services throughout Wales and is widely promoted as the one-stop-shop for families to access information about organisations and services, including childcare.
We are pleased to confirm that this work has been completed and information about your service is now available on Dewis.
There are a few things we now need you to do.
We have created your record on Dewis using information we already hold about your service. It is your responsibility to make sure that the information published about your service is correct. To check the record visit the FIS Wales website.

Moving forward you will be required to update your Dewis record yourself. To do this you will need to register for a Dewis account. Instructions on how to do this are provided below.
If you feel you need support with this, please email fis@caerphilly.gov.uk and we can assist you. In the meanwhile, any changes you need to your record, we can do for you.
Once you have created your Dewis account, you can update your record as often as you like. However, you will need to verify at least every six months that the information published about your service is correct. The record will be hidden from public view until you do this. This verification is due in January 2022 so please create your Dewis account by the end of December 2021 to ensure your service remains advertised.
