ORGANISERS of a Ferryhill roadshow are hoping their displays will help recruit more childminders in the town.

Durham County Council's Childcare Information Service (CIS) will be holding the event at Ferryhill Library on Monday, June 9, from 10am to 3pm.

There is a shortage of childminders in the Ferryhill area and the authority is hoping potential carers will attend.

The roadshow will also be able to provide information to anyone looking for quality childcare.

Through the CIS, people can get advice on training, grants, career opportunities, childcare and education facilities.

For more information about childcare, call the CIS on 0845 6024469.
