We calculate an approximate straight-line distance between the provider's registered location and this area's centre point. Always confirm actual travel time directly with the provider.
Are online providers included?
Yes — providers offering online or nationwide delivery are included regardless of physical distance, since location isn't a barrier to accessing their provision.
Does inclusion in this list mean a provider is approved?
No. Inclusion is not a safeguarding or quality endorsement — see each provider's verification status and carry out your own due diligence.
