Childcare Sufficiency

This survey is for schools in Redbridge to provide data for the Childcare Sufficiency Assessment 2024. It will also enable us to map current provision as part of our work on the Wraparound Childcare Scheme from the DfE (more information at https://educationhub.blog.gov.uk/2023/10/27/before-and-after-school-childcare-what-is-wraparound-childcare/).

The information you give will be invaluable and here are some of the ways this information can help:

• Accurate data and analysis within the Childcare Sufficiency Assessment (CSA) 2024
• Respond to the annual Coram Family and Childcare Trust Surveys that help monitor childcare costs and sufficiency across England (subject to a Freedom of Information request to local authorities)
• Support the implementation of the DfE's Wraparound Childcare Scheme 

This survey is for all providers offering childcare and early education to children and young people aged 0-14 years.

The information you give will be invaluable and here are some of the ways this information can help:

• Accurate data and analysis within the Childcare Sufficiency Assessment (CSA) 2024
• We can share data with prospective businesses looking to open in Redbridge to ensure they know where we are already sufficient, or over sufficient
• Support existing provides who may be planning changes to their current provision
• Respond to the annual Coram Family and Childcare Trust Surveys that help monitor childcare costs and sufficiency across England (subject to a Freedom of Information request to local authorities)
• Advise Planning Inspectors on current sufficiency, to help inform planning decisions
• 
  

PLEASE NOTE... If you are responsible for more than one registered provision please complete this survey based on one of those provisions. We then ask you to complete a new survey for each additional provision you operate.

This survey is for settings and schools offering early years funded entitlements in summer and/or autumn 2024. Please complete as fully as possible. 

Each year we ask providers to confirm their costs for two specific purposes. One is to provide this information in the Childcare Sufficiency Assessment and the other is to respond to an annual request from Coram Family and Childcare Trust who collate the information and report on the changes to childcare costs on a national level.
