Early Years Recruitment and Retention Survey

Please can you spare some time to complete our Recruitment and Retention survey? Responses will be collated and used to support our understanding of the challenges settings within the borough face and the impact of these. We will also use the survey to support us in creating an action plan that targets key issues raised. Whilst we can’t promise to resolve the Recruitment and Retention challenge (we would like to meet whoever can!), we do commit to working with you and exploring different avenues that may support during this difficult time.
