Early Years and Childcare Provider Survey – Summer 2021

We have been incredibly proud of the work carried out by West Sussex Early Years and Childcare providers over the last year and would like to build on this moving forward into the 2021/22 academic year. 

As part of our ongoing commitment to support providers, and in order to ensure we fulfil our statutory duties, the Early Years and Childcare Team are carrying out a survey to help identify the current strengths and challenges within the sector and areas where we can focus support in order to make the biggest impact. 

Your views are important to us and the responses will be used to shape the training and support, including information, advice and guidance, going forward.

The survey is split into 7 sections:

  1. About You and Your Setting 
  2. Services and Support
  3. Information Advice and Guidance
  4. Online Provider Portal (OPP) 
  5. Sufficiency/Occupancies
  6. Quality and Development
  7. Training and Development

You will need to know your Ofsted registration number to complete this survey.

Thank you for taking the time to complete this.

Opening date: Tuesday 13 July 2021

Closing date: 10 September 2021
