Parent childcare survey

As part of the Local Authorities statutory duties around sufficiency we are required to have an understanding of the supply and demand of childcare places and any gaps in provision, including how these gaps will be addressed.

We are looking for views from all parents and carers of children aged 0-14 years (and up to 18 for children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities) about how you currently use childcare, and how this may continue to change in the future.

To support this knowledge and understanding it is important that we include the voice of the families so we can better understand if the childcare available is meeting your needs.

The questions and length of the survey will vary depending on the age of your child/children but should take no more than 10 minutes to complete. Importantly your feedback will help us to shape improvements to the future of childcare delivery in West Sussex and support the availability of childcare provision to meet continuing demand.

The survey will be open from 10 January 2024 to 2 February 2024.
