The Childcare Sufficiency Assessment, which has become a
requirement under the Childcare Act 2006, was mainly carried out as
a consultation with parents to give their views on a range of
issues in connection with their early education and childcare
needs.
The Act specifies that it is the responsibility of all local
authorities to ensure that there is sufficient childcare in every
community for all those who need it to enter work or training. It
further states that market needs analysis must be conducted at
least three years and, preferably, annually.
A period of consultation will be carried out. All interested
parties are welcome to respond. Please use the link below to view
the Childcare Sufficiency Assessment, to make a response complete
the on-line survey.
