Parent Carer Wrap Around Childcare Survey 2024

Overview

Why your views matter

Your views are important to us as they will help us decide how to assess if there is enough childcare provision in Sefton and plan new childcare services and ensure places meet the needs for local families.  We are also keen to hear about the experiences of families with special educational needs and disabilities.

All responses will be only be used to help us assess the need for future childcare in Sefton and you will not be identified in any way in the reporting of this survey. 

We estimate that this survey will take approximately 15 minutes to complete. We have asked participants for their postcode and the name of the school their children attend. This is so that we can assess demand and future demand at locality level.  The survey will close on 14th March 2024.
