Childcare Counts - Childcare Sufficiency Assessment

Parents - Your views about childcare count! If you are a resident of Staffordshire and have children aged 14 and under (17 and under if they have a disability or special need) we'd like to hear your views about childcare.  Take part by clicking the button below or learn more.

All local authorities have a statutory duty to carry out a Childcare Sufficiency Assessment every three years and to produce an annual update. The next full assessment will be published by March 2011 and work is underway on this.

The links at the bottom of this page will take you to the April 2010 update which provides information gathered at workshops across the county together with the latest childcare supply and demographic data. The key difference between the 2010 update and previous sufficiency work is that there is now analysis and data at locality level. The document provides a link to district childcare data that sits on the intranet and which will be updated quarterly.

A group of 24 stakeholders met on 26 September 2008 to look at the recommendations arising out of the Childcare Sufficiency Assessment and to come up with an action plan. The group included representatives from the National Childminding Association, National Day Nurseries Association, Job Centre Plus, Youth Service, Children's Centres and Early Years.
