Engagement has concluded
Thank you for your contributions to the local childcare survey 2025.
We will continue to use this page to keep you informed about progress with the project.
This is what we asked you.
We are undertaking a parental survey to assess the need for childcare across Lincolnshire.
Your views are important in helping us to plan new services that will meet your family’s childcare needs. We want to know whether you can access childcare provision and if not, what the barriers are.
Please only complete this survey if you use or intend to use childcare in Lincolnshire.
Within this survey, childcare is considered as care and education provided for your child (0 -11 years), that you pay for and rely on to enable you to work, study or volunteer. This might include breakfast, after school or holiday clubs for your school aged children and or the use of a childminder or nursery for younger children. In addition, childcare also includes the funded entitlement of 15 or 30 hours for 9 months to school age accessed through an early year’s provider.
This is part of a wider annual assessment of the Childcare Sufficiency in Lincolnshire We will also engage with childcare providers. We will publish the report in the Autumn 2025.
