Parental childcare survey 2023

Engagement has concluded

Thank you for taking part. 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.

We will be engaging with childcare providers on the topic of Childcare Sufficiency. This will become part of a wider annual assessment.

Your views on this survey are important to help us shape the future of the service. Your feedback will allow us to meet your needs and create new developments to support you.

Within this survey, childcare is care and education provided for your child, that you pay for to enable you to work, study or volunteer. This might include breakfast, after school or holiday clubs for your school aged children. This could include the use of a childminder. Childcare can include the funded entitlement of 15 or 30 hours for 2, 3 or 4 year olds accessed through an early years provider.

Please only complete the survey if you use, intend to or need to use childcare.
