Have Your Say On Childcare

The cost and availability of childcare is a huge consideration for every parent when returning to work. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

Caerphilly County Borough Council wants the opinions of parents regarding the provision of childcare across the borough. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

Every completed survey will be entered into a prize draw for £50 of High Street vouchers and importantly the information gathered will help to shape services. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

When the survey was last undertaken in 2013, over 1,000 people responded to the questionnaire and this resulted in over 350 new childcare places being established within the county borough plus additional childcare support for children aged 11 – 14 in secondary schools was introduced. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

The survey will be running for a few more months but residents are urged to get their views in as soon as possible. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​
