About

Central Bedfordshire Council awarded a contract to Place Group for research on the Early Years Childcare Sufficiency Report 2022, covering all Central Bedfordshire Early Years Providers.

The research included analysis of childcare take-up, early years education participation, wrap-around care, holiday provision, and the profile of children attending, including those with SEND, LAC, and use of SENIF/DAF funding.

It also assessed current childcare costs, parent and provider views on availability and barriers, workforce and training, quality of provision, and provider interest in expanding or developing new provision.

The study examined the immediate and longer-term impact of Covid-19 on early years demand and provision, and developed a plan to support achieving childcare sufficiency.

The contract value was AUD 10,200.
