Have your say on local childcare – survey now open

Families in Cheshire West and Chester are being invited to share their views in our annual Parent and Carer Childcare Survey.
The survey helps us understand how families use childcare, their awareness of support for costs, and satisfaction with local provision. The feedback will shape our Childcare Sufficiency Assessment for 2025, helping us work with providers to better meet local needs.
We want every family in west Cheshire to have access to high-quality, affordable childcare that meets their needs. By taking part in this survey, parents and carers can help us plan for the future and ensure local services work for everyone. Please take a few minutes to share your views.
The survey is voluntary, takes around 10–15 minutes and is mostly multiple-choice. All responses are confidential.
People who take part can choose to enter a prize draw to win a £100 voucher for Storyhouse in Chester.
For any questions about the survey or childcare in specific areas, please email earlyyearsfunding@cheshirewestandchester.gov.uk
