Childcare Sufficiency Assessments Live!
Published: Thursday, 30 April 2026
As a local authority, Nottingham City Council has a duty to secure early years provision for eligible children, as well as childcare for working parents and those studying to work.
As part of the local authority's childcare sufficiency responsibilities, the Early Years Team publishes a full Childcare Sufficiency Assessment report on a three yearly cycle. This triangulates information on demand for childcare from parents, supply of childcare by early years providers, accessibility for children with SEND, information from employers and local demographic and development information in order to identify any gaps in childcare services to inform future place planning and sustainability.
During Summer 2026 we are conducting our full Childcare Sufficiency Assessment and we would welcome you completing the surveys relevant to you to help shape future provision across Nottingham before the deadline of 29th May 2026.
