Early Learning and Childcare Parent/Carers Survey 2022
Overview Midlothian Council is seeking the views of parents and carers with children under 5 years of age to ensure we provide a high quality service that is responsive to the changing needs of our local communities
For the purposes of this survey we define: Early Learning and Childcare as the funded 1140 hours provided at Midlothian Council ELC settings, Partnership Centres or childminders for all eligible 2 year olds, 3 and 4 year olds and deferred 5 year olds.
The online survey aims to gain the views of parents and carers regarding the following areas:
Attendance at and choosing an Early Learning and Childcare setting
The current delivery models available to access the funded entitlement to 1140 hours of Early Learning and Childcare.
The application process and criteria for allocating places in local authority Early Learning and Childcare settings.
The quality of the parent and carers and children's Early Learning and Childcare experience.
The demand for a deferred year of funded Early Learning and Childcare.
Experience of accessing Additional Support for Learning for your child.
What happens next The findings from the survey will be used to inform the future delivery of Early Learning and Childcare in Midlothian to ensure our children continue to receive high quality provision that is flexible, accessible and affordable for parents and carers.
