Children First Northamptonshire (Northamptonshire County Council) wants to know what parents of children under 5 with diagnosed or suspected Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities (SEND) want from their childcare providers.

They have asked ASK Research to find out what childcare needs to be like to help parents like you, how some places are providing this, and what help others need to improve.

We would like to hear your views about what does and does not help you and your child, and your experiences of childcare. This survey asks a few questions and we would appreciate you giving as much information as possible.

At the end you will be asked if you would be happy to be involved further. You do not have to agree to this. Everyone who responds and provides their details will be entered into a prize draw for the chance to win one of five £10 online shopping vouchers.

Your answers are completely confidential – no one from the council or your provider will know that you have taken part in this research and we will not report who we hear from or provide details that mean you could be identified.

If you want to know anything more about this project please contact Amy Skipp on amy@askresearch.org.uk
