The government has recognised the importance of parents of primary school children to have access to wraparound childcare in their local area between 8am and 6pm.

Parents should expect to see an expansion in the availability of wraparound childcare from April 2025. 

To help the Council expand wraparound childcare provision to meet current and future demand, we would like to hear from parents/carers of primary school age children, but also from those with children aged 0 to 5 years who may wish to access before or after school care in the future. 

We would be very grateful if you were to support us with maximising the reach of this survey by sharing the message, flyers and survey QR code link below with families in your school any other stakeholders you may have and, if appropriate, your own family and friends who access or want to access childcare in Derby.

It is vitally important that we receive as high a return as possible.

The Council will provide flyers for every parent in your school. 

Distribution commences from 5 December 2024. Please can you share the flyers and promote the survey.
