Childcare Sufficiency Assessment

 

A childcare sufficiency assessment is a measurement of the nature and extent of the need for, and supply of, childcare in each local area. It is used to help authorities identify gaps in the market and to plan how to address them.

Section 6 of the Childcare Act 2006 gives local authorities a new duty to secure, as far as is reasonably practicable, sufficient childcare to meet the requirement of working parents.

 

From April 2007 all local authorities have a duty to assess the sufficiency of childcare provision under section 11 of the 2006 Act. Sufficiency assessments need to be completed and published before April 2008, and regularly updated thereafter.
