Overview

This survey is to help Cambridgeshire County Council understand the views of local families regarding the type of funded childcare they require, or already access, within the new town of Northstowe.

A similar survey was carried out in 2023 but we are now seeking your views again in recognition that the needs of families, and individual circumstances, change over time and new families have moved into the town.

Why your views matter

This survey will help inform whether any changes are made to existing provision in Northstowe.

For example, changing a service from 'Full Day Care' service to a 'Term Time Only' service.

We encourage you to complete this survey if you are looking to place your child in an Early Years or Child Care setting in Northstowe in the near future. 

We also encourage you to complete this survey even if you have currently secured, and are happy with, your childcare arrangements.

Thank you in advance.
