Northern Ireland Childcare Survey 2020 now open!
Calling parents & childcare providers
What is your experience of childcare in Northern Ireland, and what do you think is needed to support and enhance our vital childcare infrastructure here? Employers For Childcare has launched the 2020 Northern Ireland Childcare Survey for parents and childcare providers, giving you an opportunity to share your views.
We are calling on all parents and childcare providers from across Northern Ireland to complete a short, online survey. At a time when the newly restored Executive has identified childcare as a key priority, and has committed to publishing a Childcare Strategy, this survey provides an important platform for parents and childcare providers to share their views and have their voices heard. It marks a real opportunity to inform the next steps for our elected representatives and policy makers to deliver greater investment in our childcare infrastructure.
Last year’s report, marking a decade of this valuable research, revealed many of the challenges faced by parents in accessing and paying for the childcare they need, as well as by childcare providers in delivering a high quality service, that is sustainable.

About the Northern Ireland Childcare Survey
The Northern Ireland Childcare Survey has been conducted since 2010 to explore the cost and provision of childcare and how these impact on parents. It is the most extensive study of its kind in Northern Ireland and is widely used to inform political debates, policy development in relation to the affordability of childcare, and service delivery.
