Childcare providers asked to help secure capital funding for free childcare

0

The council is reminding childcare providers that there is only a week left to take part in an online survey to help it secure capital funding for up to 30 hours free childcare for working parents.

The council needs as many childminders, pre-school, day nurseries and primary schools as possible to complete the brief survey as part of the process of putting in a bid to secure capital funding for providers to expand their provision of being able to deliver the free childcare from September 2017.

Steve Reddy, executive director families and wellbeing, said: “Access to free childcare provision can make all the difference to the lives of working parents. Childcare can be large part of a working parents income and can be a deciding factor in whether many are able to return to work.

“The questionnaire has been designed to enable us to submit an informed expression of interest in the capital funding needed. So I hope as many childcare providers as possible will help by completing the short survey which only take five or six minutes.”

To take part complete the online survey here, or email your views to fis@warrington.gov.uk

Or write to: Families and Wellbeing Directorate, Early Help Division, Information and Childcare, Warrington Borough Council, New Town House, Buttermarket Street, WA1 2NH

The closing date for the survey is 10am, 28 April. At this stage there is no guarantee that Warrington Borough Council will be awarded any capital funding.

All responses will be confidential and the survey process complies with the principles of the Data Protection Act 1998.
