Child Care and Early Years Survey 

For the first time, the City of London is creating a Child Care and Early Years Plan that will outline how they support families for the next 4 years.
They want to hear from YOU about your child care and early years program experiences!
Feedback collected through the Child Care and Early Years Survey, together with input from stakeholders, will be used to inform the recommendations of the draft Child Care and Early Years Plan to be completed in spring 2019.

Help us plan for child care and early years programs and services across the city- fill out the survey today!
Looking for the survey in another language? We've translated it into French, Spanish, and Arabic. Please contact [email protected] to get your copy today!
