Early Learning and Childcare - Statutory Consultation
This short questionnaire is aimed at gathering the views of parents/carers whose children will access ELC provision in the future and those currently accessing funded ELC provision.
Falkirk council delivers funded ELC provision to families in school nurseries, Council-run ELC extended day/year centres: and, through partner private nurseries and partner childminders.
All 3 and 4 year olds, and eligible 2 year olds, can access up to 1140 hours of funded Early Learning and Childcare, depending on when their birth dates are. That usually equates to 30 hours a week during school term-time, or around 23 hours a week across a whole year.
The Survey will also gather views on non-funded childcare.
This survey is composed of 24 questions, over 5 sections, which should take no more than 10 minutes to complete.
Why Your Views Matter
This survey is to help us identify the needs of local families and to support future planning of ELC Services. It is hoped that gathering views at this time will mean that future ELC services will adequately meet the needs of most people.
The survey is anonymous and your answers will remain confidential.
At the end of the survey you will be asked if you want to give your email address. This is to issue you with acknowledgement of your submission only.
If you have any questions, please email ELC@falkirk.gov.uk
