Some of you will have taken part in our childcare survey recently but there are a number of other points that have come up since (from us as well as others) that we wanted to get your views on. Don't feel you have to answer all of these by the way, but any thoughts you have we'd be interested to hear.
1) Have grandparents always provided childcare support or do you think they are being relied upon more year on year?
2) Have some of you (or people you know) felt obliged or forced to take early retirement because parents have no other care options?
3) Are parents requiring support those who
a) receive free entitlement but it doesn’t cover their needs
b) those who are not entitled to free hours, and can’t afford to pay for provision
4) What does this say about the current state of childcare provision?
5) Are grandparents getting enough support?
6) Do you find more grandads are involved in looking after grandchildren than in previous years?
Thank you!
