Our Parent Survey 2025 called for all parents of children up to the age of 12 to respond, informing us of their childcare use, needs and barriers to using childcare, in order to better support and represent the Out of School Childcare sector.  

The survey asked about all types of regulated and unregulated childcare used: Out of School Childcare Clubs, Day Nurseries, Playgroups, Cylchoedd Meithrin, Childminders, Nannies, Open Access, School holiday enrichment programmes.
