• Different types of childcare available

• New provisions

• Closed provisions

• Proposed developments

• Key local information that could affect the childcare market.

Data will be provided by part-post code and ward area where possible.

The data for the forthcoming year will continue to evolve and will include the addition of childminding information, development/sustainability grants and children's information.

Initial assessment - March 2008

From April 2008 all local authorities have a new legislative duty to secure sufficient childcare for all parents who chose to use it in their area. As part of this all local authorities have undertaken a "childcare sufficiency assessment" which maps the supply of childcare and assesses the demand. The assessment documents below are provided in three sections:

1. Executive Summary
2. Hampshire County Assessment
3. Local Boroughs and District Reports

Services for young Children will be continually monitoring the supply and demand and will publish supplements over the course of the next three years when a full childcare assessment will be repeated in 2011.

We are always interested to receive feedback and ask you to complete this on-line questionnaire after you have read the assessment report(s):

1. Executive Summary  236kb
2. Full Report  2mb
