Childcare availability report – Appendices

In January 2008 we asked how people use childcare around the county, and whether there is enough provision to meet demand.

We surveyed parents, children, employers and childcare providers. We spoke to focus groups of parents in communities across East Sussex and with parents of disabled children.

Below, you can read appendices to the main report, including detailed analysis of the survey results and maps showing where there are vacancies across the county.
