Childcare Sufficiency Assessment (CSA)
From the 1st April 2008 local authorities have a duty to secure sufficient childcare to enable parents to work, or to undertake education and training leading to work.
To fulfil this duty, local authorities will help shape the childcare market in response to what parents need.
A CSA has been conducted in Haringey over the last six months.
It provides information on the supply and demand for childcare, and identify where any potential gaps in provision may be.
This is the final step in our assessment of childcare in Haringey.
Main findings from the childcare sufficiency assessment
The main findings from the information collected in the CSA are
- more affordable childcare for families on low incomes
- more holiday provision for all ages
- more places, facilities and trained staff for those children with special educational needs or disabilities
- more flexible childcare arrangements in terms of time and cost
- more affordable under three full-time provision
- easier access to before and after school provision for all primary school aged children
- increase the awareness of 0-19 services available in each ward
- review and rationalisation of childcare places available for 0-14 year olds.
The full childcare sufficiency report can be viewed in the attached files below.
