Childcare Sufficiency Profile 2017

Harleston and Loddon

Children’s Centre Area

Key Findings

Sufficiency is about childcare places for all children who need it, choice for parents and good quality provision

There is insufficient number of 2, 3 and 4 year old places in the area

For 0-2’s only 9% of children can access a childcare place

Growth in childcare places will be needed in specific locations to respond to proposed housing developments (Loddon) and increased demand for funded entitlement

The Out Of School Clubs appear to meet demand

Parents currently have a choice of the type of provider they can access

For those inspected by Ofsted a judgement of ‘Good or Outstanding’ is at 100% for group providers and 94% for childminders, just lower than the Norfolk average of 95%

New provision would need to be of high quality to compete in this market and provide a flexible offer to meet parents needs

Demographics

There are 949 0-5 year olds and 458 3-4 year olds in the Children’s Centre Lot as of

December 2017

Key Data cont.

Take up for Early Education Funding for 2 year olds was 79.6% for the autumn 2017 claim period with 43 of 54 taking up all or part of their free entitlement. Up 9.8% from 2016

Of the 483 childcare places 189 are available all year round and 294 are available term time only
