Description:	<P>Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.</P>The introduction of the National Childcare Strategy in 1998 marked a radical shift in government policy and for the first time put childcare provision firmly on the political map. Since then a wide range of childcare initiatives and funding streams have been introduced, and hence there is a need for regular data to aid the evaluation of recent policy interventions in these areas. The <i>Childcare and Early Years Provision</i> survey series is divided into two survey strands: the <i>Parents’ Survey</i> and the <i>Providers’ Survey</i>. <br> <br> The <i>Parents’ Survey</i> provides data on parents’ take-up, views and experiences of childcare. Families in England are randomly selected from the Child Benefit Records and all parents had children aged 0-14 years. They are asked about their use and experiences of childcare for all children in the family and to give more detailed information about childcare for a particular child (selected at random where there is more than one child in the family). The current <i>Parents' Survey</i> series replaces two previous surveys: the <i>Survey of Parents of Three and Four Year Old Children and Their Use of Early Years Services</i> (conducted between 1997 and 2002) and the <i>Parents' Demand for Childcare</i> (conducted in 1999 and 2001) (the latter series is held at the UK Data Archive under GN 33341).<br> <br> The <i>Providers' Survey</i> monitors the characteristics and development of childcare and early years providers and the workforce in England. Information was collected on the number and characteristics of providers, the characteristics of the children enrolled, workforce composition, qualifications and training, recruitment and retention, and business operation. The 2016 survey underwent an extensive redesign, which means findings are not comparable with previous surveys.<br><br>The 2020 survey was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic<br> <br> Further information is available on the gov.uk <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/statistics-childcare-and-early-years" title="Childcare and Early Years Statistics" target="_blank">Childcare and Early Years Statistics</a> webpage.<br><br><div><span style="font-style: italic;">Special licence data</span></div><div>Additional, more detailed variables from the Providers' Survey in 2018, 2019 and 2021 are available under Special Licence (SL). The SL data have more restrictive access conditions than those made available under the standard End User Licence (EUL) agreement. Prospective users of the SL version will need to complete an extra application form and demonstrate to the data owners exactly why they need access to the additional variables in order to get permission to use that version. Users are advised to consult the EUL version first and the list of variables available under each study before applying.</div><div><br></div> <i>Childcare Provider Finances Survey, 2012</i><br> During 2012, a sample of childcare and childminding professionals, who had previously taken part in the <i>Childcare And Early Years Provision: Providers' Survey, 2010</i> (see SN 6882), took part in the <i>Childcare Provider Finances Survey</i>. The survey was designed to provide detailed information on the financial profile of providers offering childcare in England. The survey investigated topics such as the overheads that providers must take account of in their business models, the areas of their provision that are most in need of investment, and their profitability levels and financial concerns.<br> <br> <B>Main Topics</B>:<BR> Topics covered include the costs of childcare provision, fees, profitability, areas requiring investment and childcare providers' financial concerns.
