The current published Childcare Sufficiency Assessment 2019/20 will provide the local authority with a benchmark against which to monitor the market and provide a basis for decisions by providers and the local authority with regard to childcare provision in the future. It is proposed that a fully updated Childcare Sufficiency Assessment covering the period 2021/22 is published in the autumn of 2021.
