14.1 The Lead Member
considered a report by the Director of Children’s Services
regarding the publication of the latest update to the
East Sussex Childcare
Sufficiency Assessment for 2019/20.
14.2 The Lead Member RESOLVED to approve the publication of the East Sussex Childcare Sufficiency Assessment for 2019/20.
Reason
14.3 The Council has a statutory duty to ensure that there are sufficient early education and childcare places to meet present and future demand across the county. The updated Childcare Sufficiency Assessment for the period 2019/2020 clearly sets out the projected demand for places in the future and where the Council thinks it will need to support the sector to provide additional places in the right locations to meet parental demand.
