We’re looking into early years education and childcare services
The CMA is looking into the provision of early years education and childcare services. We want to understand how the sector is working for families and providers, and if it could work better.
This includes services, such as childminders, nurseries and pre-schools, for children from birth until they start school (at age 4 or 5).
We’re focusing on services in England. If you live elsewhere in the UK, you can still share your views. This helps us understand similarities and differences across the nations.
It’s important that we hear from families and childcare professionals. Share your experiences to help us understand how early years education and childcare services are working for families and children, and for people working in the sector.
