The Planning and Analysis Team
The main role of the Planning and Analysis Team is to:
- Ensure that there are enough childcare places across the city, particularly for parents wishing to return to work or training.
- Ensure early years free entitlement provision (nursery education) is available to all children aged 3 and 4 years within their area.
- Ensure that Extended Schools and Children’s Centre targets issued by the Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF) are implemented by 2010
- Ensure support and advice is available to new or existing providers
The team has recently completed an assessment of the childcare market within Sheffield. More detailed consultation work is being carried out in local areas across the city between August 2008 and April 2009. The findings from the assessment will help to decide where childcare places will be developed across the city in the future.
