Childcare sufficiency assessment report

Southwark Council has a duty to make sure there's enough childcare in Southwark.

We must publish how we're supporting working parents or parents who are studying or training for work. 

Our 2019 report covers:

• the demand for childcare, including data on Southwark’s changing population and projected numbers of children in different parts of the borough
• the supply of childcare, including the number of childcare providers and places
• funded early education, including take-up of free places for 2 to 4-year-olds
• the quality of childcare, including Ofsted inspection outcomes
• early years outcomes for children
