2 Year Funding – Parents and Carers

If you’re entitled to 15 hour free childcare for your 2 year old, this survey is for you. We're always looking at ways we could possibly improve the way childcare is provided and the way you, the parents and carers make use of the funding.
Please tell us your enquiry reference number. This can be found under your name on your 2 year funding letter.
