| Abstract: |
Since the summer of 2020 the Department for Education (DfE) has conducted a series of Provider Pulse Surveys designed to capture evidence about the childcare and early years sector. This report outlines findings from the tenth, eleventh and twelfth waves of the research, which were carried out in November 2024, March 2025 and May 2025. Across all survey waves, providers were asked questions on: (1) Entitlements expansion; (2) Capacity and places; and (3) Workforce. Other questions asked in either one or two survey waves covered: (1) Funding and provider finances; (2) Waiting lists; (3) Early Years Pupil Premium (EYPP); (4) Specific questions of childminders; (5) Payment schedules; (6) Space; (7) Wellbeing; and (8) Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) statutory framework updates. |
