Parent/carer childcare questionnaire

We want parents and carers to tell us about their childcare needs, and their experiences of childcare in Croydon. This will help us to make sure we have enough high-quality childcare places for everyone that needs them.

We estimate this survey will take approximately 5 minutes to complete.  The survey will close on 12th September 2022. 

All of your answers will remain confidential and you will not be identified in any way in the reporting and use of this survey. 


Data protection statement

We’ve asked for you to provide anonymised information on this survey because it tells us more about the people (like you) who use our services. If we know more about your experiences, we know more about the way our services are used and this helps us to make improved decisions about them. It also helps us to make sure we’re hearing from all our diverse communities.

We do not need to collect your contact information for this questionnaire and will not be asking for this, when completing the questionnaire, please keep your responses about your experience with the service only. We will analyse the responses and report findings from this anonymous survey without any of your personal details to make improvements/changes to our services.

If you complete this survey/form and have changed your mind about giving us this data, we’ll remove it. You can do this by emailing the words ‘OPT OUT’ to Child.care@croydon.gov.uk   We’ll extend this for 30 days after a survey/form has closed.
