Childcare sufficiency

We must make sure there are enough childcare places across Trafford. This includes funded early education places which children can access from the term after they turn 9 months old.

We check supply and demand, looking at things like:

  • Number of local places available
  • Occupancy levels and vacancies
  • Population changes, birth rates and new housing developments

We publish a childcare sufficiency assessment every two years.
