Manchester City Council

Schools, education and childcare Annual childcare sufficiency assessment

We want to hear about your experience of finding childcare in Manchester. Please complete our survey using the links below.

Your feedback will help the Council:

  • understand demand for childcare
  • find gaps in current services
  • plan for the future

There are two surveys:

  • one for parents and carers of children aged under 5
  • one for parents and carers of children aged 5 and over

If you have children in both age groups, you can complete both surveys.

Deadline: 8 July 2026
