Have Your Say on Childcare in the Vale

The Vale of Glamorgan Council want to hear from parents and carers across the Vale about their experiences of childcare.

Whether you currently use childcare, have struggled to find the childcare you need, or have chosen not to use childcare because of cost, availability or other reasons, your views matter.

Your feedback will help us understand what childcare is like for families across the Vale and identify where there are gaps, challenges or opportunities to improve.

This exercise (The Vale of Glamorgan’s Childcare Sufficiency Assessment) will shape their five-year action plan, which aims to deliver the childcare needs of families across the Vale. Visit the website below to complete the survey.
