A Comprehensive Report on Child Care Performance.
Based on anonymised data gathered from over 4,100 respondents through a survey conducted in 2020, Early Years Research has prepared a 115-page, data-rich report reviewing childcare performance in the past year. The document also draws inference from multiple established sources, and includes commentary on the impact of COVID-19 on the performance of the ECEC sector.
