Survey 2002/03

The 2002/03 Childcare and Early Years Workforce Survey was published on 27 May 2004 and is available in pdf form here.

There are separate reports for different types of provision and an overview which draws together the key findings from the individual sub-sector reports and highlights key issues across the childcare and early years sector.

The 2002/03 Workforce Survey tracks changes since 2001 among different kinds of provision in the childcare sector and collects baseline data for the early years sector for the first time.
