Ci Research bags two childcare studies for local authorities

The contracts cover fieldwork, analysis and reporting of childcare supply and demand data, which will be used to support the local authorities in planning childcare provision and meeting parental needs.

Ci Research will use a range of methodologies including large-scale household surveys, face-to-face interviews and community consultation.

The agency has previously carried out childcare sufficiency assessments for Bedfordshire County Council, Peterborough City Council, Wokingham Borough Council, Stoke-On-Trent City Council, and Hertfordshire County Council.
