Manchester City Council is looking for feedback on families’ experiences using childcare in Manchester.

Please complete their survey(s) to support the city’s childcare sufficiency assessment. This will us help to better understand demand, identify any gaps in provision and inform future planning.

There are two surveys – one for parents/carers of children aged under 5 and one for those with children aged 5 and over. Parents/carers can complete both surveys if they have children in both age groups.

Parents/carers of children aged 0–5 years: https://surveys.manchester.gov.uk/s/Under5sParentSurvey26-27/

Parents/carers of children aged 5 years and above: https://surveys.manchester.gov.uk/s/Over5sParentSurvey26-27/

Deadline for responses: 22 July 2026
