Dear all


I am a researcher at the Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR). My colleagues and I are currently working to support the Southwark and Lambeth Childcare Commission (chaired by Dame Tessa Jowell MP) to undertake work on how to improve childcare across the two London boroughs. The aim of the Commission is to make recommendations for the Councils to provide more high-quality, accessible and affordable childcare. The Commission will examine the challenges and opportunities in this area and make recommendations for changes to policy and practice at a national, regional and local level in order to secure childcare provision that:


? is accessible and affordable to parents,

? supports parents to be economically active,

? is flexible enough for the 24 hour economy and working patterns of parents,

? delivers quality education and development for children in the early years,

? delivers an appropriate offer for older children


To this end, we have designed an on-line survey for parents and guardians with dependent children living in Southwark and Lambeth. The survey is designed to better understand people's current childcare set-up, how well they think it meets their needs and how they think it can be improved.


If you live in the area and are responsible for at least one child under 16, we would be very interested in hearing from you.


The link to the survey is https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/IPPRsurvey


It will stay open until Monday 6th October 2014 and all those who take part will be entered into a prize draw to win one of two ?50 shopping vouchers.

Thank you!

    • Dog kennel isn't a great name for a school. I agree that it's ridiculous for the name to put anyone off going there, but don't see any issue with them rebranding if the parents and children prefer a new name. The school is surrounded by 'groves' (Camberwell Grove, Grove park and Grove Vale for example), so it's not a totally random name. 
    • It might help if there are body cams to record evidence and a presence maybe a deterrent but I very much doubt a park warden would intervene with obnoxious and violent thugs - children or not. We need police for that.  
    • I had a leaky toilet cistern and Niko came out the same day and not only fixed the leak but thoroughly cleaned off the years of calcium build-up. His attention to detail was matched by his kind humanity. The result was a completely renovated toilet which has never worked more efficiently as well as 'service with a smile'. MANY THANKS NIKO!!!  
    • I am trying to find out about people's experiences of the 4+ and 7+ assessments. I am a teacher and have a wealth of experience tutoring for theses assessments (including my own son), but it's always good to keep on top of things as they always make tweaks to them. TIA!
