Childcare Champions: Mapping Access to Essential Services
The Ofsted team, led by its head, has initiated a project to identify areas with abundant and scarce childcare options, known as "oases and deserts".
This project aims to provide crucial insights for policymakers and the public, addressing the gap in evidence on parents' access to childcare services.
At the 2023 Spring Budget, Jeremy Hunt announced reforms to the childcare system, including 30 hours of funded childcare for most working parents.
The team's efforts come as the government seeks to enable more parents to work and boost growth, with Labour retaining the policy since coming to power.
