Early Years Workforce Survey 2022

Overview

It has been widely reported in the media that the early years sector is facing difficulty in recruiting and retaining early years practitioners.  To explore this further, the Early Years Commissioning Team would like to understand any issues in relation to the current health of recruitment and retention of early years staff across Surrey.  To do this, we would invite you to complete and submit this short survey by 11 March 2022.  A separate Childminder Workforce Survey will be published the week commencing 14th March 2022.
