We’re asking all nursery and pre-school owners and managers, and childminders, to take part in a survey. The findings will be published in an upcoming issue of Nursery World.

The survey follows in the wake of the current controversy surrounding Ofsted, with calls for inspections to be paused following the tragic death of Caversham Primary School's head teacher Ruth Perry.

In the early years sector, there are ongoing concerns about an increase in downgrades particularly among nursery providers, and a sector in the midst of a workforce and funding crisis.

The survey runs from 29 March until 5 April and should only take around 10 minutes of your time.
