Financial Sustainability Health Check of the Childcare Sector in Scotland
This update of the Financial Sustainability Health Check has collected evidence on the sustainability of the childcare sector, in particular relating to the impacts of the costs crisis, workforce pressures and the lasting effects of the pandemic.
Overview of the 2023 Update
29. As with the 2021 Health Check, this update has been mainly informed by evidence and analysis from detailed surveys of childcare providers (with separate surveys for day care of children and childminding services) and analysis of trends in Care Inspectorate registration data.
30. This report is intended to be a summary of the key findings from the Health Check update. It also sets out a number of actions that the Scottish Government will implement, in order to address the challenges facing the sector and to support long-term sustainability of childcare providers.
31. Alongside this summary report we have published a separate Analysis and Evidence paper which sets out the detailed results from the provider surveys and the analysis of the latest Care Inspectorate registration data.
