We help parents with children aged 0 to 14, or up to 18 if there are special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).
The Childcare Act 2006 places a duty on local authorities to make sure that there are enough childcare places within its locality.

Full 3 year CSA 2019-2021
In 2019, we carried out our full 3 year childcare sufficiency assessment which identifies the supply and demand for childcare and any gaps in childcare provision:
Main findings from the 2019-2021 CSA:
- Haringey generally has sufficient childcare, particularly for children under 5. The highest demand of childcare is for the universal free entitlement for 3-and-4-year-olds
- there is a shortage of out of school and holiday provision for school-aged children
- the cost of childcare is identified as a real barrier for Haringey’s population
- families and friends play a significant part in parents’ choice for childcare
- the number of children and young people with SEND is on an overall upward trajectory
- further training is required for childcare staff to care and support children with SEND
- in areas of housing development and regeneration there will be an increase in the demand for childcare
- the quality of childcare and early education provision is on an upward trajectory
