so i applied for a job as a child development worker, and have actually managed to get an interview however im slightly worrid as i now have to prepare a prsentation on barriers to childcare that affct parents and providers.

 

the main barriers idntified where:

• Rural Areas – parents finding childcare near to home/work and childcare providers sustaining a childcare business.

• Disability – parents finding appropriate childcare that can meet their child’s individual needs

• The cost of childcare – providing sustainable, affordable childcare

 

 

what steps could the council take to help parents and providers overcome these barriers

 

 

I dont know where to start?

 

any offers of advice, please???

 

intrview monday

So barriers to parents living in rural areas finding affordable childcare:

 

Setting not providing full day care due to lack of demand within area for all day care as area too expensive for some families to buy family homes/lack of affordable housing.

 

 

The council could support the development of affordable homes?? Failing that help providers to market their setting to a wider community, offer sustainability grant to temporarily support provider to offer full or extended day care until word spreads.

 

The council could support the setting in arriving at a fee that would cover costs yet be as competitive as possible.

 

I'm waffling, what a difficult presentation, just wanted to get the ball rolling. Am sure someone will be along shortly with some good ideas.

 

Hope all goes well on Monday, best wishes. Let us know how you get on.
