Employment developments in childcare services for school-age children: United Kingdom

The Foundation is working on sustainable childcare services currently available for school-age children in the 25 Member States of the European Union (EU25). The study aims to support the debate on modernisation of care systems in Europe, to review existing information on childcare services and pinpoint gaps in the level of service in the enlarged EU, and to identify measures at national, regional and local levels to create sustainable childcare services for school-age children. This report, on the United Kingdom, is one of six in-depth country studies that have been conducted in order to complement the more general review of childcare systems in the EU25.
