Decision:

That the contents of the report be noted and the ongoing work being undertaken by the Childcare Development Group in working towards addressing the recommendations in the audit of sufficiency be supported.

Minutes:

A report on the findings of the Flintshire Childcare Sufficiency Assessment for 2014-2017 was received for information.

 

Councillor Marion Bateman referred to geographical gaps identified in the report and queried provision of new childcare daycare places for Northop and Sychdyn.  The Children’s Partnership Co-ordinator explained that when compiling the data, there may have been no full-time daycare places in those particular areas, however this may have changed.  She agreed to discuss separately with Councillor Bateman in more detail.

 

Councillor Stella Jones queried provision in Hope.  The Children’s Partnership Co-ordinator said that the areas indicated in the report may have been based on wider areas than wards, but would discuss further outside the meeting.

 

RESOLVED:

 

That the contents of the report be noted and the ongoing work being undertaken by the Childcare Development Group in working towards addressing the recommendations in the audit of sufficiency be supported.
