Lockdown Return - Parent Survey

Considering the current lockdown and restrictions on educational & childcare provisions, we want to gauge the feelings of our parents/carers about when they are hoping to return to nursery / out of school club, and what they would hope Acorn have in place before they do so. We also want to find out how parents/carers currently accessing provisions have been feeling about the provisions at nursery/club. 

This survey is anonymous, and will help us to ensure that we are supporting our families as well as we possibly can and that we are doing everything to maintain safe and healthy environments. Please complete as honestly and as fully as you are able to. 
 

1. What nursery and/or out of school club does your child(ren) usually attend? *

 

2. Has your child(ren) been attending an Acorn setting during lockdown (i.e. you are a key worker or your child is classed a vulnerable child)? If so, please state which setting in the comments.

8. The impact of this crisis will have longer-term consequences for Acorn’s finances, as it will for many organisations, and we want to involve you in the decisions we make going forward. We’d really appreciate any suggestions you may have about how best we can save money and reduce costs without affecting the quality of provision
