Section 11 of the Childcare Act 2006 requires local authorities to undertake a Childcare Sufficiency Assessment (CSA) every three years in consultation with specific stakeholder groups.

- 1452 parents using extensive telephone surveys and a further 221 parents from key target groups
- 203 children and young people
- Seven percent of all childcare providers in Cambridgeshire
- 26 employers
- JobCentre Plus
- Nanny agencies
- Cambridgeshire Race Equality and Diversity Service
- The National Childminding Association (NCMA)
- Primary Care Trust (PCT)
- The Local Safeguarding Children Board (LSCB)
