12. Parental Survey – Parent Information
Dear Parent/ Carer,
I am conducting research in the provision of early years childcare (for children age 0-5 years) as part of an MBA dissertation at Henley Business School (part of Reading university), and I would be grateful if you could complete the following anonymous online questionnaire. My research aims to understand the challenges faced by parents in deciding a childcare provider by identifying what choices and considerations parents/carers make in choosing a provider, and what support care providers can give to parents/carers during the course of the child’s development.
In addition to submitting my findings for assessment of my dissertation, my findings will be shared with organizations in the community in the hope that care providers can improve the services provided to parents and children based on your priorities.

Thanking you and kind regards
Sanjay Rajendera
