Comment: Two pre schools have closed during this quarter with new providers opening in the same area so there has been no impact on the number of places available locally.

Childminders who have recently registered and those proposing to open are in the same Wards and will ensure sufficient places in these locations

Parental demand There have been no unmet requests for childcare from parents in this quarter

Grant funding There have been no grant awards made during this period

Ward Postcode Type of Registered Type of setting grant places FDC/SC/OSC/ CM Other Marketing by providers continues to be an area for development.

Housing Development North Hampshire Housing construction in the area continues with a further 500 houses proposed for the area behind Rooksdown. Developments are being monitored and plans for provision are being developed.

Conclusion While there have been changes in the childcare market during this quarter this has not had an impact on provision. While two settings have closed a further two have opened in the same locality. Similarly childminder provision has experienced some movement.

A new activity centre has opened in Basingstoke providing affordable activities for 0 – 16 year olds. The centre proposes developing holiday provision.

The local development team continue to promote registration amongst providers of activity based schemes.

The community building at Taylors Farm due to open Spring 2011 http://www.sherfieldparkcommunity.co.uk/ will provide an opportunity for further childcare provision to support families moving into those areas.
