Childcare providers are being urged to take part in a survey into the impact of rising energy costs on settings, launched by the Early Years Alliance.

The aim of the survey is to gain perspectives from providers on how settings are being affected by rising energy costs, and to what extent existing Government support packages, including the Energy Bill Relief Scheme, are likely to help at a time when the Government is set to review existing support measures.

It has been launched the same day as the new Chancellor Jeremy Hunt announced he is to reverse measures announced by his predecessor in the mini budget, including only offering support on energy bills for six months rather than two years, with a review in April. 

Findings from the Alliance’s survey will be used to support its ongoing campaigning and help inform conversations with policymakers. All responses will be kept anonymous.
