Jo Verill, founder and managing director of Ceeda, which closes in May

Founded in 1999 by managing director Jo Verrill, Ceeda was established to carry out independent research and intelligence for childcare providers, investors, local authorities and sector stakeholders.

Making the announcement on the Ceeda website, Verrill said, ‘It is with sadness that we announce the closure of Ceeda with effect from 1 May 2022. It has been our great privilege to work with the early years sector over the last two decades, providing independent research and intelligence on funding and workforce challenges, in a sector so vital to our children’s futures.

‘We would like to thank everyone who has made our work possible by supporting, funding or participating in our research programmes, we could not have done it without you.’
