The survey is being carried out by Wendy Shek, the childcare partnership liaison officer, who has been employed by the Scottish Independent Nurseries' Association (SINA) to work on a one-year project to explore the relationship between the private and voluntary sectors and childcare partnerships.
The project is funded by the Executive and carried out in conjunction with other umbrella childcare organisations, including the Scottish Childminding Association, the Scottish Pre-school Play Association and the Scottish Out-of-School Network.
Ms Shek, who has been in post since January, has reviewed the Blake Stevenson report into childcare partnerships and has sent out two different questionnaires, one for representatives of the private and voluntary sectors who sit on partnerships and the other for providers who are not directly involved and may not know what the partnership is.
