With parents of two-year-olds now eligible for 15-hour childcare Nursery World is carrying out a survey to hear from nurseries, pre-schools, and childminders about their experiences.

According to Government figures, more than 150,000 two-year-olds are already taking up the funded places under the first phase of the expanded offer, which came into effect at the start of April.

At the same time, the education secretary recently said that 40,000 more staff will be needed to deliver the Government's full childcare expansion plans.

We want to know whether you’re offering the places – and if not, why not? Do you already have a waiting list? What do you see as the main barriers to expanding the number of places you offer? And what feedback have you had from parents?
