If Neighbourhood plans go ahead and over 2000 dwellings are built, consideration to the local childcare infrastructure would need to be taken onto account. Additional childcare would be needed even in rural areas and work with Children services would be essential as the council has a Statutory duty to ensure sufficient childcare

Yes agreed the local plan must also account for the growth of childcare need across the Borough. If two thirds of Borough employees tend to work within the Borough and over 8000 jobs are created there will be a significant increase in local childcare needed to enable employees with 0-5 year olds to work. For example Consideration should be taken into account for providing land and obtaining funding for workplace nurseries on large plots of employment land.

If there are more houses built as outlined in Stewartby, Wixams, Shortstown and Wootton new childcare will be required to support households who work and to access children's Nursery Education Funding entitlement. Nurseries and preschools in Stewartby, Wixams, Shortstown and Wootton are able to meet demand for existing childcare needs but additional houses built will increase childcare needed for 0-5 year olds. Therefore land available for new nurseries and/or support from developers to extend existing childcare will be required
