Supporting early years and childcare providers to develop good business and management skills is now more important than ever. Recent research aimed to find out about the current state of providers’ business skills and where they would like development and support. The key findings are highlighted in this publication.

The sustainability of good quality early years and childcare provision is critical to both the development and education of young children and to the wider economy by enabling parents to work and train. Developing the business management skills of early years and childcare providers is essential to ensure that they have every opportunity to make their business a success.
