Over a third (35%) of local authorities in England have seen a rise in the number of childcare providers permanently closing down in the last year, according to an annual survey.
The Childcare Survey 2021, published by Coram Family and Childcare, also found 39% of local authorities said providers have increased their prices, with 32% reporting a reduction in the number of free early education entitlement places as a result of the pandemic.
Three in ten have also seen providers increase the number of children looked after by each staff member in a bid to remain sustainable during COVID-19.

More than half of local authorities in England expect childcare providers to close when the government s coronavirus support ends in January, a charity has warned.
Research by the family and childcare charity Coram also found just over a quarter (26%) of local authorities expect providers to reduce the number of free early education entitlement places they offer.
Coram has said this is of particular concern because such places are shown to narrow the achievement gap between disadvantaged children and their peers.
The government has confirmed funding arrangements to support the sector through the pandemic will end next month.
Coram s research found 58% of of local authorities in England believe local childcare providers will permanently close as a result of the move.
