Recruitment and Retention of Workforce
Greenwich Council is currently assessing recruitment and retention challenges within its childcare provision sector.
In March 2026, a report to Greenwich Council's Children and Young People Scrutiny Panel highlighted recruitment and retention challenges within the borough's childcare provision. The Early Years and Childcare Sufficiency Report 2025-26, informed by provider feedback, noted that 49% of providers reported vacancies, while 51% experienced increasing demand for services.
The topic of workforce recruitment and retention generally concerns the challenges of attracting and keeping qualified staff within a sector. No further discussions or decisions on this broader subject are currently scheduled across the councils, following the Greenwich report in March 2026.
