Member survey 2026

How can Early Education membership better meet your needs and give you even better value for money? We want to hear from all our members about what they most value about the current offer, and what you'd like us to add to it. Please take a few minutes to answer the questions below about what currently works well and what we could improve.

Your data will be held securely in line with our privacy policy. You may respond anonymously, or choose to share your contact details if you are willing to be contacted regarding any follow-up queries. The collated, anonymised results of this survey will be shared with Early Education's trustees and staff to inform the charity's strategic planning and operational delivery.

Thank you in advance for your feedback.
