Child Care Needs Assessments

Due diligence for childcare centre developments & acquisitions

Business Geographics works with the leading names in childcare to provide detailed assessments of supply and demand at a local area level. We provide detailed needs assessments to childcare centre developers, managers & operators for proposed centre developments & acquisitions.

Location is critical in childcare. Even the best operator will struggle in a local market that has too little demand or too much supply. We provide up-to-date market intelligence built on almost 20 years of research into the childcare industry.

We conduct a desktop assessment of supply and demand in the market, and produce a 25 page report. The report identifies any pre-existing undersupply or oversupply within the local catchment area for a given child care centre or development site.

A needs assessment report has the following inclusions:
  • Catchment Definition and Map
  • Supply Analysis: details of existing centres including licensed places, average daily fees, estimated occupancy and opening hours (based on a telephone survey)
  • Demand Analysis: estimates of demand based on population of children under 5, childcare participation and attendance rates for 2021-2025-2031
  • Assessment of Need: including number of additional places needed/supportable to 2031.
  • Demographic Profile of Catchment Area (based on 2021 census)
  • Population trends & projections by age group from 2021-2025-2031
  • Maps of key demand drivers for childcare
  • Details of other development applications/approvals  nearby
