This childcare parent satisfaction survey template gives nurseries and daycare settings an honest read on how families feel, with 5 questions covering everyday care, staff, and how each child has grown since starting. The paired before and after section makes progress visible at a glance, and the whole form prints on a clean page or two.
What this survey measures
The rating grid captures whether children are happy and settled, how warm and attentive the staff feel, how well parents are kept informed, and whether the activities support learning, along with willingness to recommend. A paired before and after section rates each child's confidence and independence, social skills, and communication as they were on their first day and as they are now, so you can show real developmental change. An open comment box captures anything the fixed questions miss.
How to use it on paper
Hand the survey to parents at pickup, include it in a welcome or review pack, or leave copies by the sign-in book with a drop box. Parents cross the boxes with a blue or black pen. Collect the completed forms and scan them with PaperSurvey: it reads the checkbox ratings with optical mark recognition and converts handwritten comments to text automatically, so results appear in your dashboard without any manual data entry.
Customize this template
Reword the statements to match your setting, add rows for specific rooms or age groups, or swap the rating scale. The paper layout reflows automatically as you edit, and every copy you print stays scannable.
