Mean and median fees for children aged 3 and 4 broken down by local authority.  In order to help interpret the mean, the table shows 95% confidence intervals.  Based on the responses we received to the survey, we can be 95% confident that the mean for all providers in the local authority lies between the lower and upper values.  Figures for some local authorities are based on small sample sizes (less than 30).

Footnotes

  1. Due to local authority re-organisation, mean fees for North Northamptonshire (£5.49 per hour) and West Northamptonshire (£5.02 per hour) cannot be displayed on the map.
  2. [u] Statistics based on an "unweighted base" (sample size) of less than 10 are not shown. Statistics based on an "unweighted base" of 10 or greater but less than 30 should be treated with caution and are only indicative.
