Footnotes

  1. Refers to gross pay, before any tax and National Insurance deductions.
  2. Includes temporary staff but excludes volunteer staff and apprentices.
  3. The way voluntary, private and ‘other’ group-based providers are defined changed between 2021 and 2022. This means year-on-year comparisons for these categories of provider are not possible. Figures for the total ‘all group-based provider’ category are not affected and can be compared.
  4. Childminders' incomes cannot be compared to those for other workers. As they are self-employed, instead of being paid a salary, they draw an income from the profits made by their business and their income is not subject to minimum wage legislation.
