Number of paid childcare provider staff (2018, 2019, 2021 and 2022)
Not the latest data
Published
Last updated
A time series of the number of paid provider staff, broken down by provider type. Temporary staff are included but volunteer staff and apprentices are excluded. Due to a small change in the way that private and voluntary group-based providers are defined, private and voluntary group-based provider figures for 2021 and 2022 are not directly comparable (all group-based provider figures, however, are unaffected).

Footnotes
- All figures have been rounded to the nearest 100. They may not add up to totals due to rounding.
- Includes temporary staff but excludes volunteer staff and apprentices.
- 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. Please see ‘further information’ for the impact of this change on the figures in this table.
