Footnotes
- Excludes providers that do not look after any 3- or 4-year-old children.
- Although providers were asked to report children only receiving the 15-hour entitlement for 3- to 4-year-olds (and to report children receiving the 30-hour entitlement separately), figures in this table are slightly higher than those in the Funded Early Education and Childcare statistics, suggesting that some providers may have double-counted children receiving the 30-hour entitlement.
