Footnotes

1. Count of children aged 2 at 31 December in the previous calendar year.
2. Count of children aged 3 or 4 at 31 December in the previous calendar year.
3. The percentages across each of the 3 provider groups sum to 100% although this may vary due to rounding.
4. Before using this table please check the methodology section for important information such as definitions, limitations and caveats about the data that may not be included in these footnotes.
5. Any child attending more than one provider may have been counted twice.
6. For those local authorities who provide funded early education places flexibly over more than the standard 38 weeks, the funded hours during census week may not accurately reflect the full extent of the take-up of the funded early education place, e.g. a child funded for 10 hours during census week may in fact be taking up the fully funded place over more than 38 weeks.
