Data set from Childcare and early years provider survey

Total registered places (2018, 2019, 2021 and 2022)

Not the latest data
Published
Last updated

A time series of the number of Ofsted-registered places, broken down by provider type. 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

  1. All figures have been rounded to the nearest 100. They may not add up to totals due to rounding.
  2. 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.
