Footnotes
- The percentages across all banded hours sum to 100%, although this may not be exact due to rounding.
- Where a child takes their annual extended entitlement flexibly over more than the standard 38 weeks of term-time, the extended hours recorded in census week may overestimate the actual hours taken in a term-time week e.g. a child recorded as 15 hours during census week may in fact be using their full entitlement stretched at 12 weekly hours over more than 38 weeks.
- Any child attending more than one provider may have been counted twice.
- 2021 is the first year of data covering COVID-19, collected during January's national lockdown. A higher proportion of children recorded as registered to receive early education entitlements will have been temporarily absent during census week itself than previous years.
- Where a child takes their annual funded entitlement flexibly over more than the standard 38 weeks of term-time, the funded hours recorded in census week may underestimate the actual proportion of the entitlement taken annually e.g. a child funded for 12 hours during census week may in fact be taking up the fully funded place over more than 38 weeks.
