Footnotes

  1. Childminders' costs are calculated differently to those for other providers. Rent and mortgage costs are excluded from costs. Unlike school-based and group-based providers, where staff are paid salaries, childminders were asked on the Survey how much they drew from their business in the form of a "salary". "School-based providers that offer nursery" often deliver classes to school-age children alongside their nursery provision. For these providers, it is difficult to estimate how much of the providers' overhead costs - such as energy and IT support - are accounted for by nursery classes and how much are accounted for by other parts of the school.
