Footnotes
- Children who split their entitlement across more than one private, voluntary or independent provider are only counted at the provider where they spend the majority of their time.
- This chart does not include the small number of children attending a state-funded school who do not follow the national curriculum.
- Where children under 4 years of age are recorded as in reception, this may be because they attend a school with a two-year reception class or other mixed-year class, because the local authority has agreed it would be beneficial to start reception year early, or for another reason.
- A very small number of children under 5 years of age are registered in a higher year group than reception. This may be because the local authority has agreed it would be beneficial to the child, or for another reason. These children have been included in the reception category.
