Details

Note: there is a minor issue relating to a very small number of providers and their inspections in this release. Where providers were classed as ‘special considerations’ in our historic data, a small number of inspections that took place between August 2018 and March 2021 may be missing. Releases from 31 August 2021 onwards are unaffected.

These childcare providers and inspections statistics are made up of:

  • main findings in HTML, Word and PDF formats
  • summary tables and charts in Excel format
  • individual provider-level and inspection-level data in ODS format
  • methodology and quality report in PDF format
  • pre-release access list in PDF format

Official statistics are produced impartially and free from political influence.

Updates to this page

Published 26 March 2019
Last updated 26 August 2021 + show all updates
  1. We have made revisions to the ODS data files to redact details for a small number of providers in response to changes to consent arrangements.

  2. We have replaced PDF and Excel files from September 2018 onwards with more accessible versions.

  3. The Excel charts and tables file has been republished for this release. A minor change has been made in the underlying formulae in Table 2. This corrects an error affecting the filters for this table. This amendment has not changed the underlying data for this release.

  4. The main findings, Excel charts and tables files and ODS underlying data files have been republished for this release. This is as a result of the changes made to the data as at 31 August 2018, which affects the baseline comparison for this release. The methodology and quality report has also been amended to correct one sentence in paragraph 36. It now reads: ‘This change also resulted in a rise in the number of places recorded on 31 August 2018 (using the new system) compared with 31 March 2018 (using the previous system).’ These revisions did not result in any changes to the analysis in the main findings which accompanies this release.

  5. First published.
