Current information can be made available by date of birth of children attending and by gender, but not by ethnicity or disability. The data available is not wholly consistent over the time span. Note that this includes some 3 year olds who entered provision 'early' ie before they were eligible under the pre-school grant arrangements. The most appropriate timing for future collections of nursery and pre-school data is currently being discussed. This is a particularly important consideration as numbers in provision fluctuate through the year.
New children enter each term, according to their birthday or other considerations.
Full-time equivalents are approximately half the headcount figures. Nearly all children attend part-time. The information contained on this WWW site is Crown Copyright but may be reproduced without formal permission or charge for personal or in-house use. Privacy and Content Disclaimer .
