Footnotes

1. A 2-year-old can be counted under more than one basis for funding if more than one applies.
2. Statutory guidance advises local authorities not to fund 'Requires Improvement' or 'Inadequate' provision for eligible two-year-olds unless sufficient, accessible ‘Good’ or ‘Outstanding’ provision is not available.
3. "No Match" includes registered independent schools who are not required to register with Ofsted and academy converters who have not yet been inspected under their new status. These are included as a proportion of the "Total" numbers, based on the total number of children receiving funding.
4. 2021 is the first year of data covering COVID-19, collected during January's national lockdown. Open providers, or providers closed due to government guidance, made census returns relating to registered children's "expected attendance" in census week. Further information is available in the methodology.
5. 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.
