Notes:

The number of childminders is the number registered with the Care Commission when the survey form mailing was being prepared (usually around November of the previous year), and includes inactive childminders (8 per cent of total in 2010).

Where childcare centres did not provide information, the previous year's information has been used, where available.

The number of centres is the number registered with Care Commission when the census form mailing was being prepared (usually around November of the previous year). Each year some centres reply to the mailing to say that they were closed or not currently operating.
