Pre-school

Table 6.1 shows that there were 102,871 children registered for pre-school places funded by the local authority in September 2013, and that 101.5% of eligible children were registered for the ante-pre-school or pre-school year of pre-school education. Eligible children are estimated from mid-year population estimates. As children may be counted more than once if they are registered to receive local authority funded pre-school education at more than one centre this figure will overestimate true uptake.
