Note: Childminder figures by local authority for the first week of February 2007 were provided by the Care Commission, and include the ten per cent of childminders who responded to the survey saying that they were inactive. Childminder figures are rounded to the nearest 10 and so totals may not equal the sum of their parts.

See background notes for details of revisions.
