Notes:
Centres were asked whether they provide pre-school education "following the Scottish 3-5 curriculum". Those that said yes were asked whether this was "as a local authority managed school or centre", "as a partner provider offering places funded by the local authority" or "neither".
Centres that did not respond to the census but that were still registered with the Care Commission and were listed in the pre-school teacher census of September 2007 as providing pre-school education are included in this table (102 centres).
Staff are counted once for each centre they work for.
359 centres did not provide information on the number of staff. For these centres, the median number for all other centres has been applied, broken down by centre type. 877 centres did not provide information on the WTE of staff. For these centres, the mean ratio of staff numbers to WTE has been applied, broken down by type of provision and local authority.
All figures are rounded to the nearest 10 to express the uncertainty inherent in these estimates. For this reason, totals may not exactly equal the sum of their parts.
