Childminder figures taken from the Care Commission's December 2007 Annual Return (Table 14) are outwith the scope of National Statistics. Because of the significant number of non-responses to the returns, the data have been weighted up to the total number of active childminders registered with the Care Commission on 1 February 2008, excluding those listed as inactive.
