Notes:
The number of childminders is the number registered with the Care Commission in January 2008, and includes the eight per cent listed as inactive.
Where childcare centres did not provide information, information from 2007 has been used, where available.
The number of centres is the number registered with Care Commission when the census form mailing was being prepared in November 2007. Some centres replied to the mailing to say that they have closed or are not currently operating.
