Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what proportion of children attending (a) maintained nursery schools and nursery classes in schools, (b) private, voluntary or independent nursery settings and (c) childminders achieved (i) a good level of development, (ii) at least the expected level of development and (iii) below the expected level of development measured according to the early years foundation stage for the latest year in which data is available.

On 20 October, the Department published the early years foundation stage profile (EYFSP) results for the 2015 to 2016 academic year, at national and local authority level. The EYFSP results are available at: www.gov.uk/government/statistics/early-years-foundation-stage-profile-results-2015-to-2016.

The proportion of children achieving each level of development at the various types of settings is not readily available and could be compiled only at a disproportionate cost.
