The Department is unable to provide accurate details of closure rates for child care places and providers prior to 2003.
Since March 2003 data on closure rates have been available from Ofsted. Their data on closures include registered places in settings which are transferring ownership, and in settings which move from one Ofsted category to another, not just those which are ceasing trading.
