According to Ofsted records, as of 31 March 2022, 0 providers on non-domestic premises and 10 childminders had left the Early Years Register in Easington between March 2021 and March 2022. Over the same period, 1 provider on non-domestic premises and 1 childminder joined the Early Years Register in Easington.

Ofsted’s publication provides data on both joiners and leavers to the register, but not at a parliamentary constituency level, so this analysis is based on the differences in the Early Years register between March 2021 and March 2022.

The department has no plans to make a statement on the operating resilience of early years childcare providers in Easington constituency.
