Views my own, especially about the cricket
Finally - OFSTED doesn't collect this data. Lots of hard work w/ @drantoniasimon.bsky.social and Vivek Kotecha at Trinava Consulting to figure out how to find + match data on PE, with Companies House data, with OFSTED data. Easily solved by adding 2 additional qs on the provider registration form..!

A point on quality - the lowest proportion outstanding settings are in the most-deprived areas - true for all provider types.
However PE providers have markedly fewer outstanding settings in the most-deprived areas than other ownership types.

What does this mean? As here: bsky.app/profile/ucln...
Ever lessening provision of childcare in the most-deprived areas. Govt must do more to manage this market and ensure access is even

Similar story for closures - fairly even distribution for other provider types, but uneven for "PE places". Should be said, total openings by PE providers is circa 25k. Total closed places is nearer 6k. Starting number of places is also higher in least-deprived areas than most-deprived areas

What kinds of areas has that growth in places been seen? Well, its mainly in the least-deprived areas.
Most-deprived areas already start with fewer settings, but this behaviour by PE providers suggests a stripping away of provision in more-deprived areas
Other providers are more evenly distributed!
