Vast majority of childcare providers help children to achieve well and enjoy their learning
Getting on well: enjoying, achieving and contributing found that 99% of the 27,200 childcare providers inspected between April 2006 and March 2007 are satisfactory or better at supporting children to achieve well and enjoy their learning and development. Fewer than 1% were inadequate. Almost all (99%) providers help children to make a positive contribution to their childcare setting, feel valued and have good relationships with other children and adults. Just over 1% were inadequate. 'Enjoying and achieving' and 'making a positive contribution' are two of the five outcomes which the Children Act 2004 identified as vital for every child and the focus of today's report.
