<p>Data from the Childcare and early years providers survey (2016) shows that, at
the time of the survey, there were 46,600 registered childminders of which 98% were
female and 2% male. Latest data on males in full day care settings, the childcare
and early years providers survey 2013, showed that they also make up 2% of the workforce.
At the time of both surveys the 30 hours of free childcare for three and four year
olds policy details were still in development and so we do not have workforce data
relating to that provision.</p><p> </p><p><strong><em>To note: </em></strong></p><p>The
