What stands out

#signature ⧉

Every organisation on record for Day nursery & early years childcare is in Education & Childcare

77% of the sector have at least one capability resolved to the graph, and each bar carries how many organisations hold that capability island-wide. Day nursery & early years childcare files under Leisure & recreation in the graph rather than under this sector's own domain — a fact about how the taxonomy is built, not an error in the record. Capabilities as published by each organisation and resolved to the graph; a business with no capability claim is not necessarily a business that does none of these things.

Each row also states how many organisations hold that capability island-wide, so a node this sector effectively owns reads as one.

14 of the 51 with a capability on record span two or more of these groups (27%). Two capabilities inside one group are one trade, not two, which is why this counts groups rather than nodes.

Sub-sectors

Nurseries & Preschools leads, on 22 organisations

Every organisation is counted once, in its primary sub-sector. Separately, 33 organisations outside this count work in Education & Childcare alongside another sector — they are not in the bars below.

Counts each organisation's primary sub-sector, so the bars sum to the sector, and each is the roll call the directory lists under that name.

1 organisation is classified straight at sector level with no sub-sector — a real cohort, kept visible rather than folded into the largest bar. 33 further organisations work in Education & Childcare alongside another sector and are not in these bars: each is counted in the sub-sector of the sector it calls its main line. "Works in", never "is in".

The same island, drawn on a location quotient: this sector's share of a parish against its share of the island. Hatched parishes hold too few of this sector to compare at all. Parishes holding fewer than 30 of this sector are drawn and tabled but never named in a sentence: a quotient over a handful of organisations moves on one new record, and a superlative that flips that easily is not one.

Capabilities

#capabilities ⧉

The typical mapped organisation holds 1 capability, against 3 island-wide

77% of the sector have at least one service resolved to the graph, across 6 domains, against 71% island-wide, the 5th-highest capability coverage of the 13 sectors where it can be counted. Capabilities as published by each organisation and resolved to the graph; a business with no capability claim is not necessarily a business that does none of these things.

The roles overlap: one business can be “this is what they do” for one capability and “a sideline” for another, so these rows add up past the number of businesses.

Online presence

#digital ⧉

70% of Education & Childcare organisations have a website of their own

Against 67% island-wide — 3 points above the island rate, mid-table on own-site rate: 7th of the 15 sectors where it can be counted. The gap is the robust part: the sector’s own rate is measured over the organisations we have found, and the ones still missing are disproportionately the web-invisible.

How this chapter counts

#method ⧉

The bases every figure here divides by

This chapter counts over the 66 active organisations whose primary sector is Education & Childcare — 2% of the 3,582 with a primary sector on record; the wider 99 who work in Education & Childcare at all are counted in every sector they work in, and are used only where a sentence says “works in”. Each module then divides by what is actually on record for it — a parish for 59, a founding year for 25, a capability resolved to the graph for 51, opening hours that resolve to a weekly grid for 28 — and those bases are printed under every chart, because the denominator is part of the datum.

This sector’s own coverage was measured at 87% on 30 September 2026, by capture–recapture against Google's business listings for the Bailiwick, with every organisation that was itself added from those listings left out of the comparison so the two counts stay independent. Every count above is a floor.
