With the start of the scheme’s second academic year, Education also announced it would not be making any changes until September 2018 at the earliest.
There are 95.8%, or 598, of the total 624 three- to four-year-olds in 2017 attending pre-school with their free 15 hours.
This compares to previous figures – from States school reception entries (not including the colleges) – where only 88% attended pre-school in 2015 and 81% in 2014.
