CHART A1: Performance 2016/17 to 2021/22: PKC, Comparator Authorities
and Scotland 
Note: Vertical axis adjusted to emphasise differences 
1 Note that rounding of percentage figures may mean totals reported elsewhere do differ.
2 Note that comparator and national proportions include all services for day care of children whereas Perth and Kinross figures
only represent local authority and partner provider services. It also restates previous gradings when quality themes are not
assessed.
3 Comparator local authorities are Argyll and Bute, Aberdeenshire, Stirling, Scottish Borders and Highland Council.
Comparator and national proportions currently available until December 2021
4 Inspected, published and reported to Lifelong Learning Executive Sub Committee by 21 March 2022.
5 There is no performance to report for the year 1 April 2020 to 31 March 2021. 
Commentary: The
national trend down is
linked to higher
expectations from Care
Inspectorate
inspections and
introduction of the
National Standard for
ELC. National and
comparator figures are
now available for
2021/22 which show
PKC out-performing
comparator and
national benchmarks.

(Comparator and National Data as of 31 December 2021) 
Current Position 
The chart above illustrates the aggregated individual results of inspections over a five year
period.  Some settings will be inspected more than once during this period, and some
Quality Indicators are not covered in every inspection.  The accumulated result of all these
inspections is the current position of all Early Learning and Childcare services in Perth &
Kinross - shown in these charts. This summarises the proportion of settings that currently
have a Good or better rating, based on the latest inspection for each indicator.
