It also restates previous gradings when quality themes are not assessed in every inspection. 3 Comparator local authorities are Argyll and Bute, Aberdeenshire, Stirling, Scottish Borders and Highland Council. Comparator and national proportions currently available until January 2025. 4 Inspected, published and reported to Learning and Families Executive Sub-Committee

CHART A2: Performance 2016/17 to 2024/25: PKC, Comparator Authorities and Scotland Commentary: National and comparator figures show PKC out- performing comparator and national benchmarks at both Good and Better and Very Good or Better levels. Note: Vertical axis adjusted to emphasise differences * Quality Indicators changed on 01/06/2022 by Care Inspectorate. Current Position The charts above illustrate the aggregated individual results of inspections over several years. 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 the charts below. These summarise the proportion of settings that currently have a Good or better rating, based on the latest inspection for each indicator. CHART A3: Current Quality Ratings – Perth and Kinross
