Ofsted report highlights providers' strides in improving early education for disadvantaged children.

Our 2015/16 Annual Report, published last week, pulls together and draws conclusions on the findings of 25,000 inspections from the past year. For the second year, our findings on early years are included in this report, alongside schools and further education and skills.

In the report, Ofsted chief inspector Sir Michael Wilshaw congratulates the early years sector for doing particularly well. This year we are able to celebrate 91 per cent of nurseries and childminders in England being rated "good" or "outstanding".

This is the sixth year in a row that the proportion of early years settings rated good or outstanding has risen and the figure is now the highest ever. We should all be incredibly proud of this.
