A point on quality - the lowest proportion outstanding settings are in the most-deprived areas - true for all provider types. However PE providers have markedly fewer outstanding settings in the most-deprived areas than other ownership types.

Similar story for closures - fairly even distribution for other provider types, but uneven for "PE places". Should be said, total openings by PE providers is circa 25k. Total closed places is nearer 6k. Starting number of places is also higher in least-deprived areas than most-deprived areas

proportion of closed places since 2018 by different ownership types and the deprivation band of the setting. More PE places closed in least deprived areas, compared to more evenly distributed closures by other ownership types

What kinds of areas has that growth in places been seen? Well, its mainly in the least-deprived areas. Most-deprived areas already start with fewer settings, but this behaviour by PE providers suggests a stripping away of provision in more-deprived areas Other providers are more evenly distributed!

Excited to share - I co-authored a paper w/ @uclnews.bsky.social on the distribution of nursery places by ownership type (incl. Private Equity owners) & deprivation band - nursery places provided by PE providers have doubled as a share of the market since 2018 🧵 discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/eprint/10...
