Description:

This dataset shows how many hours in a typical week respondents use early childhood education and care services for children aged 0–5 (e.g. kindergarten, day care centre, a crèche). The numbers indicate what percentage (%) of those using said services have selected each hour band.

Respondents were asked "How many hours in a typical week do you usually use early childhood education and care services (e.g. kindergarten, day care centre, a crèche)?". They selected one hour band from the following list:

  • 1-7 weekly hours (e.g. approx. 1 hour per day)
  • 8-21 weekly hours (e.g. more than 1 up to 3 hours per day)
  • 22-35 weekly hours (e.g. more than 3 up to 5 hours per day)
  • 36-49 weekly hours (e.g. more than 5 up to 7 hours per day)
  • 50-70 weekly hours (e.g. more than 7 up to 10 hours per day)
  • 71 or more weekly hours (e.g. more than 10 hours per day)
