The Childcare Corporation was omitted from the reprinted Nursery Chains league table (News, 11 November). It should be at position 11 with 1,252 places and 13 settings. All groups listed from 11 to 20 therefore move down one place. Scotland's falling birth rate and a rise in the popularity of home education are thought (by whom?) to be contributing factors.
