On 20 October, the department published the early years foundation stage profile (EYFSP) results for the 2015 to 2016 academic year, at national and local authority level. The EYFSP results are available at: www.gov.uk/government/statistics/early-years-foundation-stage-profile-results-2015-to-2016

However, in regards to the proportion of children achieving each level of development at the various types of settings, I’m afraid this information is not readily available and could be compiled only at a disproportionate cost.
