The table ranks every nursery and childcare provider in Scotland based on their Care Inspectorate ratings.
The care regulator awards grades ranging from six points for excellent to one point for unsatisfactory.
Providers are graded across four categories - setting, staff, leadership and quality of care, and play and learning.
Using official data published by the Care Inspectorate, The Times and Sunday Times have published a full Scottish childcare league table.
