Statistics Sweden’s General Business Register contains information on companies, agencies and organisations, with addresses of local units. The information in the register is the one the businesses report themselves. Therefore, the information may vary between businesses.

Some businesses report the location of their head office which may differ from the actual location of the pre-school. To obtain pre-schools, the industry code SNI 85100 (Pre-primary education) is used.

It is not possible to assign coordinates to all pre-school’s addresses, creating an attrition compared to the information in Statistics Sweden’s General Business Register. This is due to that not all reported addresses in the register can be matched against Lantmäteriets locational addresses.

Geocoded pre-schools are updates once a year and is based on the annual register which is completed in December.
