Places per 100 under-fives is registered capacity at nurseries, pre-schools and childminders across East Sussex, divided by the children aged 0 to 4 who live there at the 2021 Census. It compares areas; it is not a count of free places today. It also leaves out the 65 school nursery classes across East Sussex, because nobody publishes how many children they take.

Which nurseries in Battle take babies?
