Childcare in Berkshire
Berkshire has 1 day nursery, 1 pre-school and 1 school nursery class. Ofsted has inspected 2 of them, and rated every one Good or better. 1 has never been inspected, which usually means recently registered. Across Wokingham there are 42 places per 100 children under five, better supplied than England as a whole at 32.
Places per 100 under-fives is registered capacity at nurseries, pre-schools and childminders across Wokingham, 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 31 school nursery classes across Wokingham, because nobody publishes how many children they take.
