Childcare in Bognor Regis
Bognor Regis has 10 day nurseries, 12 pre-schools, 2 school nursery classes, 13 childminders and 11 after-school clubs. Ofsted has inspected 28 of them and rated 23 Good or better, 5 of them Outstanding. 20 have never been inspected, which usually means recently registered. Across West Sussex there are 38 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 West 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 54 school nursery classes across West Sussex, because nobody publishes how many children they take.

Which nurseries in Bognor Regis take babies?
