Places per 100 under-fives is registered capacity at nurseries, pre-schools and childminders across Lincolnshire, 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 111 school nursery classes across Lincolnshire, because nobody publishes how many children they take.

Answered from the figures on this page, so they stay in step with it.

Which nurseries in Bourne take funded hours?

Which nurseries in Bourne take babies?

7 settings in Bourne are registered to take children under two. Ofsted's register does not say whether a setting runs a baby room or has space in it, so ring before you plan around it.

Is it hard to get a nursery place in Bourne?
