Ofsted has inspected 23 of them and rated 18 Good or better, 2 of them Outstanding. 26 have never been inspected, which usually means recently registered. Across Worcestershire there are 31 places per 100 children under five, about the same as England as a whole at 32.
Places per 100 under-fives is registered capacity at nurseries, pre-schools and childminders across Worcestershire, 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 120 school nursery classes across Worcestershire, because nobody publishes how many children they take.
