Childcare in Burntwood
Burntwood has 5 day nurseries, 1 pre-school, 7 school nursery classes, 6 childminders and 5 after-school clubs. Ofsted has inspected 12 of them and rated 10 Good or better, 1 of them Outstanding. 12 have never been inspected, which usually means recently registered. Across Staffordshire there are 34 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 Staffordshire, 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 255 school nursery classes across Staffordshire, because nobody publishes how many children they take.
