Childcare in Canning Town
Canning Town has 2 day nurseries and 1 after-school club. Ofsted has inspected 1 of them, and rated every one Good or better. 2 have never been inspected, which usually means recently registered. Across Newham there are 24 places per 100 children under five, worse supplied than England as a whole at 32.
Places per 100 under-fives is registered capacity at nurseries, pre-schools and childminders across Newham, 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 72 school nursery classes across Newham, because nobody publishes how many children they take.

What has changed here
Ofsted does not publish closures, so we work them out by comparing releases. Worth knowing if you are working from an old list.
