Childcare in Corsham
Corsham has 7 day nurseries, 1 pre-school, 1 school nursery class, 5 childminders and 2 after-school clubs. Ofsted has inspected 11 of them and rated 10 Good or better, 2 of them Outstanding. 5 have never been inspected, which usually means recently registered. Across Wiltshire there are 40 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 Wiltshire, 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 48 school nursery classes across Wiltshire, because nobody publishes how many children they take.
