Childcare in Crowborough
Crowborough has 4 day nurseries, 4 pre-schools, 1 school nursery class, 8 childminders and 1 after-school club. Ofsted has inspected 13 of them, and rated every one Good or better, 2 of them Outstanding. 5 have never been inspected, which usually means recently registered. Across East Sussex there are 33 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 East Sussex, 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 65 school nursery classes across East Sussex, because nobody publishes how many children they take.
