Childcare in Daventry
Daventry has 6 day nurseries, 4 pre-schools, 8 school nursery classes, 3 childminders and 5 after-school clubs. Ofsted has inspected 11 of them and rated 9 Good or better, 3 of them Outstanding. 15 have never been inspected, which usually means recently registered. Across West Northamptonshire 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 West Northamptonshire, 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 64 school nursery classes across West Northamptonshire, because nobody publishes how many children they take.

Which nurseries in Daventry take babies?

Is it hard to get a nursery place in Daventry?
