Childcare in Denton
Denton has 1 day nursery and 1 childminder. Ofsted has inspected 2 of them, and rated every one Good or better. Across Tameside there are 35 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 Tameside, 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 67 school nursery classes across Tameside, 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.
