Childcare in Derbyshire
Derbyshire has 3 day nurseries and 1 school nursery class. Ofsted has inspected 3 of them and rated 2 Good or better. 1 has never been inspected, which usually means recently registered. Across Derbyshire there are 31 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 Derbyshire, 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 167 school nursery classes across Derbyshire, because nobody publishes how many children they take.
