Childcare in Flitwick
Flitwick has 1 childminder and 1 after-school club. Ofsted has inspected 1 of them, and rated every one Good or better, 1 of them Outstanding. 1 has never been inspected, which usually means recently registered. Across Central Bedfordshire there are 27 places per 100 children under five, worse supplied than England as a whole at 32.
Places per 100 under-fives is registered capacity at nurseries, pre-schools and childminders across Central Bedfordshire, 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 68 school nursery classes across Central Bedfordshire, 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.
