Childcare in Gosforth
Gosforth has 1 day nursery and 2 after-school clubs. Ofsted has inspected 1 of them, and rated every one Good or better. 2 have never been inspected, which usually means recently registered. Across Newcastle upon Tyne there are 29 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 Newcastle upon Tyne, 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 72 school nursery classes across Newcastle upon Tyne, because nobody publishes how many children they take.
