Childcare in Gosport
Gosport has 20 day nurseries, 7 pre-schools, 4 school nursery classes, 5 childminders and 18 after-school clubs. Ofsted has inspected 29 of them and rated 27 Good or better, 5 of them Outstanding. 25 have never been inspected, which usually means recently registered. Across Hampshire there are 39 places per 100 children under five, better supplied than England as a whole at 32.
Places per 100 under-fives is registered capacity at nurseries, pre-schools and childminders across Hampshire, 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 81 school nursery classes across Hampshire, because nobody publishes how many children they take.
