Childcare in Great Missenden
Great Missenden has 1 day nursery, 5 school nursery classes, 2 childminders and 4 after-school clubs. Ofsted has inspected 3 of them, and rated every one Good or better. 9 have never been inspected, which usually means recently registered. Across Buckinghamshire there are 40 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 Buckinghamshire, 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 104 school nursery classes across Buckinghamshire, because nobody publishes how many children they take.
