Childcare in Hampton
Hampton has 10 day nurseries, 2 pre-schools, 4 school nursery classes, 5 childminders and 12 after-school clubs. Ofsted has inspected 15 of them and rated 13 Good or better. 18 have never been inspected, which usually means recently registered. Across Richmond upon Thames there are 51 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 Richmond upon Thames, 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 35 school nursery classes across Richmond upon Thames, because nobody publishes how many children they take.
