Across East Riding of Yorkshire there are 37 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 East Riding of Yorkshire, 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 80 school nursery classes across East Riding of Yorkshire, because nobody publishes how many children they take.
