Childcare in Jarrow
Jarrow has 6 day nurseries, 7 school nursery classes, 3 childminders and 1 after-school club. Ofsted has inspected 9 of them, and rated every one Good or better, 2 of them Outstanding. 8 have never been inspected, which usually means recently registered. Across South Tyneside there are 26 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 South Tyneside, 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 38 school nursery classes across South Tyneside, because nobody publishes how many children they take.
