Childcare in Leamington Spa
Leamington Spa has 21 day nurseries, 10 pre-schools, 9 school nursery classes, 11 childminders and 13 after-school clubs. Ofsted has inspected 28 of them and rated 27 Good or better, 6 of them Outstanding. 36 have never been inspected, which usually means recently registered. Of those that publish a price, a full day runs from £38 to £93, typically £60. Across Warwickshire there are 38 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 Warwickshire, 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 97 school nursery classes across Warwickshire, because nobody publishes how many children they take.

Which nurseries in Leamington Spa take babies?
