Childcare in London (Bromley)
London (Bromley) has 15 day nurseries, 6 pre-schools, 6 school nursery classes, 7 childminders and 8 after-school clubs. Ofsted has inspected 20 of them and rated 19 Good or better, 2 of them Outstanding. 22 have never been inspected, which usually means recently registered. Across Bromley there are 43 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 Bromley, 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 Bromley, because nobody publishes how many children they take.
