Childcare in London (Southwark)

London (Southwark) has 99 day nurseries, 17 pre-schools, 63 school nursery classes, 37 childminders and 76 after-school clubs. Ofsted has inspected 112 of them and rated 105 Good or better, 10 of them Outstanding. 180 have never been inspected, which usually means recently registered. Of those that publish a price, a full day runs from £60 to £106, typically £85. Across Southwark there are 34 places per 100 children under five, about the same as England as a whole at 32.

Places per 100 under-fives is registered capacity at nurseries, pre-schools and childminders across Southwark, 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 65 school nursery classes across Southwark, because nobody publishes how many children they take.

Questions

What people ask about childcare in London (Southwark)

Answered from the figures on this page, so they stay in step with it.

How much does nursery cost in London (Southwark)?

Of the 15 full-day rates published by settings in London (Southwark), the typical price is £85 a day, ranging from £60 to £106. These are prices the settings publish themselves, not an average of quotes.

Which nurseries in London (Southwark) take funded hours?

97 of the 292 settings in London (Southwark) are recorded as taking the government funded hours. Councils do not publish a list of approved providers, so the rest are unknown rather than a no.

Are any nurseries in London (Southwark) rated Outstanding?

Yes. 10 of the 112 settings Ofsted has inspected in London (Southwark) hold an Outstanding grade.

Which nurseries in London (Southwark) take babies?

184 settings in London (Southwark) are registered to take children under two. Ofsted's register does not say whether a setting runs a baby room or has space in it, so ring before you plan around it.

Is it hard to get a nursery place in London (Southwark)?

Southwark has 34 registered childcare places for every 100 children under five, against 32 across England. That is registered capacity rather than free places, so it compares areas rather than telling you what is available this week.
