Childcare in Mitcheldean
Mitcheldean has 3 day nurseries and 2 pre-schools. Ofsted has inspected 3 of them, and rated every one Good or better, 1 of them Outstanding. 2 have never been inspected, which usually means recently registered. Across Gloucestershire there are 36 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 Gloucestershire, 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 89 school nursery classes across Gloucestershire, because nobody publishes how many children they take.
