Childcare in New Addington
New Addington has 2 pre-schools, 1 childminder and 1 after-school club. Ofsted has inspected 3 of them, and rated every one Good or better. 1 has never been inspected, which usually means recently registered. Across Croydon there are 33 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 Croydon, 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 61 school nursery classes across Croydon, because nobody publishes how many children they take.
