Childcare in Northfleet
Northfleet has 1 day nursery, 1 pre-school and 1 school nursery class. Ofsted has inspected 2 of them and rated 1 Good or better. 1 has never been inspected, which usually means recently registered. Across Kent 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 Kent, 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 138 school nursery classes across Kent, because nobody publishes how many children they take.
