Childcare in Northolt
Northolt has 18 day nurseries, 4 pre-schools, 9 school nursery classes, 7 childminders and 2 after-school clubs. Ofsted has inspected 18 of them, and rated every one Good or better, 3 of them Outstanding. 22 have never been inspected, which usually means recently registered. Across Ealing there are 27 places per 100 children under five, worse supplied than England as a whole at 32.
Places per 100 under-fives is registered capacity at nurseries, pre-schools and childminders across Ealing, 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 74 school nursery classes across Ealing, because nobody publishes how many children they take.

Which nurseries in Northolt take babies?
