Childcare in Olney
Olney has 2 day nurseries, 3 pre-schools, 3 childminders and 2 after-school clubs. Ofsted has inspected 8 of them, and rated every one Good or better, 1 of them Outstanding. 2 have never been inspected, which usually means recently registered. Across Milton Keynes 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 Milton Keynes, 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 49 school nursery classes across Milton Keynes, because nobody publishes how many children they take.
