Ofsted has inspected 9 of them and rated 7 Good or better, 1 of them Outstanding. 22 have never been inspected, which usually means recently registered.

Places per 100 under-fives is registered capacity at nurseries, pre-schools and childminders across Redcar and Cleveland, 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 46 school nursery classes across Redcar and Cleveland, because nobody publishes how many children they take.
