Childcare in Sandhurst
Sandhurst has 5 day nurseries, 1 pre-school, 5 school nursery classes, 5 childminders and 5 after-school clubs. Ofsted has inspected 11 of them and rated 9 Good or better, 1 of them Outstanding. 10 have never been inspected, which usually means recently registered. Across Bracknell Forest there are 36 places per 100 children under five, better supplied than England as a whole at 32.
Places per 100 under-fives is registered capacity at nurseries, pre-schools and childminders across Bracknell Forest, 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 21 school nursery classes across Bracknell Forest, because nobody publishes how many children they take.
