Childcare in Southam
Southam has 8 day nurseries, 2 pre-schools, 6 school nursery classes and 3 after-school clubs. Ofsted has inspected 10 of them, and rated every one Good or better, 3 of them Outstanding. 9 have never been inspected, which usually means recently registered. Across Warwickshire there are 38 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 Warwickshire, 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 97 school nursery classes across Warwickshire, because nobody publishes how many children they take.
