Childcare in Stratford-Upon-Avon (Warwickshire)
Stratford-Upon-Avon (Warwickshire) has 15 day nurseries, 5 pre-schools, 9 school nursery classes, 2 childminders and 11 after-school clubs. Ofsted has inspected 17 of them, and rated every one Good or better, 4 of them Outstanding. 25 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.
