Childcare in Sutton-In-Ashfield
Sutton-In-Ashfield has 9 day nurseries, 1 pre-school, 10 school nursery classes, 12 childminders and 3 after-school clubs. Ofsted has inspected 19 of them and rated 18 Good or better. 16 have never been inspected, which usually means recently registered. Across Nottinghamshire 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 Nottinghamshire, 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 203 school nursery classes across Nottinghamshire, because nobody publishes how many children they take.
