Ofsted has inspected 16 of them and rated 15 Good or better, 3 of them Outstanding. 20 have never been inspected, which usually means recently registered.

Places per 100 under-fives is registered capacity at nurseries, pre-schools and childminders across Richmond upon Thames, 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 35 school nursery classes across Richmond upon Thames, because nobody publishes how many children they take.
