Places per 100 under-fives is registered capacity at nurseries, pre-schools and childminders across Sandwell, 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 82 school nursery classes across Sandwell, because nobody publishes how many children they take.

What people ask about childcare in Tipton

Answered from the figures on this page, so they stay in step with it.

Which nurseries in Tipton take funded hours?

13 of the 29 settings in Tipton are recorded as taking the government funded hours. Councils do not publish a list of approved providers, so the rest are unknown rather than a no.

Are any nurseries in Tipton rated Outstanding?

Yes. 1 of the 12 settings Ofsted has inspected in Tipton hold an Outstanding grade.

Which nurseries in Tipton take babies?

18 settings in Tipton are registered to take children under two. Ofsted's register does not say whether a setting runs a baby room or has space in it, so ring before you plan around it.

Is it hard to get a nursery place in Tipton?

Sandwell has 24 registered childcare places for every 100 children under five, against 32 across England. That is registered capacity rather than free places, so it compares areas rather than telling you what is available this week.
