Childcare in Twickenham

Ofsted has inspected 43 of them and rated 38 Good or better, 4 of them Outstanding. 44 have never been inspected, which usually means recently registered. Across Richmond upon Thames there are 51 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 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.
