Ofsted has inspected 5 of them, and rated every one Good or better, 2 of them Outstanding. 9 have never been inspected, which usually means recently registered. Across Westmorland and Furness there are 29 places per 100 children under five, worse supplied than England as a whole at 32.
Places per 100 under-fives is registered capacity at nurseries, pre-schools and childminders across Westmorland and Furness, 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 103 school nursery classes across Westmorland and Furness, because nobody publishes how many children they take.
