Places per 100 under-fives is registered capacity at nurseries, pre-schools and childminders across North Tyneside, 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 58 school nursery classes across North Tyneside, because nobody publishes how many children they take.

Questions

What people ask about childcare in Wallsend

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

Which nurseries in Wallsend take funded hours?

16 of the 31 settings in Wallsend 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 Councils do not publish a list of approved providers, so the rest are unknown rather than a no.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 Wallsend rated Outstanding?

Yes. 2 of the 13 settings Ofsted has inspected in Wallsend hold an Outstanding grade.

Which nurseries in Wallsend take babies?

14 settings in Wallsend 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 Wallsend?

North Tyneside has 30 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.
