Childcare in Warwick
Warwick has 20 day nurseries, 9 pre-schools, 6 school nursery classes, 10 childminders and 14 after-school clubs. Ofsted has inspected 26 of them and rated 24 Good or better, 5 of them Outstanding. 33 have never been inspected, which usually means recently registered. Across Warwickshire there are 38 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 Warwickshire, 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 97 school nursery classes across Warwickshire, because nobody publishes how many children they take.

Answered from the figures on this page, so they stay in step with it.
Which nurseries in Warwick take funded hours?
10 of the 59 settings in Warwick 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 Councils do not publish a list of approved providers, so the rest are unknown rather than a no.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 Warwick rated Outstanding?
Yes. 5 of the 26 settings Ofsted has inspected in Warwick hold an Outstanding grade.
Which nurseries in Warwick take babies?
42 settings in Warwick 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 Warwick?
Warwickshire has 38 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.
