Ofsted has inspected 19 of them and rated 17 Good or better, 1 of them Outstanding. 27 have never been inspected, which usually means recently registered. Across Sandwell there are 24 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 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.
