Childcare in West Drayton
West Drayton has 6 day nurseries, 4 pre-schools, 9 school nursery classes, 1 childminder and 8 after-school clubs. Ofsted has inspected 9 of them and rated 6 Good or better. 19 have never been inspected, which usually means recently registered. Across Hillingdon there are 27 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 Hillingdon, 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 65 school nursery classes across Hillingdon, because nobody publishes how many children they take.
What has changed here
Ofsted does not publish closures, so we work them out by comparing releases. Worth knowing if you are working from an old list.
