Childcare in Wymondham
Wymondham has 6 day nurseries, 2 pre-schools, 3 school nursery classes, 7 childminders and 4 after-school clubs. Ofsted has inspected 14 of them, and rated every one Good or better, 1 of them Outstanding. 8 have never been inspected, which usually means recently registered. Across Norfolk there are 28 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 Norfolk, 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 148 school nursery classes across Norfolk, because nobody publishes how many children they take.
