With childcare in the headlines this week following the Chancellor’s announcement that working parents will get 30 hours of free childcare for all under fives by 2025, Chronicle & Echo has collated nurseries in Northampton that are rated ‘good’ and ‘outstanding’ by Ofsted.
The watchdog inspects education settings and gives them a rating from ‘outstanding’, ‘good’, ‘requires improvement’ and ‘inadequate’.
