In January 2017, there were 402 maintained nursery schools in 102 local councils. In total, they had 43,785 pupils.

We do not have information on the proportion of children who have access to a maintained nursery school. Maintained nursery schools’ catchment areas will vary according to locally set admissions criteria and as a result of the choices parents make about early years provision for their children.
