Nurseries in Mitcham
Mitcham (CR4 and SM4) has 46 settings and 1,004 places. By type: 22 school nursery classes, 18 day nurseries, 4 pre-schools and 2 independent schools with a nursery section.
Settings with an Ofsted report card: 5, including 0 at Strong or Exceptional in 4 or more areas. Not reaching that level is not a mark against a setting, since Expected standard is the usual grade. Nurseries graded on the older scale: 14, of which 14 Good and 0 Outstanding. Settings not yet inspected number 3. Because school-based settings follow their school's inspection, check the school's report for nursery classes.
The tram plays a big part in the area's station list: Belgrave Walk, Phipps Bridge, Mitcham and Morden Road are tram stops, alongside Morden (Tube) and Morden South (rail). By nearest station, settings include Mitcham Eastfields (11), St. Helier (7), Mitcham (7) and Phipps Bridge (4).
See the method on the Merton highest-rated page, and costs in the fee guide. Wimbledon is the other Merton neighbourhood page.
