Local authorities are required to report annually to elected council members on how they are meeting their duty to secure sufficient childcare and early education places, and to make this report available and accessible to parents. The Department does not hold local authority or constituency level estimates of the number of places in local authority maintained nursery schools. However, the number of pupils attending local authority maintained nurseries can be found in the statistical first release and underlying data published at:

https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/schools-pupils-and-their-characteristics-january-2016

Local authority and regional tables: SFR20/2016 (Table 7b) indicates that 686 pupils were registered as attending local authority maintained nursery schools in Wolverhampton in 2016.
