- A town centre with shops and pubs records more crime per resident than a suburb.
- Flood: surface-water risk is unknown here, we don't hold that map. One point says little about a whole town, and the zones describe the area, not a building: check the address on the Environment Agency's long-term flood risk service.
- Air: a background figure, not the air beside a busy road.

How it is worked outThe day rate range counts only nurseries that publish a day rate; the middle is the median of those.
- A nursery that does not publish its fees has none held here, so its price is unknown.
