There will not be enough places for free childcare if all families in Rotherham who qualify take up the offer, a council report has warned.
A number of areas in the borough are anticipated to fall short of meeting demand, including Coleridge, Arnold, Aughton, Aston, Catcliffe and Treeton.
The report said there would also not be enough capacity in Canklow, East Dene, Clifton, Eastwood and the Town Centre if all three-year-old children took up their entitlement.
Currently, all three and four-year-olds are offered 15 hours of free childcare per week as part of a government scheme.
