[Talk-GB] Schools project - update

[Stuart Reynolds]

There ought to be, somewhere - they are all required to be Ofsted inspected, after all.

I searched Ofsted for Maids Moreton Pre-School, and it has a URN of EY476044. EY in this case would stand for “Early Years”. I’ll go hunting for a database, now!


Regards,
Stuart

I also wanted to do start with my local county rather than by postcode so I've used Overpass Turbo to retrieve the relevant data: http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/dIG (change county name>run>Export>geojson)
