Childcare in Bradford

Bradford has 83 day nurseries, 15 pre-schools, 97 school nursery classes, 55 childminders and 39 after-school clubs. Ofsted has inspected 120 of them and rated 113 Good or better, 25 of them Outstanding. 169 have never been inspected, which usually means recently registered. Of those that publish a price, a full day runs from £25 to £60, typically £51. Across Bradford there are 22 places per 100 children under five, worse supplied than England as a whole at 32.

Places per 100 under-fives is registered capacity at nurseries, pre-schools and childminders across Bradford, divided by the children aged 0 to 4 who live there at the 2021 Census. It compares areas; it is not a count of free places today. It also leaves out the 140 school nursery classes across Bradford, because nobody publishes how many children they take.

Questions

What people ask about childcare in Bradford

Answered from the figures on this page, so they stay in step with it.

How much does nursery cost in Bradford?

Of the 14 full-day rates published by settings in Bradford, the typical price is £51 a day, ranging from £25 to £60. These are prices the settings publish themselves, not an average of quotes.

Which nurseries in Bradford take funded hours?

114 of the 289 settings in Bradford are recorded as taking the government funded hours. Councils do not publish a list of approved providers, so the rest are unknown rather than a no.

Are any nurseries in Bradford rated Outstanding?

Yes. 25 of the 120 settings Ofsted has inspected in Bradford hold an Outstanding grade.

Which nurseries in Bradford take babies?

154 settings in Bradford are registered to take children under two. Ofsted's register does not say whether a setting runs a baby room or has space in it, so ring before you plan around it.

Is it hard to get a nursery place in Bradford?

Bradford has 22 registered childcare places for every 100 children under five, against 32 across England. That is registered capacity rather than free places, so it compares areas rather than telling you what is available this week.
