Childcare in Bridlington
Bridlington has 8 day nurseries, 1 pre-school, 7 school nursery classes and 3 childminders. Ofsted has inspected 9 of them, and rated every one Good or better, 2 of them Outstanding. 10 have never been inspected, which usually means recently registered. Across East Riding of Yorkshire there are 37 places per 100 children under five, better supplied than England as a whole at 32.
Places per 100 under-fives is registered capacity at nurseries, pre-schools and childminders across East Riding of Yorkshire, 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 80 school nursery classes across East Riding of Yorkshire, because nobody publishes how many children they take.
