Childcare in Castleford (Leeds)
Castleford (Leeds) has 3 day nurseries, 2 school nursery classes and 1 childminder.

Across Leeds there are 30 places per 100 children under five, about the same as England as a whole at 32.
Places per 100 under-fives is registered capacity at nurseries, pre-schools and childminders across Leeds, 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 165 school nursery classes across Leeds, because nobody publishes how many children they take.
