Childcare in Leyland
Leyland has 22 day nurseries, 2 pre-schools, 4 school nursery classes, 9 childminders and 6 after-school clubs. Ofsted has inspected 28 of them and rated 25 Good or better, 3 of them Outstanding. 15 have never been inspected, which usually means recently registered. Of those that publish a price, a full day runs from £30 to £62, typically £60. Across Lancashire there are 38 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 Lancashire, 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 227 school nursery classes across Lancashire, because nobody publishes how many children they take.
