Childcare in Pudsey
Pudsey has 10 day nurseries, 8 school nursery classes, 9 childminders and 5 after-school clubs. Ofsted has inspected 19 of them, and rated every one Good or better, 6 of them Outstanding. 13 have never been inspected, which usually means recently registered. 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.
