Your early learning and childcare options

Early learning and childcare availability

Updated 17 September 2024. We aim to keep this information as accurate as possible. You can contact the settings for up to date information, and to be added to waiting lists.

To help you find an Early Learning and Childcare (ELC) provider in your area, below are the settings with places available.

If a setting is full, they hold a waiting list for new starters. They allocate places when available in accordance with our admissions policy (PDF). However, children are entitled to a place, and you should consider other places for your eligible children.

Children can stay on a waiting list if they attend another provider.

Childminders

There are also childminders in each learning community that provide ELC places.
