Where our data comes from

Ofsted childcare providers and inspections

Nursery names, addresses, registration details, places and inspection results come from Ofsted’s childcare providers and inspections management information, currently the release as at 30 June 2026. Ofsted updates this data twice a year, so a very recent inspection may not show here yet. The official reports are always on Ofsted’s reports website.

Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0.

Which settings we list

Day nurseries and pre-schools (“full day care” and “sessional day care” on non-domestic premises) registered on the Early Years Register in England. Childminders and out-of-school clubs aren’t listed yet. A small number of settings whose address Ofsted withholds aren’t shown.

Postcodes and locations
