There are 12 Council Day Nurseries (Neighbourhood Nurseries) throughout the Wakefield District and 5 of these are run by the Council. The following information just concerns Council Day Nurseries.

The Council Day Nurseries provide child-centred learning with a clear link between care and education. They are in purposely designed childcare facilities, fully-equipped and resourced to high standards. They may also provide more than childcare. Other services include:

• learning and training opportunities for parents and carers
• family learning
• family support
• advice and information.
• links with Children's Centres and Sure Start Local Programmes
• links with local groups, services and organisations

You are more than welcome to arrange a visit to come and look around these nurseries. For more information about booking a visit or if you would like to discuss any other parts of the services offered, please contact a nursery directly.
