Childcare and children's centres

There are various childcare options available in Luton for parents who wish to return to work or education, or who wish to provide their child with a social environment to meet other children.

All childcare places are registered with Ofsted (unless otherwise stated) and are regularly inspected.
Nurseries, pre schools, day nurseries or children’s centres are collectively referred to as Childcare Settings. They all follow Foundation Stage Curriculum which is a national framework to support children in their earliest years.

Childminders provide care for children in a home environment and also follow the Foundation Stage Curriculum.
