Resourced Nurseries/Children's Centres' Plus

Provision in the pre-5 phase is undergoing change.  Certain nursery schools and primary schools received additional funding to support a fixed number of young children with severe and complex SEN.  These provisions were called resourced nurseries.

Following consultations during 2005 it was agreed to maintain this resourced provision in the Nursery Schools, which will shortly become Children's Centres 'plus' and that the provision in the maintained primary schools would be closed in August 2006 and re-located to other Children's Centres.

The provision from September 2006 is:

Canterbury Children's Centre

Basil Street

Bradford

BD5 9HL

St Edmund's Nursery School and Children's Centre (Girlington)

Bingley Street

Bradford

BD8 9AH

Strong Close Nursery School and Children's Centre

Greenhead Lane

Utley

Keighley

Woodroyd Children's Centre

Woodroyd Road

West Bowling

Bradford

BD5 8EL

Hirst Wood Nursery School (to become a Children's Centre 2007)

Carlton Avenue

Shipley

BD18 4NJ

The provision at Barkerend Primary School will continue until August 2007 when the future provision for this area will have been secured. 

The provision in each of the Children's Centres 'plus' will consist of a minimum of 8 FTE places.  Admissions to this provision is determined by the Early Years Inclusion Panel which is jointly administered by Education Bradford and the Council's Early Years and Childcare Service.
