About this data & sources
Capacity and openings come from the ward's own sheet, 「令和8年10月入園 認可保育施設の定員と募集数」, figures as of 1 October 2026. All 194 licensed facilities are included, and the numbers reconcile exactly against the ward's published totals: 15,929 places, 447 openings.
Addresses and phone numbers come from Edogawa City's own facility directories —
認可保育園,
小規模保育所,
認定こども園 and
事業所内保育所.
Every one of the 194 has a verified address.
The index calculator follows the ward's published
利用調整指数表
and reproduces all three of the worked examples the ward gives on
利用調整の基本.
It covers work-based scoring, which is most households; illness, caregiving, study and job-hunting are on the ward's fuller table and aren't scored here. It's an estimate, not a decision.
Distances are approximate. Both your postcode and each nursery sit at the centre of their town (町丁目), so a figure is good to roughly half a kilometre. Use it to shortlist; the exact address is on each nursery's page.
A nursery showing 0 open still accepts applications — the ward states places come free after publication.
Figures here are reproduced as factual data from Edogawa City's published sheets, with the ward credited as the source; no part of the ward's own pages or documents is republished.
