The new setting will open on Halifax Road on the site of the former King’s Head pub, which had been empty for two years before Kinder Haven bought the property in 2011.
The Grade II listed building will provide space for 78 children and employ a minimum of 17 members of staff when the nursery opens its doors on Thursday.
Work began on the Bradford property in April and it has taken 23 weeks to complete at a cost of around £450,000. The chain worked with Bradford City Council and English Heritage on the development plans.
Kinder Haven, which was set up in 2002, runs four other nurseries in Bradford and Pudsey, all of which are based in converted pubs or churches.
