To provide a processing method for a silver halide color photographic sensitive material in which excellent long-term storage stability of a color developer composition is ensured, production of a tarry precipitate in a bleaching tank is suppressed even in small-quantity processing, excellent bleaching performance is ensured, and processing stain is diminished.

In the processing method for a silver halide color photographic sensitive material, processing is performed through a color developing step and a bleaching step. A color developing solution used in the color developing step contains a hydroxyalkyl substituted p-phenylenediamine developing agent, wherein a K ion to Na ion molar ratio is 3-20, a bleaching solution used in the bleaching step contains at least a ferric complex salt of 1,3-propanediaminetetraacetic acid, and a replenishment quantity of a bleaching replenisher is ≥100 ml/m2.
