Little Green Rascals Day Nursery Elvington boasts a generous 420 square meters of outdoor space, ensuring endless opportunities for exploration and adventure. The nursery offers exceptional care, enriched by unique learning opportunities for your child. One such experience is child-friendly cooking classes, helping to equip children with valuable skills and deeper knowledge of the cooking process.
Inside, the team follow the areas of learning and development set out in the Early Years Foundation stage. Outside, the beautifully landscaped gardens are a daily haven for the children. They can freely ride bicycles, engage in imaginative play in the mud kitchens, traverse willow tunnels, unleash their creativity on giant musical instruments, conquer the expansive wooden play apparatus and joyfully leap into the deepest of puddles!
In Wiggle Worms, the youngest babies embark on a journey of learning and exploration through sensory activities. The dedicated team fosters strong relationships, ensuring a smooth settling-in process for both you and your baby.
In Dancing Dragonflies, children are encouraged to develop independence and curiosity. They can climb the indoor climbing frame, engage in imaginative play within home corners and challenge themselves with puzzles that stretch their mathematical abilities.
In Cheeky Hens, the enhancement of speech, language and understanding of skills is a priority. Daily messy play activities ignite creativity, while focused topics deepen the children's knowledge and understanding of the world around them.
The team foster each child’s development as independent learners, ensuring they are enthusiastic and well-prepared for school when September arrives. At this age, free-flow access makes it possible to spend entire days immersed in the captivating gardens!
There is ample parking onsite for pick-up and drop-off. This can be busy during peak periods for York Maze Visitor Attraction (as this is on the same site).

We could not recommend a day nursery as highly as Little Green Rascals. Not only is all their food organic, but all the staff are understanding of food allergies; with the varied special diets. We’re amazed how vigilant the staff are in keeping control of each individual child’s allergies. Add to this, the “caringness” of the staff — you always see them snuggling a little one who is missing mummy or who has just woken up, grumpy. The greatest feedback: you always see happy, communicative little ones calmly getting on with their activities.
Finally, from the perspective of our own little one, the outdoors is the main feature; ours loves the outdoor adventure space and activities. When we collect our just-turned-two-year-old, she’s learned new words and phrases (indicating the staff communicate well to the children). After her long afternoon at nursery, our darling is always happy, chattering all about her happy day. There’s nowhere we’d be happier to leave our precious little darling.

Overall Experience
Being the youngest in the wiggly worms group does not prevent the staff including him in all the activities and adapting them appropriately.
He is thriving in the environment and is obviously very happy in the company of the staff looking after him.

My little boy started only a few weeks ago, I was that typical mother constantly worried about how settled he was and whether he was enjoying himself. The room leader and his key worker really went above and beyond, updating me via family reassuring me and telling me I can contact any time. The food always smells delicious and all staff are so easy to speak too. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Little Green Rascals to anyone.
5 stars.

What can I say this nursery is just a fabulous place. The staff are amazing the food surpasses anything I could cook at home. Varied, nutritious and delicious. The outdoor space is unlimited which was very important for us as our little one loves to be running around in the fresh air. The trips they take them on (Castleford Snodome, The access to the maze) the extracurricular activities like ballet and Tatty Bumpkin are amazing. My little one loves it there. I wish she could stay there for school!!

Both of my boys have been to Little Green Rascals at Elvington. They have both thrived there and all the key workers they have had have been great and welcoming. The nursery has been very accommodating when I’ve needed changes in days. It’s lovely and clean and they are always spending money to keep it looking nice/fresh. The food is great and locally sourced and my boys have always eaten the varied menu. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Elvington. I’ll be sad once my youngest doesn’t go anymore.

My daughter is in the baby room, staff are wonderful and so helpful and particularly one member who has a loving bond with my daughter, they enjoy singing and painting and music making. I get regular updates on the family app which includes photos. My son is in Preschool and enjoys the Forest School days children can play and learn outdoors skills including making crafts with wood and cooking on a campfire - parents are invited to join the Forest School staff are really dedicated to providing children with a safe and fun forest space to learn and explore. Outdoor activities have been positive for our son as he often is shy in a large group. I attended a session on how to help our son with his sounds and reading which was useful and will hopefully be a stepping stone to school in Sept. Management were helpful when I was stuck for childcare and allowed me to take lieu days at short notice. The chef is friendly and encourages us to try the foods on his menu - all delicious and nutritious.

Moving from London to Yorkshire was a daunting prospect for many reasons but finding a new nursery was near the top of the list! Visiting Little Greens, I fell in love with it and even though they didn't have as much availability I had been hoping for, we signed up! My 3-year-old has been there for a year and my 1 year old started about 10 weeks ago, they love it, the environment is great, the food is delicious and the staff are lovely. Added bonuses are the amazing forest school facilities, regular day trips to the maze and other Yorkshire attractions, as well as regular opportunities for parents to come and visit or attend training sessions.
