Little Bugs Childcare offers full and part-time childcare for children between 0 and 12 years. They are conveniently situated just off the York outer ring road and open from 7.30am to 6pm, Monday to Friday.
They offer 30 hours free childcare and parents and carers are very welcome to visit anytime.
Every child is treated as a developing individual and provide the support, surroundings and encouragement for a happy and fulfilling childhood. They have a friendly team of qualified childcare professionals with high staff to child ratios, to enable the team to build close relationships with each child.
Children are encouraged to discover and learn through a mix of structured activities, group or individual projects and personal encouragement. They follow the Reggio approach to childcare, supporting a child’s natural curiosity through a wide range of experiences with lots of positive support from staff.
Set within the Web Adventure Park, a large indoor and outdoor family attraction, the children are able to access all the fantastic facilities. They have a vast array of exciting play spaces both indoors and out, and are proud to be a Forest School.
Children have on-site access to a dipping pond, generous and well equipped outdoor play areas and an orchard as well as exclusive use of the facilities at the Web Adventure Park each day before 9.30am. Their facilities enable them to offer a huge range of exciting and relaxing activities throughout the typical day, with two large independent nursery units with private outdoor gardens away from the park, the children have the best of both worlds!
They currently have availability in the baby, toddler and pre-school settings. Holiday care for 6 - 12 year olds is offered.

My son started in May 2024, and the nursery has been fantastic with him. The updates and photos throughout the day are amazing, giving me peace of mind and keeping me involved in his journey. I have definitely seen a positive change in his confidence and development since he started. The staff are caring and truly go the extra mile to create a nurturing environment. I couldn't be happier with our experience
We have had a great experience with little bugs nursery, great place, great facilities and great staff. Definitely recommend. Communication has always been good and they really care about the children's development and happiness.

I couldn't recommend the nursery highly enough - the children have access to amazing facilities (indoor soft play, outdoor pedal bikes, sand and water park, animals and a nursery forest school). The staff there have always come across like they really care about the children and their development. You get excellent updates over the app and a handover at pick-up. The children also seem to do a range of interesting activities. The food is excellent - I think it's made on-site (at Web) and varied recipes, not just chicken nuggets and chips.
The facilities they have make it a fun place for children to go!

All the staff are lovely and with sending my 2nd child it's so nice to see the same staff working there which speaks volumes!
Fantastic! Our little bug has allergies and the staff go above and beyond to ensure he doesn't miss out at meal time.

Fantastic! Our little bug has allergies and the staff go above and beyond to ensure he doesn't miss out at meal time. He looks forward to going to nursery and on the weekends he's asking to go to nursery (I try not to get offended). He's developed so much since starting in 2023. He was once fairly quiet and refused to smile. He's now the centre of all activities and full of beans at every pick up. When our eldest child left for school we decided to stick with little bugs, despite it being out of our way! We love it and we love the special bond between our children and the staff! Thank you, you guys are amazing
Staff are so lovely and both my kids have love/loved being at little bugs. Especially love how much space they have and that they can use the web too which makes it so different from other nursery's. Fantastic nursery and would recommend.

The activities are planned with precision and engagement in mind. I will be sad when my little one leaves but for now, we will keep on enjoying it!
We could not have asked for a better nursery in terms of infrastructure and attention to care for our two little rascals.

We could not have asked for a better nursery in terms of infrastructure and attention to care for our two little rascals. We’ve been through two nurseries and a childminder and there is no comparison. My boys literally go to a theme park daily and get to see Santa and pick pumpkins without having to pay through my nose for these activities. The management and the girls are amazing, experienced and accommodating. My boys are really happy here. I never had them complaining about going to nursery.
Little Bugs Nursery is outstanding. The facilities are amazing, not just within the nursery itself, but with so much outdoor space and access to the web adventure and animals area, so many opportunities for exploration and play! The learning resources and activities are diverse, educational and...
The staff team are superstars, you can see that they build genuine and real connections with the children and my daughter trusts and loves them. Equally, management is incredibly friendly, approachable and responsive. I really couldn’t fault Little Bugs Nursery and would absolutely recommend them for anyone looking for a nurturing, educational, fun and safe environment for their child!

Little Bugs has been absolutely fantastic for our toddler, from when he first started at 9 months old to him now transitioning to the Toddler room. In addition to getting regular updates through the app, I feel staff genuinely care about my little boy and he's getting eager to get his shoes and coat on, ready for nursery each morning. They're supportive of our wishes for his potty training and have a good sense of him. The connection with The Web is a real added bonus! It’s a little further for us to travel, but with how much he loves it, it’s definitely the best choice for us.

Such a variety of things done.
My little one has a dairy allergy and they make sure she is included in all activities with specialist ingredients if needed.

The facilities are great, with access to the Adventure Park. They also have an app where I can track my daughter's food/snack intake for breakfast/lunch/dinner.
Our baby started nursery this September at 15 months of age, from the moment I stepped inside I knew it was the nursery for us and this has been made clear following the past two months, staff have been very child-focused and allowed my child to settle in calmly.

The staff are so friendly, we have recommended this nursery to our friends who have had/having children and they too, have secured a place here.
A fantastic, caring and nurturing setting for my little girl. The connection the staff have made with both my little girl and us as parents make me recommend the nursery to anyone who is looking for a childcare setting that will encourage, develop, offer variation as well as good value for money.

Little Bugs Childcare is the absolute best! The care and creativity for the activities planned daily are outstanding! My daughter loves to go to spend the day with her preschoolers! Our daughter's key worker has the most golden heart and we believe she loves our daughter as much as we do! We experience our daughter daily having learnt something new and it’s all down to the fantastic and amazing team at Little Bugs! We had the option of our daughter to attend our village preschool this year but Little Bugs meant too much to us for her to leave! Our daughter loves the meals on offer, always varied with healthy options. Finally, little bugs have always accommodated the days we needed child care for they are so organised with systems and make it easy for parents with the app. We really don’t think there’s a better childcare provider in York! We love the Little Bugs team!

Little Bugs Childcare is an exceptional nursery, it's so much more than a nursery, it has the feel of a second home. The staff goes above and beyond while caring for my two girls. There is always a huge selection of activities. The outside space is out of this world and if that is not enough the children have the use of Creepy Crawlies inside and outdoor space. My girls have both been thriving in the setting. It's an outstanding nursery and I recommend it to anyone.

“I have worked in childcare for more years than I would like to admit! I have experience of caring for children in many different situations from being a private nanny, working in schools, private day nurseries and through being a Beaver Scout Leader. I love to watch and help the children in my care to learn and develop new skills which are going to help them in their future. I feel the best thing we can do as childcare practitioners is to encourage children to fully appreciate their childhood and treasure it and the memories they will make during it.”

“I have worked in childcare for seven years since I left school. I went to college for two years and I achieved a BTEC national diploma level 3 in Early Years. I have worked with all ages of children up to the age of 8, I have done this through working in baby units, toddlers, pre-school and reception classes. I enjoy making great relationships with the children whilst helping them learn and develop new skills.

Hi my names Niamh and I’ve been working at Little Bugs since August 2019 and am training to become the nursery’s Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENCo).I graduated from Lancaster University in 2019, with a degree BSc(Hons) Psychology, in which I specialised in children’s development and language.

Hello my name is Emma I have worked in childcare since leaving school I knew all along even from being at school that I wanted to work within a childcare setting.I find it very rewarding helping the children learn and develop.
I am a level 3 trained nursery practitioner and I have worked with children from babies to the age of 12, and find every age group rewarding to work with for different reasons.
