Little Bugs has provided a nurturing and caring environment for our little boy as well as being jam-packed full of fun. Our son especially loves the outdoor space, visiting the animals and being creative. The staff are wonderful and we would highly recommend Little Bugs Childcare!
I can only praise Little Bugs for the care they have shown my youngest son since he started with them almost a year ago. Not only are the facilities and setting second to none but the staff are so friendly, welcoming and enthusiastic. Activities and play are engaging,varied and fun and everything and everyone seems to go above and beyond. Thank you!
My little girl's key worker is amazing! The other girls in the baby room are also brilliant! Couldn’t recommend this nursery enough. The children have so much choice of things to do here. They provide the children with a wide range of food that I would of never have thought to try with my little girl. Little Bugs is first class!
My son loves it.
They are well organised and have lots of different activities and great equipment for the children to play/learn with.
The staff and great. They show genuine interest in each and every child they care for.
The variety of food is also amazing. The chefs do a great job.
They do not get enough praise for the work they do.
My son has settled really well into the baby room at Little Bugs nursery. We get excellent updates on his day on pick up and in our baby diary. I love that they can use the facilities at Creepy Crawlies with the soft play and outdoor area with animals.
Any nerves I had about my little boy starting nursery have been unfounded as he is thoroughly enjoying his time there and his development is coming on leaps and bounds.
I was so nervous putting my little boy into childcare at 9 months old, but wow he has come along so much! He eats so well now and is chatting and singing away all the time! He LOVES it!
The staff are amazing they adore all the kids and are brilliant at fitting my little boy in as I don’t work set days or shifts!
So so pleased! Thank you, Little Bugs xxx
Little Bugs is a great nursery. My daughter has been going for a year. The facilities are fabulous. She gets to play outside as often as possible when the weather is nice, she sees the animals at Creepy Crawlies. Every time I drop her off she smiles and can't wait to get her coat off. The staff are all great, they show knowledge in the development and care of children but are also friendly, approachable and show genuine care and affection for the children. I would recommend Little Bugs to anyone.
Well done Little Bugs!!
My son absolutely loves attending Little Bugs nursery. They have Such fantastic facilities to keep little people entertained both indoors and outdoors and do they varied activities every day. The staff are super friendly and helpful and my son has a really good bond with them. Would highly recommend.
I'm so happy with this nursery. My son is autistic and when he started nursery our world was completely upside down. What the staff at Little Bugs have done to help us is just amazing, they have gone above and beyond what we could've ever expected. They've taken him under their wing and done a great job which in turn has given us as a family confidence to do normal day to day activities we wouldn't have considered doing before. Can't thank them enough.
Both my sons attend Little Bugs Childcare and thoroughly enjoy going. The facilities there are second to none and the structure they have around learning and development is fantastic. My sons are constantly bringing things home that they have made, and Little Bugs Childcare always manages to blend creativity and learning which makes it such fun for them. The team there are so friendly and my sons' learning and development have certainly grown from attending Little Bugs.
I would highly recommend Little Bugs Childcare to anyone looking for childcare facilities.
My son has attended Little Bugs Childcare for just over a year and he has come on leaps and bounds with the help and guidance of all the amazing staff. He loves it there and I am so pleased that I chose this nursery for him. It has a lovely, warm, welcoming, fun and relaxed air about it. Highly recommend.
My son loves going to Little Bugs Childcare. The facilities are brilliant and the staff are very caring and friendly. My son has come on leaps and bounds since he started going to Little Bugs, and it's usually a struggle to get him to leave in the afternoons as he has so much fun!
Our daughter is well looked after and very happy at Little Bugs. The staff go the extra mile to look after the children and we are really impressed with the range of activities on offer. It's great that she can visit creepy crawlies every day and she absolutely loves visiting the animals. The variety of food is excellent. We would definitely recommend Little Bugs.
Wonderful nursery. Staff are natural and attentive. They gently discipline and teach in a variety of fun ways. Every day brings new activities and adventures. The nursery has amazing resources and even more through access to creepy crawlies. I feel my children are well looked after, stimulated and constantly learning.
I love the flexibility that they offer and understand the demands of a working mum!!
Thank you Little Bugs Childcare!
My 2 and a half-year-old has been going to the nursery since Easter and loves it. since starting at the nursery she has developed so much. The team at the nursery are fantastic and really make such a great effort to take care of the children and have helped Gracie build her confidence up massively. Her speech and understanding has come on so much. I love this nursery and would recommend it to anyone. I'll be sending my youngest also once it's time for her to go
LOADS for our daughter to do both indoors and outdoors...including playing in the soft play area Creepy Crawlies each day!
She really enjoys it and has come on leaps since starting here.
My daughter started Little Bugs Childcare in January 2014 after her third birthday and settled in amazingly due to the staff's care and commitment! As an early years teacher myself I had very high standards of what I was looking for in a nursery setting for my daughter and Little Bugs Childcare fit our needs and was just what I was looking for! My daughter is now about to start school and had an amazing time at the nursery, she has come on so much and talks often about nursery!
My daughter is getting on really well at little bugs since starting in March this year. The setting is fantastic with lots of outdoor activities and regular visits to the onsite soft play area. The staff are really good with the children being supportive, friendly, kind and encouraging. I know she has great fun while she is there as it's a job to drag her away at the end of the day sometimes! The giant sand pit is a particular favourite. We get a daily progress report and she regularly brings things home that she has made during the day. Learning is encouraged through play and there is plenty for the children to do to keep those little minds busy! I would recommend this nursery to anyone in to York area.

“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.
I graduated from Lancaster University in 2019, with a degree BSc(Hons) Psychology, in which I specialised in children’s development and language. I absolutely love working at Little Bugs, the team and the children are all amazing!
When I’m not at work, I enjoy walking my chocolate Labrador called Coco, going to classic car auctions and watching road cycling races.
My hobbies outside of nursery life include going on long walks and going to the gym.
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.
I have worked in childcare for 12 years, I have a BA Hons in Educational Leadership for the Children’s Workforce.
I really enjoy working as part of a team and leading others to provide high-quality care, it’s a privilege to play a part in each child’s development.
I like NFL, Netflix, food and badminton!
