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.

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.

A fantastic nursery!! My two children (3 years and 1 year) have been attending 8 months now and they have made great progress. The management are always on hand in the various rooms to speak to parents. The staff are well trained and caring toward the little ones which great activities. The equipment and resources are amazing. The children are extremely lucky to have such an environment to learn in with small ratios. 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

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.

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. 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.

I am a level 3 Nursery practitioner, I always wanted to work with children, to make a positive impact on peoples lives and thought there was no better way than helping children to grow and learn skills that they can use throughout life!
My hobbies outside of nursery life include going on long walks and going to the gym.

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.
