Mini Explorers Crabtree Hall – The UK’s First Recognised Farm School Nursery.
Mini Explorers at Crabtree Hall is proud to be the UK’s first recognised Farm School Nursery, offering a unique and enriching early years experience rooted in nature, outdoor learning, and farm life. Located on a working farm in the heart of the North Yorkshire countryside, the Mini Explorers provides children with daily opportunities to connect with the natural world.
From the youngest babies in the Baby Bunnies room to the confident pre-schoolers in Farm School Two, children explore fields, woodlands, and the wider Crabtree Hall estate. They engage with real-life learning through experiences such as feeding animals, planting crops, and observing seasonal changes. These experiences help to build confidence, independence, and a strong sense of curiosity about the world around them.
Mini Explorers promotes a deep understanding of animal welfare, food production, and environmental responsibility. Children are encouraged to take risks, solve problems, and build resilience through both guided activities and child-led exploration.
The dedicated team of Early Years Educators at Mini Explorers combines the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) with outdoor, farm-based learning. Children benefit from rich, hands-on experiences that promote physical development, emotional wellbeing, and social skills, all while fostering a lifelong respect for the environment.
With its strong focus on outdoor learning and meaningful experiences, Mini Explorers provides a truly special setting where children grow, thrive, and develop the foundations for a lifelong love of learning.

About this price
How funding is applied, how the monthly figure is calculated.More info
- Working parents of children aged 9 months to 2 years can usually claim up to 30 funded hours a week. The working-parent hours depend on each parent meeting the minimum earnings rules and earning under £100,000 a year. This nursery stretches funded hours across 51 weeks of the year. You've selected 30 funded hours.
- This nursery applies up to 10 funded hours per day, stretched across 51 weeks of the year. With your selected funding, 22.4 hours are covered each week. Hours beyond this, including the early and late parts of the day, are charged at the standard rate.
- We work out the total cost across the year and divide by 12, so the figure shown is a smoothed monthly average. In practice, nurseries bill in different ways. Some bill monthly at this average. Others bill weekly, or charge for what happened that week or month, which can vary across the year. Confirm billing details with the nursery when you enquire.

Thank you so much for your kind words. We're delighted to hear how happy your little one is at Mini Explorers and that you value the care, attention, and outdoor experiences we offer. It means a great deal to our team to know our children are thriving and enjoying their days with us. Thank you for your lovely support.

I feel very lucky my son gets to go here and I just wish I had more days for him. He's learnt so much, is cared for, adores all staff in baby bunnies and gets excited to be there. My only small change would be staff at handover providing a clearer update in regards to food or naps as sometimes what is said doesn't match the app which can be confusing if he's poorly or understanding his food intake. It's nothing major just one small thing if I was to give it. I can't thank you all enough.
Thank you so much for such a thoughtful and balanced review. We're so pleased to hear how happy your son is in Baby Bunnies and how excited he is to be here - that really means the world to us. Knowing he feels cared for, secure, and is learning so much is exactly what we strive for every...
Thank you so much for such a thoughtful and balanced review. We're so pleased to hear how happy your son is in Baby Bunnies and how excited he is to be here - that really means the world to us. Knowing he feels cared for, secure, and is learning so much is exactly what we strive for every day.
We also really appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback about handovers. This is genuinely helpful, and we completely understand how important clear, consistent information is, especially around sleep and food. We'll be sharing this with the team to ensure verbal handovers and app updates align more closely moving forward.

I'd have no issues in recommending Mini Explorers as a nursery to anyone.
Thank you so much for your lovely review. We're delighted to hear how much your children enjoy their time at Mini Explorers and that they go home with so many stories to share - that's exactly what we love to see! Our team will be so pleased to know their efforts are appreciated, and it means a lot to us that you would recommend us to others.

I find this nursery exceptional, not only is the care good but the surroundings and what it has to offer to my child is like no other nursey. My child's sibling also attended this nursery and he loved it, he had extra needs and they provided this unconditionally. I have no negatives about this nursery, staff are always happy to listen to your worries or concerns and put you at ease. The food is great all freshly made.

Such an amazing facility, the staff are wonderful. I am amazed at the ongoing enthusiasm and diversity in activities including animals, tractors and Christmas trees- external visitors such as ponies, ice cream van,fish and chip van. They populate a wonderful Calander of events through the year to include parents and grandparents in their care. The play areas are wonderful just food fabulous!

Thank you again for your support, and for being such an important part of our Mini Explorers community!
Mini explorers have been nothing but accommodating towards my child and helping her progress. When she joined in May she was barely able to say 1 word clearly and was struggling with 'school life'. The time and energy the staff have put in to make her feel comfortable and safe enough to grow and...
Amazing team that actually care about children's growth and will accommodate to the children's learning needs.
Thank you so much for your lovely review. We're thrilled to see how much progress your little one has made and that she enjoys coming in each day. It means the world to us that she feels happy, safe, and supported!

I've had 2 children go through this nursery over the last 3 years and have nothing but good things to say about the setting and the staff in all of the rooms. My children have thoroughly enjoyed their time at the nursery and have made connections with numerous members of the team. Would highly recommend it to anybody looking at a setting for their children.

Communication with parents has improved but we are never asked our opinions or thoughts on things. Staff turn over is high, there are some long standing members of staff but often staff move on.
This is a higher end priced nursery and over the past few years prices have soared well above inflation. The price structure can be unfair, charging parents when it is bank holidays or the nursery is closed over Christmas so children can't attend if parents wanted them to. If you have a half day it is considerably more and you have to pay for lunch on top. There is no flexibility in when you use your funded hours it is a one time bracket fits all.
Overall from a child care provider I do highly recommend Mini's.
- beautiful outdoor setting (forest school every day, including coming home very muddy!).
- some staff in the rooms are brilliant.

- beautiful outdoor setting (forest school every day, including coming home very muddy!).
- some staff in the rooms are brilliant.
Things we don't recommend
- poor communication with management, e.g. changing T&Cs of our payments without any notice and not being forthcoming with information when asked for details.
- unfair bank holiday policy, including a consumable charge when no items are consumed.
- 12% April price increase, well above inflation.
- Feeling penalised as a customer needing additional days above funded hours e.g. swapping to term time only and having to continue to pay full price to keep the day, when families using only funded hours don't.
- Not feeling listened to as a parent is hard, after an incident with our child using a hot tap in the children's sink, a warning sign was put up (can any children at the nursery read?).
On balance, we would say our child would recommend the nursery, but, as parents, we would not recommend the customer service.

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We are disappointed that certain aspects of your experience did not meet your expectations. At Mini Explorers, we are dedicated to delivering the highest standard of service, and we have taken your comments seriously. Due to the presence of animals in our setting, the taps must reach a specific temperature to effectively eliminate bacteria that may be on the children's hands. Our signs are intended to alert others to the hot water, and it is our policy that children use the sinks only under adult supervision. While we understand the incident occurred while your child was under your care, we acknowledge the need to maintain clear guidelines to avoid any confusion. We are glad to hear you enjoyed our outdoor setting and the efforts we've made to create a stimulating environment for the children.
My daughter has been going to Mini Explorers for a year, and it is the most amazing place. She’s so happy, loves all the activities and is excited to go there in the morning. I can’t recommend this nursery enough - absolutely fantastic with lovely staff who are always supportive and helpful.

Thank you very much for your review. We love having you as part of our Mini Explorers family!
The most perfect nursery we could ask for. We are so happy that we found Mini Explorers Nursery as it is the ideal setting for our daughter. It’s based on a gorgeous farm/hall estate and the children’s time there is centred around being outdoors and exploring the wonderful scenery. They go out and...
We feel so confident that our daughter is in safe hands and is going to have a fantastic day every time we drop her off.
The facilities are amazing, with separate rooms/buildings for each age group but they will often come together for meals/celebrations which is really lovely.
All in all, we would recommend Mini Explorers to everyone!
Thank you very much! I am sure that member of staff will be overwhelmed with her little mention here too!
This is a truly incredible nursery! The farm concept allows the children to spend the majority of their day outside exploring and having fun with their friends and children are given learning opportunities like no other. Feeding the animals, watching the farmer and running through the fields to...
All snacks and meals are clearly carefully planned to develop the little ones' taste buds as well as being nutritionally beneficial, from roast dinner to BBQs around the fire pit (the odd hot chocolate in the field is an added treat), we are always amazed when the menus are shared.
The highlight for us, as parents, is the staff. Our daughter joined when she was almost 1 and the love and care she was shown in Hoppity Hares, by not only her key worker but all the staff, meant that we have never had any separation issues at drop off. Toddlers has been equally as amazing this year, roll on the fun and frivolities of Farm School One!
Thank you for your comment regarding the staff. We are truly blessed with such a fabulous team who care so much about each and every one of our Mini Explorers! Thank you.

The Mini Explorers management team along with the incredible educators have been nothing but brilliant in helping develop and meet our daughter's needs. Our daughter has Special Educational Needs and an Autism diagnosis and Mini Explorers have met her needs more then we could have hoped. Working alongside the SenCo and having a 1-1 support assigned to our daughter has been amazing. The communication between us and the setting is easy and has made us feel comfortable and secure in knowing our daughter is being given the best chance possible being included alongside the other children and educators.
We couldn’t have asked for a better place to send our daughter and the development from when she started to now is amazing. I would recommend Mini Explorers highly.
It has been an absolute pleasure to have you with us over the last few years, and seeing the progress made is magical!
We believe all children should be treat with the upmost respect and entitled to the same opportunities regardless of any additional needs they may have.

The absolute best nursery, I don’t have a bad word to say. My daughter is absolutely thriving thanks to the whole team at Mini Explorers. She loves going to nursery, even on her days off it’s all she speaks about. They’re always outdoors playing, going on adventures and seeing their animals. The meals that get made for children are always amazing, I get jealous when I see on the app all the lovely food they’ve had each day. It really is an amazing nursery in every single aspect, I wouldn’t want my girl anywhere else.
This is so lovely to hear! It's a pleasure having you as part of our Mini Explorers family, thank you!

I could not recommend Mini Explorers enough. My little boy has been tube-fed since he was 6 weeks old and I knew finding a nursery to accommodate his needs wouldn’t be easy but the management/staff at Mini Explorers couldn’t have done more to help us. They welcomed him with open arms and every member of staff who played a part in his care learned how to feed him so quickly and with such confidence, it really did put my mind at ease that he was in safe hands when I went back to work. I couldn’t fault them in any way as they have everything and more anyone could ever ask from a nursery and taking care of their children. They provided him with such love and care, nothing was ever too much trouble when it came to his extra needs. He loved his time there in hoppity hares and the toddler room and settled in so quickly, he was very happy and all the girls are just amazing! We are very lucky he had such a wonderful start to his educational journey and I can’t thank you all enough!
He was a dream to have within the nursery, and that cheeky little smile always made our day.
We were so pleased we were able to help you when you'd been turned away by another provider. We are so happy you came to us!
Thank you!

I have two children at Mini Explorers who are 3 years and 12 months and we have been using this fantastic nursery for over 2 years now.
They provide the most incredible learning environment for the children, utilising the farm and land around them to the full. They are outside come rain or shine, and they expose the children to things that most standard nurseries couldn’t even dream of. There are always lots of parent engagement activities and we get lots of daily updates both on the app and at pick-up.
The food is phenomenal, all home cooked and offering superb variety and flavours. The staff are always so helpful and my children have grown very attached to them throughout their time.
I couldn’t recommend it more highly - a home from home.
Your review is so lovely, thank you very much!
Your children are assets to our nursery, and we love having them with us.
Our Farm Nursery really is a unique concept which we are very proud of - and so is Farmer Mark!
Learning all about the real world and environment around them.
My children love it here. And really thrive from their sessions at nursery.

The food is cooked onsite using local organic produce and is varied. The outdoor environment is fantastic in all weather, which creates learning in a great...
I could not be more grateful for the highest level of care that is given by the teams in the rooms to the management.
As we always say, there's no such thing as bad weather!
Mini Explores provide such a fun, caring, adventurous environment where learning and the outdoors are at the forefront. Marvellous staff that are passionate about their jobs and is demonstrated in their caring attitude towards all the children.

Everything is provided, most importantly, the snacks, which isn’t that every child’s favourite time of the day?!
The staff are fantastic, and he runs in happily on a morning, ready to start his day!
The outside space is amazing, and feeding the animals whilst learning all at the same time - he even teaches us about different farming machinery now!
We always knew this was the right place for him as he just loves the outdoors and will soon be sending our youngest there.
From singing and drinking hot chocolate around the campfire to growing their own vegetable, this really is a child’s heaven!
The nursery also gets the whole family involved, which is lovely - firework displays and nativities, there is so much going on!
I couldn't say it better myself - what more could a little one wish for!

Mark Pybus, or ‘Farmer Mark’ as he is known to our children, is our resident farmer and agronomist. When he’s not zooming about the farm in his distinctive black Land Rover looking busy and important, he can often be found talking to small groups of Mini Explorers about his work and enlisting their help to plant trees, move chicken sheds and mend fences. There are always jobs to be done!
