About our Nursery

Our beautiful nursery is based in a three-story Victorian townhouse, set back from the road and opposite the beautiful York Racecourse. Buses run frequently in and out of the city, with a bus stop directly outside the nursery.

One of the most popular aspects of our nursery is our Forest School, located just 10 minutes away in a peaceful woodland environment, offers children the chance to explore and learn in a dedicated outdoor classroom surrounded by nature.
