Childcare at its best
Our nursery is a member of the NDNA (National Day Nurseries Association) and the Haxby & Wigginton Local Foundation Stage Partnership. We offer the Early Years' Education (EYF) funded places for 2, 3 & 4 year olds. The curriculum we use at Little Acorns is 'Development Matters'. We also use the 'Famly' app for communication.
Each child is individual, and at Little Acorns Day Nursery we recognise this. Children are encouraged to learn and play at their own pace. We offer a safe, caring, fun and stimulating environment in which children blossom from Little Acorns to Mighty Oaks.

Visit our nursery today
During your first visit, you will fill in a couple of forms with the child's key person. After your first visit, settling in sessions will be arranged, where your child will be left with the nursery staff on their own. These visits will carry on until your child has settled and you're comfortable leaving them here. You can come to our nursery anytime, and we also provide you with daily progress reports of
your child through the 'Famly' app. We are open 7:30 am to 6:00 pm,. Children up to 5 years old are welcome during holiday times, but spaces are limited.
