Child Care Harrogate

Places available across all year groups AND for Reception 2023

Belmont Grosvenor School’s ‘outstanding’ Magic Tree Nursery is a home-from-home for your child – a warm and caring, family nursery welcoming children from three months to four-years-old.

Set in the converted stables block of historic Swarcliffe Hall, home to independent prep school Belmont Grosvenor, staff at Magic Tree pride themselves on developing a child’s lifelong curiosity and confidence through play and adventure.

Making use of the school’s stunning 20-acres of grounds in the village of Birstwith, just a few miles from the centre of Harrogate, children at Magic Tree Nursery are given the freedom to move from indoors to the outdoor space, enjoying a Sensory Garden, extensive paddock with mud kitchen, slides and tunnels for exploration and a playground with climbing frame and bikes.

Being part of Belmont Grosvenor School allows children in Magic Tree Nursery to enjoy a wide range of activities including swimming in the BGS pool, Forest School lessons in the woodland, music and drama and French lessons.

Places are available across ALL year groups at Belmont Grosvenor School, including Reception 2023.

Highfield Pre-School is a leading independent nursery school in Harrogate for boys and girls aged 2-4 years.  In our recent Independent Schools Inspection (ISI) we were awarded the highest possible rating of Excellent in All Areas.

Our Pre-School establishes the foundation for a child’s future learning and it’s where a passion for learning and a love of life begins.  We build on the important role of parents in developing children’s understanding of themselves and their world.

Emphasis is placed on creative, interesting and structured play.  In academic terms, children take their first steps in decision making, problem solving and communicating.  Socially, they make friends and learn to show respect and consideration for others.  Weekly PE, French, Music lessons and Outdoor Learning lessons are included in the fees.

We are located in the Duchy are of Harrogate in a beautiful Victorian house with large airy plays, extensive private gardens and off-street parking.  We also have access to a whole range of facilities at Harrogate Ladies’ College and Highfield Prep School.

Let your child’s adventure begin with Little Explorers Day Nursery. Recently awarded Ofsted ‘Outstanding’, we are small and homely nursery and we recognise that every child is special, making sure that unique learning needs are met and nurtured.

If we’re not going on adventures in our local area – like visiting Ripley castle, chattering to older people in their residential home or supporting local sporting events – we want to bring the outside in. We prioritise our environmental responsibilities by encouraging children to play and interact with natural materials in play and craft activities both indoors and outdoors.

With parent support we will ensure that your child has the very best start during their early years and create a learner for life.  We have funded places available from September: 30 hours or 15 Hours.

If you wish to come and have a look around please contact our team 01423 556764 or email Littleexplorers@harrogate.gov.uk, visit www.harrogate.gov.uk/nursery  or see our adventures on our Facebook page

We are a private day nursery open Monday – Friday 7:30am – 6:00pm 52 weeks a year excluding Bank Holidays

We are a small rural 36 place nursery with extensive outside play areas. We take children aged 6 months – 5 years. We provide government funded places and feed into all the local schools.

Our school-based nursery serves The Upper Nidderdale Primary Federation, but is located at St. Cuthbert’s Primary School in Pateley Bridge. The federation also includes Glasshouses School and Fountains Earth.  All three schools,  in the federation have recently been judged as ‘Good’ schools by Ofsted. Being part of a federation of 3 schools means that parents have more choice when it comes to the school that they want their child to attend. Each of our schools offers something quite unique. Being nestled in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty means that we are able to offer an excellent environment, both inside and out, for children to begin their educational journey. We believe that teacher led provision gives the best possible start and gradually introduces children to the world of primary education.

The children enjoy a wide range of activities from creating masterpieces in our arts and crafts area; making music and learning about the natural world around them. Developing a love of reading is at the heart of everything that we do. We ensure that children receive quality story time throughout the day as well as starting to learn phonics to begin to develop children’s reading and writing skills – the opportunities are endless!

Children spend time in our outside area, including our designated Forest School area. Being a school based nursery, our younger pupils are able to have a   little taste of what being part of the school is all about and introducing them to the Upper Nidderdale Primary Federation family.

We offer a range of term- time options for those who are looking to take up their 15 and 30 hour entitlement. Full days run from 8.40am to 3.15pm. We also offer half days either in the morning or afternoon.

The best way to find out more about our nursery is to pay us a visit. Just contact the school office on 01423 711407 to make an appointment.
