Welcome to Nature's Little Learners!
Igniting Curiosity in Young Minds
(7:00 am - 6:00 pm available where required)
At Nature’s Little Learners, our curiosity-inspired nurseries foster personal, social and emotional development in children from birth to 5 years old, through a welcoming, homely environment that puts children first - always.
Everything we do is centred around our amazing children and it is our mission to provide the highest-quality childcare for your little learner. This is a magical time in your child's development and it's our job to provide a place that encourages children to explore the endless possibilities of the world around them!
In our awe-inspiring day nurseries, we help children expand and become confident individuals in a safe and secure environment. Our vision is to create a welcoming and enjoyable environment at Nature's Little Learners,
where every child feels valued and is able to grow, learn and develop through play.
At Nature's Little Learners, we focus on providing a beautiful and homely setting where children can naturally explore and play, whilst feeling emotionally and physically secure. We're dedicated to giving parents peace of mind, knowing their little learners are happy and being looked after within our care.
It has been proven that the fastest rate of learning and development is between birth and the age of five, which is why it’s so important to find a childcare setting that caters to your child's individual needs.
At Nature’s Little Learners, we don’t believe that classroom environments are the best way for children to learn. Our focus is on developing creativity and imagination by learning through play in a language rich, free flow environment that is filled with natural, open-ended resources.

About Our North Yorkshire Locations
Situated in Harrogate, our nurseries are easy to access via major roads and public transport, making it convenient for parents to access during their commute between work and home.
Our Starbeck nursery is situated close to the A59 and is a short walking distance from Starbeck Train Station.
Our Hornbeam Park nursery is situated close to the A61 and is a short walking distance from Hornbeam Park Train Station.
Since our start in 2021, we have worked incredibly hard to create the best possible childcare services in Harrogate. Our team is working continuously to improve our facilities and ensure that we are always following the latest and most up-to-date industry practices.
Our team is here to help your child develop the necessary life skills and self-confidence that will help them enter further education with confidence and ease.
Some of the aspects that make our facilities unique include:
We use all-natural, open-ended resources that promote imagination and creativity - we believe in providing children with the freedom to express and learn through the environment and natural resources.
Did you know children subconsciously absorb information from books? We encourage a love for books by making reading fun and accessible within all areas of our nursery, as well as monthly walks to the library where children can choose their own stories to read.
We don’t base our nurseries on a standard “classroom” setting, as we believe children learn best by engaging their imagination through play.
Our outdoor learning environments allow children to interact with Mother Nature and explore the world around them, whilst they socialise and build relationships with their friends.
