LEARNING THROUGH PLAY

For over 50 years, Little Crickets Pre-School has been a trusted choice for award-winning early years care and education in Harrogate.

 

We believe childhood should be an adventure. Every week, your child will explore nature in our fabulous forest school sessions, discovering the world through play and hands-on learning. Beyond the classroom, we offer enriching activities including languages and drama to spark curiosity and confidence.

 

Learning extends beyond our gates too. Throughout the year, we venture out to local treasures like Harlow Carr Gardens, Mercer Gallery and Ripley Castle, turning every outing into an educational experience.

 

At Little Crickets, we're not just caring for children – we're nurturing the next generation of curious, confident learners.

CATERING

WE OFFER HOMECOOKED MEALS

At Little Crickets Pre-school, we provide freshly prepared, home-cooked meals made with wholesome ingredients to support your child's growth and development. Our menus are thoughtfully planned to offer balanced, nutritious options, and we're happy to accommodate dietary requirements and allergies. Alternatively, families are welcome to send their child with a pre-packed lunch from home. Mealtimes are relaxed, social occasions where children develop healthy eating habits and independence.

OUR ROOMS

At Little Crickets Pre-School, we provide carefully designed learning environments that cater to each stage of your child's early development. Our two dedicated rooms offer age-appropriate activities and support that nurture curiosity, independence, and a lifelong love of learning.

 

Whether your child is discovering the world through imaginative play or preparing for their exciting transition to school, our experienced team creates warm, engaging spaces where every child can thrive at their own pace.
