About Our Nursery and Out of School Club

Based in a charming listed former school building opposite Bishopthorpe library, Little Green Rascals Bishopthorpe has a welcoming, home-from-home feel. Our nursery features four rooms with original features, three gardens and an onsite Forest School.

Our Out of School and Holiday Club is attached to our local school, offering children opportunities to enjoy arts and crafts, outdoor adventures and time with friends. We aim to make every session a place where children feel included, can follow their interests and enjoy being themselves.

Across our setting, our kitchen team prepares fresh, organic food onsite each day for children and staff. We also have our nursery dog, Mabel, who attends two days a week and is training to become a therapy dog for children.
