About our Nursery 

Our organic nursery has a cherished status in the village of Haxby and surrounding York villages. Our two beautiful buildings were beautifully refurbished in 2019, and we now care for 60 children each day. At Little Green Rascals Haxby we’ve created an environment that mimics ‘bringing the outside in’, embracing nature and embedding it into our everyday learning. We have a little secret garden away from the noise of all the rooms the children enjoy mini garden sessions. This is where we grow, tomatoes, cucumbers, strawberries and peas. Set in the heart of Haxby, on the outskirts of York, we’re just a short walk away from the main high street.

As a valued member of our team, you’ll:

• Create a warm, fun, and nurturing environment where children feel safe and thrive.
• Plan and deliver engaging, play-based activities aligned with the EYFS framework.
• Build meaningful relationships with children, families, and colleagues.
• Monitor and celebrate children’s development milestones, keeping records to share with parents.
• Support the day-to-day running of the nursery, maintaining high standards of hygiene, safety, and care.
• Be a team player, offering guidance to apprentices and volunteers while learning from others
