Brochure

Joseph's Nursery

We are situated in a converted cricket pavilion, hidden away from the hustle and bustle which service the Clifton and Rawcliffe area of York.

We are an Ofsted regulated Nursery offering high quality childcare. We are a registered charity with several assisted places available.

The nursery is situated over the ground floor and first floor, offering care for children aged 0-5 years. Our Baby room staff welcome babies from the age of 6 weeks to 2 years whilst the Toddler Room welcomes children from the age of two to three. Our Pre-school Room is open for children age three to five.

The baby room has space for a maximum of 15 children, the toddler room 17 children and the pre-school room 30 children.

Our Nursery looks onto an old cricket field which the children love to explore. We also have a forest school situated on the grounds where the children make regular visits.

Our Ofsted rating is Good!

We are delighted with the report. If you would like to read the report please click Here

"Overall, staff make good use of the exceptional outdoor environments that surround the nursery. Older children develop good physical skills and an understanding of the world around them. They show curiosity as they explore the forest and enjoy running through the meadow".

Food and Nutrition

At York Childcare we take great pride in offering children home cooked food prepared onsite each day following the early years guidelines for healthy, nutritional diets. We cater for all allergies, intolerance's and cultural/religious preferences using a colour coded system that all staff follow. Eating round a table with other children is a fantastic way for your child to develop their culinary skills alongside providing positive encouragement for eating with each other. We have a 4 week rolling menu which is assessed on a regular basis alongside themed dinners for events. Our Christmas Dinner is a favourite with children and staff!

Nursery Cook

All our nutritious home cooked meals are prepared on site by our cook Sam. Sam trained as a Level 3 practitioner and has vast experience in childcare.

Dietary Requirements

Sam's delicious home cooked meals are prepared using fresh fruit and vegetables. We offer alternatives for children with diagnosed allergies, intolerances, children who are vegetarian, and for children who can only eat certain foods due to cultural/religious requirements.
