Welcome to our nursery

​

Set in the beautiful Yorkshire Wolds landscape in Sancton, we offer an early years experience filled with magic of childhood at its heart.

 

Our nursery creates meaningful memories while nurturing confident, kind, and curious children.

 

We provide childcare for children aged 6 months to 5 years,

51 weeks a year.

 

The Old School House Nursery opened in August 2000 in the village school in Sancton after owner Sally returned to East Riding of Yorkshire from London. We were the first private day nursery in the Market Weighton area, earning three consecutive Outstanding ratings from Ofsted.

 

As a family-run business, we respond personally to childcare needs of local families. With 54 places for private bookings and 3 fully funded free places, we take pride in serving each family.

 

Small settings can create a beautiful community that brings joy every day.​

​

We never wanted anything more than one unique setting and there is something truly beautiful in building a small and perfectly formed nursery community that wakes you up in the morning and puts a smile on your face.

 

Small can be perfect, and  it can be beautiful........
