Parents to get first look of Little Years Sand Hutton

Little Years Sand Hutton, located on the York Biotech Campus,  just off the A64, opened this month and is welcoming visitors to a Family Fun Day on Saturday (August 1). 

The event promises a welcoming atmosphere, giving families the opportunity to explore the new space and meet the team in a relaxed setting.

On the day, there will be a bouncy castle, an ice cream van, face painting and even baking in the nursery’s child-sized kitchen.

A spokesperson for Little Years Sand Hutton said: “Families are warmly invited to join the Family Fun Day on 1st August to experience the nursery for themselves.”

The purpose-built site includes connected playrooms, a large outdoor garden with direct access to a nearby woodland, a child-sized working kitchen, and a dedicated workspace where parents can settle in while their child starts the day.

The nursery follows a mixed-age approach to learning, reflecting family life at home and helping children develop friendships and a sense of belonging.

Little Years Sand Hutton will offer both term-time and full-year care, with opening hours from 7.30am to 6pm.

The site is part of a growing network of nurseries, with a sixth location set to open in Monks Cross in January 2027.
