Our dream is to develop a generation of independent thinkers, big dreamers, and lifelong learners. Where children are enthusiastic to be offered highly nutritious food and contribute to its growth and preparation. Lara Nursery not only offers the highest standards of childcare but is a place where children have freedom in nature to grow and develop in their own way, at their own pace.

Lara Nursery Thirsk
Our brand-new nursery in North Yorkshire is a purpose-built setting in the beautiful market town of Thirsk. Catering for ages 0-5 we are open Monday to Friday 8 am to 6 pm, with wrap-around care from 7.30 am to 6.30 pm. We have a large secure garden with lots to explore and discover.
Our nursery menus are created by our talented chefs, prepared in house daily, using locally produced fresh ingredients and taste tested by our children.
Nursery menus that excite children and delight parents
Nutritionally balanced meals
Packed full of flavour from around the world.
Nourishment through food
Whether it’s a new recipe, festive food event or Vegetarian Day, we’re on a mission to celebrate food and build children’s confidence when it comes to mealtimes.
Activities
Allowing children the chance to experiment and explore food from the very start. From sowing the seed in our vegetable patch, to picking then preparing, and finally rewarded by devouring it with friends.
Dietary Needs
We know children can be fussy eaters or have food intolerances and allergies. Our chefs are well-trained to ensure meals are tailored to each child's needs, keeping them safe.
Recipe
Parents are forever blown away with how well their children eat at our nursery. We want to help this transfer to every mealtime so let us help you by providing recipes for a few of our favourites.
