With full hearts, we welcome this final day at Blue Sky York Clifton Moor, and we want to say a very special thank you to all of our Blue Sky families. 🌈✨

Thank you for trusting us with your little ones, for welcoming us into your family stories, and for allowing us to share in their first friendships, first paintings, first muddy puddles, and all the magical moments in between. You have supported us with kindness, encouragement, and smiles at the door every morning, and we will never forget that.

To all of our amazing children moving on to new nurseries and new adventures; we are so proud of you! ⭐

You’ve laughed, learned, explored, created, and filled our rooms with more joy than words can ever express. From bug hunts to messy play, superhero capes to story times, you’ve made every single day unforgettable.

Although our time at York Clifton Moor has come to an end, your little smiles and big personalities will forever be part of the Blue Sky story. Thank you for being our magic. ✨

With love, pride, and endless well wishes for your exciting journeys ahead

The Imps and Elves enjoyed getting messy today by painting the floor! They had fun exploring mixing different colours and seeing what they created. This helps with their expressive art and design. We also painted our hands and feet which aids our physical development and personal social and emotional development.

This morning the older children enjoyed making morning snack for everyone. We learnt about how to do this safely, which types of food are our favourites and we also practiced taking turns. Once we had finished making snack we enjoyed eating it and sharing it with our friends!🍐🍎🍽️

The Imps and the Elves have enjoyed practicing their mathematics skills by completing some simple jigsaws. They all worked together to complete the jigsaws and we gave each child in each jigsaw a name. This develops their mathematics and teamwork. 🧩🧩🧩🧩

A Little Bit About Us.

Blue Sky Day Nursery York is the second in a small chain of local family owned and run day nurseries, the first opened in 2005 and has been going from strength to strength ever since. As parents ourselves we understand the difficulties is balancing being a parent with running a home, work and other commitments so we aim to offer childcare that is not only of the highest quality but fits in with what you need! Therefore we try to offer services that will meet you every childcare requirement.

When looking to expand our business the factors most important to us were team, location and facility. We wanted a bright, warm and friendly space filled with love, colour and light, where children and parents can feel at home, comfortable and safe. We believe we have found all of that and more in our York branch where we are offering fantastically flexible care provided by an amazing team of loving, caring, qualified, childcare professionals who like us promise to care for your child as they would their own.

Our outdoor play area is a huge bonus to our setting and we utilise this daily, allowing the children as many hours as possible to enjoy the opportunity for fresh air, exercise and learning in a secure, fun and sometimes messy outside environment.

Our meals are prepared on site fresh each day and aim to cover a wide range of healthy balanced meals. Our menu is based on the β€˜eat well plate’ which is low in salt and sugar but high in fruit, vegetables and lean meats. We never force a child to eat anything but our caring team will encourage children to try and experience new and exciting foods to widen their taste palates which all adds to their learning experience. We happily cater for allergies, food intolerances and religious or special dietary needs.
