We would like to welcome you to Penny Pot Nursery Harogate.  Our aim is to provide the perfect solution to any parent looking for childcare by understanding both the child's and parent’s needs. So whether you are looking to return to work, moving into the area or you just want your child to socialise, learn and develop, then come to Penny Pot Nursery.

Located in close proximity to The Army Foundation College, Harrogate, the nursery welcomes BOTH military and non-military families.

Here at Penny Pot we are committed to giving your children the best possible start and this is achieved by working in close partnership with our children’s parents, extended families and our local community, we will provide a warm, welcoming  environment in which the children will Learn, Laugh and be Loved. Children, parents and staff will value, respect and care for each other in a relaxed and happy atmosphere.

We have experienced, highly qualified and friendly staff who aim to make your child’s time at nursery as fun as possible while they learn and develop their skills in a safe environment. 

Our nursery has had a complete transformation thanks to a substantial grant received through the Early Learning and Childcare Support Fund. It has allowed us to carry out a refurbishment of the facilities both indoors, including resources, furniture and an indoor gym. The benefits to the children have been amazing as it has provided them with greater learning opportunities but most of all added fun.

In October 2025 we were awarded a further grant by The Armed Foreces Covenant Fund Trust to develop our outdoor provison, providing an outdoor classroom environment to support the children's emotional well-being, reslience and the love for the outdoors. The project includes an allotment, large mud kitchen, trim trail for physical development, quiet spaces, large musical instruments and much more.
