OUR STORY
As a long standing Harrogate Pre-School, Little Crickets forms part of many families within the local community.
CELEBRATING 50 YEARS
Established in 1974 as Harlow Hilltop Pre-School, Little Crickets has a long standing history of providing first class early years education and is one of the most highly sought after pre-schools in the Harrogate District.
We are a non-profit registered charity managed by a voluntary Management Board of Parents/Carers. Little Crickets is privileged to have an incredible team, some of whom have been with the Pre-School for decades!
Regularly inspected by Ofsted, Little Crickets ensures the quality of care and education we provide meets the highest possible standards. We are also registered as a provider of childcare on the Early Years Register and the Childcare Register to provide care for 18 month to 4 year olds.
Little Crickets is incredibly lucky to not only have the tremendous support of its existing families but also that of its committee and the wider Harrogate community. Together we aim to provide the very best in early years education.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
A home away from home and a safe space where children can thrive.
Little Crickets puts the wellbeing of its children first, creating a warm and loving environment which supports the diverse needs of children.

We work closely with all our families, to ensure our children receive the very best care and education. Little Crickets is experienced with third party agencies and has strong community ties.
