About Little Owls 

Little Owls is a warm, friendly and nurturing day nursery group in Hull, caring for babies, toddlers and pre-schoolers. When you choose Little Owls, your child is welcomed into a safe, happy environment where they can explore, learn and grow at their own pace. 
 
We believe every child deserves to feel loved, valued and confident.  
That’s why the care we provide is centred around your child’s unique personality, interests and needs. 
 
Little Owls runs across two locations in Hull — Dove House and Ainthorpe — with each nursery offering bright rooms, exciting outdoor spaces and skilled practitioners who want the very best for your child. 

A Nursery That Makes a Difference 

Little Owls is proudly owned and run by Dove House Hospice, a much-loved local charity that supports families facing life-limiting illness. 
 
This means that every penny of profit from Little Owls goes straight back into Dove House, helping local families during some of their hardest days. 
 
By choosing Little Owls, you aren’t just finding the right nursery for your child — you’re helping your community too.
