KC Bespoke | York nursery & early years accommodation

York modular nursery building with 208.37m² of gross floor area

The York modular nursery building provides a 22.05m × 9.45m rectangular footprint for a nursery or preschool setting. The KC Bespoke construction package supports a layout developed around activity rooms, quiet or rest provision, sanitary facilities, storage and staff needs.

The York modular nursery building has a 208.37m² gross external footprint. Its rectangular plan provides a different site-planning option from the L-shaped nursery, while using the same supplied material and fit-out specification. The final plan identifies usable activity space separately from circulation and support rooms.

Nursery building design starts with the age groups, proposed places and daily routines. Room positions, supervised routes, controlled arrival, handwashing, changing, storage and outdoor access are coordinated before manufacture. The external image does not establish the room count or operating capacity.

The fitted specification includes an insulated steel frame, Kingspan panel systems, 100mm internal partition panels, a 160mm insulated roof assembly, triple-glazed laminated windows, SPC flooring, scheduled sanitary finishes and air-to-air heat-pump heating and cooling. It is not a shell-and-core offer.

For operators comparing modular nursery buildings for sale, the stated £370,900 + VAT price includes delivery and on-site modular assembly within mainland UK. Groundworks, final mains connections, external play works and equipment outside the agreed fit-out are separate.

The visualisation illustrates York with brick-effect wall finishes, dark architectural columns and tall glazing. Under the retained nursery specification, standard steel cladding colours are included and brick-slip, wood-effect or decorative-stone finishes remain separately quoted upgrades. Final façade treatment and coverage are recorded on approved elevations.

Applications and layout options

Independent childcare providers

Modular Nursery Building for Day Care

Plan activity, rest and support spaces within the York footprint for the intended age groups. The measured room schedule, not the external area alone, establishes usable childcare space.

Schools and academy trusts

School-Based Early Years Buildings

Provide dedicated early years accommodation alongside an existing school, with arrival, safeguarding, outdoor access and service connections coordinated with the wider site. Physical links to existing buildings are separately designed.

Preschool operators

Prefabricated Nursery Buildings for Preschool Use

Develop learning and play rooms with storage, hygiene facilities and quieter areas around the preschool brief. Furniture, learning resources and specialist equipment follow a separate agreed inventory.

Nursery expansion

A Larger Modular Nursery Building

Use the 208.37m² rectangular model where the site supports additional nursery accommodation. Structure, occupancy, services and any future expansion or relocation need a project-specific design.

Frequently asked questions

What is the York modular nursery building?

York is a KC Bespoke steel-frame nursery model measuring 22.05m × 9.45m externally, with approximately 208.37m² of gross external floor area. It uses the same supplied material and fit-out specification as the V-Design and L-shaped nurseries, within a rectangular footprint.

How much does the York nursery building cost?

The stated price is £370,900 excluding VAT, or £445,080 including the configured 20% VAT. Mainland UK delivery and on-site modular assembly are included. Groundworks, final mains connections, external works and equipment outside the agreed fit-out are separate.

Is York the model name or the delivery location?

York is the model name. The stated delivery and assembly inclusion applies within mainland UK, not only to sites in York.

How large is the York modular nursery building?

The external dimensions are 22.05m × 9.45m. Multiplying these gives 208.3725m², displayed as approximately 208.37m² of gross external floor area. Usable internal and qualifying activity-room areas are established on the approved floor plan.

Does the York use the same specification as the other KC Bespoke nurseries?

Yes. The material and fit-out specification matches the earlier KC Bespoke nursery package, including the V-Design nursery: a 160mm roof assembly, 100mm partition panels, triple-glazed laminated windows, SPC flooring, scheduled sanitary finishes and heat pump. York's structure, openings, equipment capacity and room arrangement are designed for its own footprint.

What nursery rooms can be arranged within the building?

The plan can be developed around activity rooms, quieter or rest spaces, child and adult sanitary accommodation, changing, storage, reception and staff needs. The design does not assume every possible room fits or prescribe a room count without the approved measured layout.

How many children can the nursery accommodate?

No fixed child capacity is assigned. Use qualifying activity-room areas rather than the 208.37m² external footprint. England's EYFS references 3.5m² per child under two, 2.5m² for two-year-olds and 2.3m² for ages three to five; staffing and provider requirements also apply. Check the applicable EYFS framework.

Can outdoor play space be added to the indoor capacity calculation?

Not under the cited England EYFS space rules applying where indoor activity is the main or an integral part of provision. Exclusively outdoor provision is treated separately. Do not combine playground area with the building footprint to claim additional indoor capacity.

Is this a fitted nursery specification or shell and core?

This is the fitted KC Bespoke building specification, not a shell-and-core pavilion. It includes internal partition panels, SPC flooring, scheduled doors and glazing, sanitary-area fittings and finishes, and heat-pump heating and cooling. The detailed electrical, lighting, ventilation, hot-water and alarm schedules must still be agreed.

Are the windows triple glazed with laminated safety glass?

Yes. The retained specification calls for multi-chamber UPVC windows with triple glazing and laminated safety glass, with a specified window U-value of 0.9 W/m²K. Final dimensions, quantities, restrictors, manifestation and safety details follow the approved opening schedule.

What heating and cooling does the modular nursery building include?

Air-to-air heat-pump heating and cooling is included, with specified SCOP 4.5. Capacity, unit positions and zoning are selected for York. Fresh-air ventilation, wet-area extraction, glare control and room acoustics require separate design checks.

Is the brick-effect exterior shown in the image included?

Not automatically. The retained nursery specification includes hidden-fix steel cladding in the listed standard finishes. Brick slips, wood effects and decorative stone remain separately quoted upgrades. Any brick-effect finish and its coverage must be expressly listed in the signed York order.

Are delivery and assembly included?

Yes. Mainland UK delivery and on-site modular assembly are included in the £370,900 + VAT price. Agree vehicle access, the lifting plan and prepared foundations before delivery. Unspecified external works and final mains connections are not included.

Are these modular nursery buildings for sale or hire?

This listing offers the stated York building for purchase. No rental price, hire term or financing arrangement is established by this configuration.

Do nursery buildings need planning and Building Regulations approval?

Check both approval routes for the proposed site and use before ordering. Off-site manufacture does not itself establish an exemption. See government Building Regulations approval guidance and obtain advice for the relevant jurisdiction.

Does purchasing York mean the nursery is Ofsted approved or A-rated?

No. Purchasing the building does not grant childcare registration or an inspection outcome. An optional A energy rating requires assessment of the final design, and the applicable Part L requirements and any EPC are project-specific.

Do the panel fire ratings certify the whole nursery?

No. B-s2,d0, EW 45 and EI 30 are the supplied panel performance references, subject to the matching system and test conditions. The complete nursery fire strategy must address structure, doors, escape, alarms, junctions and penetrations. No whole-building REI60 rating is claimed.

How long does manufacture and installation take?

The programme is confirmed after the layout, approvals, material selections and site review. A manufacturing or installation lead time has not been supplied for this York configuration.

Can delivery take place alongside an operating nursery?

Installation next to an occupied nursery requires agreed works segregation, safe vehicle access, timing and coordination with the provider. Factory manufacture does not remove the need for a site-specific construction and safeguarding plan.

Does the image show a completed York nursery project?

The image is used as a design visualisation, not as a verified completed-project record. The illustrated nursery name or sign is not a client reference. Furniture, toys, external play equipment, planting, fencing, paths and other pictured items are included only if itemised in the order.

Where can I compare nursery models or download the catalogue?

Browse nursery and early years buildings, compare the V-Design model, or download the KC Bespoke Collection catalogue (PDF). The York-specific drawings and order schedule define this modular nursery building.
