Our Son has been at LGR Minster yard for 9 months now and he absolutely loves it. He's recently moved up rooms and the staff throughout have been so caring and helpful, and clearly think hard about the children's learning as they progress through different stages. He's recently moved has made lovely friends and with his limited words he still manages to reel off all the names of the staff who look after him on his journey home!

It's wonderful to know he's made friends and enjoys his time with our team. We truly appreciate your support and look forward to continuing to be part of his learning journey.
We have had such a positive experience throughout our whole journey with care from Wiggly Worms right through to our of school club now he is in reception. The staff have always been so attentive and caring a real extension of our family. Its always nerve wracking leaving your baby but I always feel confident he is happy and being well cared for. Cannot recommend Little Green Rascals highly enough.

My son and daughter are at Minster Yard for 4 days a week, they absolutely love it! My daughter experiences forest school twice a week and loves exploring the amazing space. The staff take such good care of her there. My son is in the older baby room and loves been able to go outside in all weathers!
The staff are super caring, nurturing and know both my children well! They are friendly professional and make leaving both my children with them easy! I don't worry at all about them! They have thrived at Minster Yard and I couldn't be happier with the love and care they receive.

I can't recommend this nursery enough, since my child started at this nursery they've thrived in so many ways and it's all down to the nursery and the care that the staff give to each child.

Both our children have always been so happy at LGR Poppleton. The staff are wonderful and make every day fun, not to mention the delicious meals they eat there! Their approach to encouraged learning in a playful way has had a huge impact on our children's knowledge. The social and communication skills they have learnt will stay with them for life. The preschool room is a great transition for school and I would recommend this nursery to any prospective parent.

My 3 children have been part of LGR for the last 7 years and they have learnt so much from coming here. My 18 month old is now in Little Ladybirds and I couldn't be happier with the care and love they show her. It was the same in another room, the care and love they all show her is everything I could ask for. She adores all the staff and children and the experience they give her is incredible, even if she is a monkey at getting to sleep! Thank you LGR.

Great close-knit caring nursery. Friendly staff who form good relationships with the children. They take time to get to know each child as an individual. Our child has really grown in confidence and thrived at the nursery. There is a lovely balance of indoor and outdoor play and walks out for the children.
We're really grateful to all at LGR for the care they have shown our family and all the support for our two children who have attended the nursery.

We couldn't be happier with our experience at Little Green Rascals - Minster Yard in the centre of York. Our daughter Poppy has spent the past four years here, and it has truly been a wonderful journey for her and for us as a family.
Every single nursery nurse has shown such care, dedication, and genuine warmth. It's impossible to name them all, but each one has played a part in creating a safe, nurturing, and joyful environment where children can really thrive.
A special mention has to go to Suzie, the manager, who is simply invaluable. Her support for the staff, parents, and every child is clear in everything she does. She sets such a positive tone, and it shines through the whole nursery.
Thanks to the team, Poppy is now moving on with real confidence, curiosity, and a love of learning that will stay with her for years to come. We're incredibly grateful for everything they've done and would wholeheartedly recommend this nursery to any parent.

We relocated to York and didn't have much time to find a nursery thankfully Green Rascals were able to accommodate and I am so pleased there was a space my daughter has loved going and I love all of the external providers they get in to keep them busy football classes, activity sessions, science classes and French just to name a few. Staff are so friendly and lovely with my daughter I can't thank them enough!

Our experience at LGR Poppleton has been excellent. The staff are amazing and they put so much care and attention into our child's learning + development. Our little boy loves going to nursery and it is clear how well he is cared for and looked after while he is there. His individual needs have been identified by the staff (e.g fussy eating) and they ensure these needs are met. We couldn't be happier with how are child's cared for at LGR Poppleton. Thank you!

Our son started nursery at 5 months old and we were initially very nervous about sending him. The LCR team (dancing dragonflies) were absolutely brilliant and went above and beyond to make the transition smooth. Our son loves his nursery days and always has a big smile when he sees the team. They keep us updated on his day with pictures and messages and support his learning well.

Thank you very much for sharing your experience with us, Kirsty. We completely understand how nerve-wracking it can feel sending your young son to nursery, so it's wonderful to hear that the team were able to make that transition smooth and reassuring for you.
Great nursery - my little one has been there since he was 10 months and has been looked after brilliantly.
Friendly staff who are genuinely interested and caring. It's reassuring to know that the food on offer is great quality and has lots of variety. Thanks LGR!! Foret school + music lessons = amazing.

We were initially nervous about sending our baby to start nursery in the Dancing Dragonflies room but the team at Little Green Rascals have been excellent and went above and beyond to help him settle in well. Our son looks forward to his nursery days and always has a big smile when he sees his key worker.

We're so pleased your son has settled so well and looks forward to his nursery days. It's wonderful to read how reassured you feel and that he has built such a lovely bond with his key carer.
We have had our son at Minster Yard since he was 12 months and he (and us) have had the best experience with Minster Yard. We are so happy to see how he flourishes and love the staff, who truly go above and beyond to meet each individual child's needs. The facilities are great, too, toys are in excellent condition and activities meaningful and of educational value while absolute fun for the little ones (highlights include Baby Band which our son loves). The food is excellent, nutritious and varied- and lovingly prepared by a fantastic and super friendly kitchen team on site! We moved to York for work and without any family connections in town, and we can not stress enough how Minster Yard really was so important to help us all settle here. Our son is now moving up to Cheeky Hens and we are so happy to see that he has already made some lovely friends. A big thank you to the fantastic team and management of Minster Yard- we cannot recommend you highly enough!

LGR is a really kind, safe and happy environment. We always feel comfortable dropping our daughters off, and the staff are so loving and caring. It is clear they take a lot of care in the children's development. We wouldn't consider anywhere else.
