Day Nurseries Owned by Little Raccoons Day Nursery Ltd

This is a fantastic nursery. Would highly recommend.The staff are exceptional. They frequently provide a wide range of high-quality activities to engage the children. These activities support the children physical, emotional development and wellbeing. These nursery is managed exceptionally well. Our daughter is very happy at the nursery.

Our daughter has been going to Little Racoons Apsley for around 7 months now and has developed in so many ways as a result of the hard work of the team. She is kept busy with all the activities the team arrange every day both inside and out (weather permitting). It's always a pleasure picking her up at the end of the day and seeing a big smile on her face and listening to the non stop babling giving us a good indication of the stimulation and fun she has had during the day. At home time the staff always take the time to give parents an update on what has happened during the day which is very much appreciated. The team also make great use of the app to post regular updates on the children's days and photos of their activities which my wife and I always look forward to.

We feel incredibly lucky that our children are part of such a warm, supportive, and inspiring setting. A heartfelt thank you to all of the teachers for your dedication, creativity, and kindness-you make this nursery a truly special place.

Our daughter has been attending the nursery for the past few months, and it has been by far the best nursery we have used. The staff are very friendly and caring and our daughter loves them all. She genuinely looks forward to her nursery days and has made lots of friends already. The facilities are great, there is a big garden with a slide and lots of activities. Security is robust and any issues are reported to us quickly. We are very happy with Little Racoons and would heartily recommend them.

All of the team show genuine care and affection for the children We couldn't be happier with the nursery. A special mention to Lakmali, Anita, and Lee - but truly, the entire team is amazing!

The nursery offers an absolutely amazing service my son is very well taken care of and he is very happy everytime I drop him off. I get regular pictures and I can see how much he progressed since he moved from a different nursery. He's always clean and changed and I can see they take good care as even the illnesses have dropped since he joined Little Raccoons.

Our son is part of the Little Raccoons Day Nursery (family) since he was 9 months old baby, he is 3 years now! and is still going to the same nursery and will continue until he is eligible ;-) It is basically a second home for him. I have the most comfort in leaving my son there. The staffs in there are the best, they love the kids especially the baby room staff, my son is in pre-school now but still, baby room staff are my favourites and my son's favourite too, they are very warm, approachable and trusting. I love the way the nursery has grown throughout these years, the way kids learn through fun activities and the kind of effort the staff put in getting the set up of the turf trays, the activities that they plan, it is tremendous effort. The way the manager has upgraded the quality of the learning through play is commendable. She has made sure the kids have their best time and so do the parents, a lot of events take place where parents can take part. Absolutely loving their work

We've been extremely happy with the care our son receives at this nursery. The team provides a warm, nurturing, and engaging environment where children feel safe, supported, and encouraged to learn. It's clear every day how much effort goes into the activities and attention given to each child.

The staff are friendly, approachable, and keep us well informed, which gives us great peace of mind. Our son genuinely enjoys attending, and it shows in his confidence and development.

We were especially grateful for how calmly and professionally the team handled a recent febrile seizure. They acted quickly, followed the right procedures, and kept us informed, which was incredibly reassuring during a difficult moment.

We highly recommend this nursery to other families.

An amazing nursery! I would recommend to anyone in the area. My son started this nursery at 8 months which was really hard for me but I cannot thank them enough for how easy Anita and Lee made it they comforted me as much as my son in the early months so thank you! We now have 2 sons at the nursery so have the pleasure of key workers in multiple rooms, our oldest in preschool is looked after by Mahesha & Dilani who keep us throughly updated on the nursery app throughout the day and on pick up which is greatly appreciated. Our youngest at the Nursery is in the Toddler room Amal, Catherine and Christy have been amazing with helping him transition into the toddler room from babies he is full of confidence and progressing so well with losing the dummy and toilet training which they have really helped with. I am impressed with the variety of fruits and vegetables provided. A special thank you to Lakmali running the nursery and providing the best events for us parents to attend! Thank you

Our child has attended LR Apsley for a year now and we absolutely love it. The staff all seem to genuinely care about the child, and they put in so much effort to put on extra activities and events for parents to visit. Our child is always excited to go, has so much fun and is very content and happy.

We love little raccoons Apsley, they are always doing new activities and we really feel like they care for the children there which makes it so much easier to drop them off in the morning. They do lots of activities that parents are encouraged to join in with (like fathers and Mother's Day and book day) which is lovely. The staff are all great, Lee looks after our little girl and we think she's amazing as our little girl loves her so much she lights up when she sees her. Couldn't recommend highly enough if you are on the fence about choosing to send your children here.

We are incredibly grateful for everything this nursery has done for our daughter and would highly recommend it to any parent.

DO NOT RECOMMEND! Unfortunately, my son suffered 2 injuries (one of which was quite serious) during his first week and when I asked to see the CCTV footage of the accidents I was told there's no CCTV in use although it was obvious they had a CCTV system installed and one of the managers actually confirmed it. When questioning the discrepancies, the Area Manager said it's for live footage only but couldn't justify why it's not recording or it's purpose. They changed the incidents reports several times and would always take a few days to a week to reply, agreeing to meet only after 3 weeks had passed. Also, rarely respected the food menu, that they shared only after insisting several times. Everything inside is quite dated and dirty but I comprised because it was really close. Deeply regret it now!

Our son has attended LR nursery since about 10 months old. He is now 2.5 and he continues to be so happy there. He runs in each day, has formed amazing relationships with the extremely caring and nurturing staff including some who aren't directly in his room. The activities posted daily are amazing and really engage the children in a developmentally appropriate way. We have been so impressed with our son's learning and what he comes home to tell and show us. We are so grateful for little raccoons and the staff for creating a safe, fun and exciting space for our child to learn and grow. We have a second child who was signed up well before they were born and who wouldn't want to send anywhere else!

Thanks to Gillian, Hillal and the team.

Such a great nursery with staff who really love and take care of my son. I get daily updates, a debrief at the end of the day and reports showing healthy development and milestones. They do varied activities, from circle time, a dance and music session, role play, garden time and free time. I really couldn't be happier.

Would highly recommend this nursery.

Our son has been at Little Racoons for the last year and we are very happy with the level of support and care he gets. His development has come on very well since he's been there and his vocabulary has grown and grown. He feels very happy there and always runs off to breakfast without crying. The staff are all very supportive and give us lots of updates throughout the day. They are also very accommodating if we need extra days ad hoc.

My son has been at Little Raccons Finchley since he was 8 months old (he is almost 2 years old now). He bonded with the staff and other children really well. The staff are really kind, warm and caring. The activities on offer are varied, pedagogical and inclusive. My son is really happy there and has been from Day 1. I also like that they go outdoors daily and play in the garden.

Our son goes to the nursery and our daughter is joining soon too. We are very happy there - the staff are lovely and warm, they do innovative and engaging activities for the kids and update the parents with pictures regularly! They were also very supportive during our son's potty training.
