Day Nurseries Owned by Little Raccoons Day Nursery Ltd in Hertfordshire

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 been attending Little Raccoons Day Nursery (Apsley) for a year and a half, starting from when he was just 18 months old. Now nearly three, he has grown so much in confidence, skills, and independence. He has made many friends and genuinely looks forward to going every day. The nursery provides a wide variety of engaging activities, with new monthly themes that spark curiosity and creativity. We feel extremely grateful for the dedicated care and patience from the toddler room team. Choosing this nursery has been one of the best decisions we've made for his early years.

A big shoutout to three staff members in particular, you are truly guardian angels for our little one!

Both my kids went to LR Apsley from the age of 1 until primary and had a fabulous time! The staff are fantastic, it's like a home from home and it's great to have such a lovely outdoor space to play. The manager is very focused on developing their early reading, writing and maths skills in pre school to prepare them for primary and provided loads of fun, educational activities to achieve this. The kids formed close bonds with the staff and felt very safe and happy to go in every day. Thank you LR Apsley team for a wonderful preschool experience!

Our younger daughter is due to start here shortly and we are excited to be part of the little raccoons family again.

We are very happy and satisfied that she goes to this nursery as we know she is in good hands.

He's was a very nervous child but they helped build his confidence. They are great at communicating throughout the day with updates on food and activities and prepare the preschoolers so well for school. My son really blossomed thanks to the team here, and started school a happy confident boy.

Well done Little Raccons Staff!
