Day Nurseries Owned by Little Rascals Day Nurseries

smoothly thanks to the caring and supportive staff. They helped both of us settle in gently, and now my son absolutely loves going. He's built strong bonds with the team and other children, and it's clear he feels safe and happy there.
The spaces are clean, well maintained, and filled with engaging toys and activities. After visiting several nurseries, what stood out about Little Rascals was the family feel and their child-led ethos. I loved that learning is encouraged through enquiry and exploration-not screens or rigid routines.
The new rooms are beautiful, and I feel so reassured every time I drop him off, knowing he's in a nurturing, stimulating environment.

little boy settled in so well, and it's clear he feels comfortable and happy there - something that means the world to us. The team creates a warm, nurturing environment that truly feels like a home away from home. Every day he comes home with a smile, and we can see how much he's learning and growing.

The communication with parents is excellent too - we always know what he's been up to and how his day has gone. Knowing he is in such good hands gives us so much peace of mind.

We're so grateful to have found such a special place for him. It's been such a positive experience, and we would wholeheartedly recommend to any parent.

and none of them had the home from home feeling like Little Rascals had. I couldn’t recommend enough.

were really thorough in finding out all about it and how best to support him. Handovers are brilliant at the end of each day and we are regularly kept up to date through the app about what he’s been up to. Activities are really well planned out and are catered to specific children’s interests and development stages. Staff are fantastic at giving advice on things like weaning, napping, etc. They’ve even passed on recipes for meals that our very fussy son has particularly enjoyed. He is always happy at pick-up and seems to come home every day having learned something new. We’re so pleased that we chose Little Rascals and can’t thank the staff enough for all that they do for him.

the area that I am most pleased with is that she is happy. Since moving to Welby Lane, we have not had any instances of separation anxiety or crying at collection or drop-off. She toddles straight in and has fun from start to finish. The staff have built up an amazing relationship with my daughter (all staff know who she is too - not just the ladies in her room). Each day, I am given a thorough handover and they notice even the smallest of details.
I drop her off in the morning and know she is receiving the best care. I cannot thank them enough.

them develop their brains and confidence so much and the children just think they're playing! They're so creative with how they get the children to learn and eventually get them ready for school. We were with them through Covid and they worked so hard to keep everyone safe, it was a really tough time for us all but we felt so supported with the staff there.
They allowed my daughter to be herself and helped shape her into the (pretty amazing!) girl she is today. She loves outdoor play and the facilities they have there allow her to explore the world safely.
We love this nursery so much that our baby is due to start with them next month!

at the moment absolutely loves going. The staff have taken the time to build a beautiful caring rapport with her. I thoroughly recommend Little Rascals to anyone.

above and beyond to help him with his needs such as learning Makaton and reading all the information we have sent about his heart defect.
Not only are we happy but our little boy is happy and he talks fondly of all the staff he comes into contact with. They really care about him and it shows as he is always super smiley at drop-off and pick-up.
Communication with the manager is fantastic too and she also does everything she can to ensure all of our child's SEN needs are met.

a positive culture that persists despite occasional staff changes. The children are stimulated and learn using a variety of activities, and in his room they can play inside and out as they wish. My son has also been on a number of trips over the two years. Communication with parents is very good via the app, with the right balance of keep us up-to-date without detracting from staff spending time with the children. I'd highly recommend the nursery to anyone.

home-from-home setting definitely removed the anxiety as a parent. My daughter has had some additional medical needs for a temporary period which all staff went above and beyond to accommodate and make her still feel included which I can't thank them enough for their efforts in making that tricky period as easy as possible. My daughter has flourished in so many ways at Little Rascals, with the support of all the enthusiastic and caring staff and the interesting activities they create to get the children engaged and learning. The additional activities such as trips out and sing and sign classes are a bonus! I made the best decision choosing Little Rascals and my little girl absolutely loves it!

boy born into a pandemic world having spent the majority of his first year in lockdowns/a rather small bubble of people and experiences...we were also nervous. But they have ensured great communication - be it emails, the report app (which is also heart warming to read and see photos/videos of our little boy while with them) or the daily handover! They have been patient and reassuring with us and importantly our little boy! The food and the daily set ups for play/activities are great and always different! My little boy lights up and smiles when we walk up to the door, and he goes into the room/to the staff with open arms - that is the best indicator and review for is, he loves it there!

and had her most serious fit to date while on sight. The team followed the care plan perfectly, administered the rescue meds, and called for an ambulance as well as ringing us and staying with her and giving the very best care. Their actions saved her that day and we will be eternally grateful.

of things for the babies to explore, as well as some great activities that the staff put on. They have some good meals and the handovers that we have received have been very informative. Sending our little one here is one of the best decisions that we have made so far as parents.

clear safety procedures. The staff have been great, they will listen to the child's interests, diet and naps, putting each child at the centre of their experience, rather than fitting the child into a rigid routine. They have even supported us using reusable nappies. There is good communication between parents and staff and all the messages that are given to management get through to the right people too. The environment is lovely and my son really seems to enjoy his time there. I feel like I am listened to as a mum and the usual family experience that the child would have at home is really valued. Thank you!
