Little Green Rascals Day Nursery Elvington

I can’t thank the staff enough for all they do and the care that they show. My little boy has come on so much since attending here, the staff are all really friendly and I love the outdoor spaces that they have and my little boy loves the forest school.

He loves going to nursery!

My child has just this week started at Elvington and already she has been made to feel like she has been part of the Little Green Rascals family forever!

Dropping off for her second settling in session I worried that we would have some tears and upset, but it was the exact opposite. My child's key person was fabulous and I cannot speak any more highly of how she has helped my child to settle so well. With just a 'bye Daddy' she was off and enjoying her day with everything she loves to play with.

My child's key person was excellent in keeping us up to date, regularly sending observations through her online learning journal, letting us know what she had at mealtimes and some lovely photographs showing how busy and happy she was.

Thank you Little Green Rascals, you're amazing and looking forward to seeing how my little one grows with you!

LGR Elvington have been nothing but incredible since our little boy started with them this year. The staff are friendly, enthusiastic, supportive and very knowledgeable about the age phase that they teach. All of the staff care about all of the children and they are always there to help if they can. The use of the Famly app allows me to see what my little boy has been doing throughout the day and I am able to share what we have been doing at home too. Every day we are greeted with a friendly smile and delicious smells from the kitchen and my little boy is extremely happy to be there.

LGR in Elvington is a fantastic nursery in a quiet rural setting with lovely grounds. The facilities are great and the indoor and outdoor environment is particularly stimulating and offers lots of adventure and exploration for the children to explore. It is apparent that lots of very hard work has gone into the nursery by the brilliant, caring, kind and very helpful staff team, and their outstanding manager. I would very highly recommend this nursery if you are keen for your child to flourish and to have a great start to their young lives.

Keyworker system is very good.

Little Green Rascals is a fantastic nursery. The staff are very open and the communication channels are frequent, relevant and prompt so we always know what’s going on in general and with your little one. The facilities are great. My son doesn’t want to leave always and I know he loves it because he can’t wait to go when he sees his LGR green bag come out on a morning.

LGR is simply outstanding. This does relate to the last few months, I have been with them for over three years and I simply cannot fault anything they have done. They handle absolutely everything with professionalism, tact and empathy, be that child or parent related. Children in their care thrive under a variety of stimulating and fun activities and come home full of stories of what the and their friends have been doing. They engender an ethos of kindness, generosity and doing the right thing and ensure each child has the individual care, attention and developmental program that they need. Their management is efficient, understanding and effective and the good excellent; wholesome and delicious. Their approach to the care of the children throughout the COVID pandemic was second to none. I felt my son, their staff and the parental circle were cared for, kept safe and allowed to function with support and empathy throughout lockdown and beyond. Simply outstanding. Thank you LGR.

I was very anxious leaving my son at nursery at only 4 months old but the staff have made it bearable for me. He is now 9 months old and loves to go to nursery.

His key worker is brilliant and knows him well but the other staff in wiggly worms also take the time to get to know each child.

The catering is amazing, I wish I was eating what he gets and I love the app that lets me see what my boy is up to while I’m at work.

Can not recommend this nursery highly enough.

The staff are all so wonderful, welcoming, friendly and approachable. My little boy has only been in 2 of the 4 rooms the nursery has to offer so far, however, even the staff who don’t work in his room know him and invest time in him. It’s truly a wonderful, magical place for a little rascal to be.

We get loads of updates both from the app on our phones and from the staff when we go to collect her in the evening.

There are so many toys and activities for the children to do - both inside and out. I know my daughter is never bored there!

The food is amazing too! The menu is so varied and very nutritionally balanced, which is important to us. My daughter doesn't eat bread at home, but she loves the one they make at nursery!

I am absolutely certain that my daughter has gained so much from going to this nursery, both in educational terms and behaviourally. She is so confident, considerate and happy - except when I sometimes fail to entertain her to the level she is used to from being at nursery!!

Little Green Rascals is an outstanding provider in my opinion. The quality of care is exceptional from the food to the range of activities they provide. All staff are welcoming and look after the children to the highest standard.

Little Green Rascals at Elvington Lane is a fantastic nursery. I couldn't imagine a more wonderful place for my two young kids to spend their days. The staff are caring and professional, the environment is always welcoming, and new and stimulating activities are constantly being introduced to enable the children to understand the world around them. Through forest school, language classes, dance classes, yoga and more, the children are exploring their talents. The organic ethos of Little Green Rascals is also worthy of much praise.

Little Green Rascals is a wonderful nursery, which my son loves and where he thrives. I'm always so impressed by the variety of activities which challenge the children and more importantly, are always great fun. The staff are caring, full of ideas and energy and always available if you need to talk to them. The forest school is just brilliant. There is also a great app for families which gives you constant updates throughout the day

I have now been using Little Green Rascals Elvington Lane for four and a half years and have my youngest still there in the preschool room. I cannot rate this nursery high enough. The children are well looked after, loved, stimulated and cared for. I have total confidence in the staff and the management.

Overall the nursery is a very warm and friendly place and feel confident when dropping my children off.

Little Green Rascals at Elvington Lane is such an amazing nursery.

It is an outstanding learning experience and creative environmemt. The key workers are incredible and our little boy enjoys it so much he often doesn’t want to leave at night!

The food is organic, healthy and well balanced and I really enjoy taking him in knowing he will develop in his time there.

Our daughter has been really happy and content at Little Green for the last 18 months. She loves it and always looks forward to going.

Finally, from the perspective of our own little one, the outdoors is the main feature; ours loves the outdoor adventure space and activities. When we collect our just-turned-two-year-old, she’s learned new words and phrases (indicating the staff communicate well to the children). After her long afternoon at nursery, our darling is always happy, chattering all about her happy day. There’s nowhere we’d be happier to leave our precious little darling.

He is thriving in the environment and is obviously very happy in the company of the staff looking after him.
