Little Green Rascals Day Nursery Elvington boasts a generous 420 square meters of outdoor space, ensuring endless opportunities for exploration and adventure. The nursery offers exceptional care, enriched by unique learning opportunities for your child. One such experience is child-friendly cooking classes, helping to equip children with valuable skills and deeper knowledge of the cooking process.
Inside, the team follow the areas of learning and development set out in the Early Years Foundation stage. Outside, the beautifully landscaped gardens are a daily haven for the children. They can freely ride bicycles, engage in imaginative play in the mud kitchens, traverse willow tunnels, unleash their creativity on giant musical instruments, conquer the expansive wooden play apparatus and joyfully leap into the deepest of puddles!
In Wiggle Worms, the youngest babies embark on a journey of learning and exploration through sensory activities. The dedicated team fosters strong relationships, ensuring a smooth settling-in process for both you and your baby.
In Dancing Dragonflies, children are encouraged to develop independence and curiosity. They can climb the indoor climbing frame, engage in imaginative play within home corners and challenge themselves with puzzles that stretch their mathematical abilities.
In Cheeky Hens, the enhancement of speech, language and understanding of skills is a priority. Daily messy play activities ignite creativity, while focused topics deepen the children's knowledge and understanding of the world around them.
The team foster each child’s development as independent learners, ensuring they are enthusiastic and well-prepared for school when September arrives. At this age, free-flow access makes it possible to spend entire days immersed in the captivating gardens!

Our daughter has been at this nursery for 18 months now and we are so pleased with our choice. It’s always hard leaving a child for the first time but the staff were incredibly reassuring and helped us all ease in smoothly - she now runs into nursery excited to see the wonderful staff and the...
The communication is excellent and we love hearing about what activities have happened that day, as well as regular parent forums, stay and play sessions and open days for the families. The outside space and access to forest school and the maze is also brilliant. The meals and snacks they get are fantastic, varied and healthy. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the nursery to others, they do a fantastic job and we couldn’t be happier.
Little Green Rascals has been absolutely brilliant for my boy. He started age 17 months after having a very bad experience at another nursery. He was nervous (as was I), and the staff really made him welcome and settle in. I can’t thank them enough for everything they have done! 18 months on from...

He was nervous (as was I), and the staff really made him welcome and settle in. I can’t thank them enough for everything they have done! 18 months on from that and he still loves his days there, while I am confident leaving him. The outside space and forest school are perfect for him, and the food is amazing!
We love the nursery and our son is having the best time and learning lots. So many different activities and outdoor opportunity. Warmly recommend.

My daughter has been at Little Green Rascals for three months and I am thrilled with the nursery. She has never been left with anyone/anywhere before so took a while to settle, but the whole team were absolutely amazing. They were reassuring, kind, gentle and just utterly fabulous with her (and...
She now runs into nursery, is full of stories about her adventures and has increased in confidence so much! This is just the beginning of her journey and we are very excited as to what the future holds!
The staff show a genuine care for my child, they are warm and welcoming. I am happy to leave my child with them knowing she is safe and in a homely and friendly environment.

The access to outdoors is amazing and my child spends so much time in the garden. When I pick up she is well fed, happy and normally exhausted from running around so much!
I have been delighted with the nursery since my son started in September. The staff are warm, attentive and it is obvious that they genuinely care for the children. From the variety of stimulating activities on offer each day, to the organic menu and regular opportunities for outdoor learning both...
Having viewed several local nurseries, I feel that Little Green Rascals by far provides the best care and opportunities for children to personally develop. My son loves it!
Staff are so caring for children. I am always happy with the daily feedback I receive and also information and pictures put on our Famly app.

This nursery is fantastic. My daughter has been attending for the last 10 months and the nursery welcomed her with opened arms. I leave going to work feeling confident that she’s having a great time and in safe hands! The nursery update me on a daily basis with photos of various fun activities and a user-friendly app, where I can see her food diary, naps etc! (Yummy organic food indeed!). I see these updates and know she’s having a great time with her nursery buddies and staff. The staff are ever so friendly and are very personable with my daughter. I would highly recommend this nursery!
The level of care my son receives us second to none. The different activities and opportunities the nursery provide are excellent - forest school, the maize, theatre trips, outdoor facilities etc.
My son loves it here and has great relationships with staff and other rascals alike.

Little Green Rascals is amazing, our little girl loves going to nursery, she adores all the staff. I couldn’t wish for a better nursery to send our little girl to, we feel so at ease knowing she’s there and in the best hands. I can’t recommend Little Green Rascals enough, it’s amazing.

Elvington Little Green Rascals is an amazing nursery. Our two daughters are in Pre-school and Cheeky Hens and have an amazing time. The range of activities is extensive, and the Forest School and outside space are both favourites of my two. The meals offered are varied and nutritious. Importantly, the nursery has a good balance of male/female staff, which the children love. I wish I could spend my days here!
The nursery is beautiful and we really appreciate the outside spaces. Our eldest has been with the nursery for three years now and the nursery has evolved from a stand-alone organic setting into a chain and this is definitely noticeable in the increased rules and regulations, announcements on the...
The room manager and his key worker are fantastic but the number of children in each group makes for a very busy environment, which can be overwhelming for young kids.
I personally wish the nursery would focus less on ‘add-ons’ such as yoga or sports, and more on making my child happy and settled in a warm and nurturing environment.
Children are very happy here and it makes going to work each day a lot easier. Great outdoor space and lots of trips to other places too.

We’ve had a fantastic experience with the nursery and I can not recommend it highly enough. Our son was very shy, to begin with, but is now thriving and enjoying himself with close relationships with the team and his key person. The team have been very patient with us and our son in settling in and always give lots of feedback when we go to collect him.
We love the app and way in which we receive updates in real time about our son and also the fact we can contact the room at any time.
A great location, facilities and above all people.

My son has been at the nursery for about 2 years now and I've been impressed with it from the start. The outdoor space is what - among other things - attracted us first to the nursery and it has proved to be excellent; the kids are outside as much as possible! Since joining the pre-school room my son's been attending forest school as well which he has loved! The warmth from staff is a constant across all three rooms that my son's been in. My son's current key-worker is particularly excellent - she is able to pick up on the subtlest signals that he needs a bit of a cuddle and that's extremely reassuring for me. There is great care and attention paid to providing a wide variety of activities and stimulus to the kids and letting them pick what they want to do. The food is amazing, my son eats all sorts at pre-school that he wouldn't contemplate at home! This is not the nursery that's the most convenient for us but I haven't once regretted choosing to send my son there.

I now have 2 children attending Little Green Rascals and continue to be extremely satisfied that they are offering the best possible nursery provision available. My eldest daughter started 3.5 years ago and whilst always excellent, throughout that period I've seen the nursery continue to evolve and improve. The recent transition to online system for daily updates and news, has really helped me with the transition of my second daughter to nursery as I've felt very connected to her and loved seeing real time photos of her day, and given me even greater insight into the vast array of activities that are on offer to children throughout their day, as well as making it even easier to keep in touch with Staff and management.
