Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
It’s a fab nursery, they adapt to my little one so well. He has a lot of difficulties in socialising and getting used to new places. The nursery made him feel so welcome and work with him closely, helping him develop in all aspects. The staff are very friendly and very easy to communicate with. I couldn’t
have asked for a better nursery for him. He always comes out with a smile on his face!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My eldest attended here eight years ago, and my son started during lockdown. The staff are all equally amazing and nothing is ever too much trouble, they are really flexible if I need to change or add days. My son loves coming here and so did my daughter all those years ago. Would recommend it to everyone.

My oldest son went to Little Rascals and he loved it there. My two year old daughter now goes and she cannot wait to get there in the morning. She practically waves me off at the door! The staff are amazing. I would recommend Little Rascals to anyone!

My child loves the nursery and the staff, they are helpful and accommodating. My child has come out of themselves since starting at Little Rascals. My child loves the garden and toys and cannot wait to go.

Fantastic Nursery. Our first child attended and was never keen. They managed him and encouraged him to attend to enjoy and make friends. How they were with our first child encouraged us to send our second child here. She loves it and all staff members.

Review from Georgia B (Mother of Child) published on 17 May 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My little boy has attended Little Rascals from 9 months old, he has always been settled there and I have always felt 100% comfortable and confident with the care and attention he receives. I am updated daily on what activities he has taken part in by the online portal and written notes in his bag. He
takes part in painting, crafts, playing music and lots of outside playtime activities. It is great to know he is getting involved in so many activities. He is now 1 and has great social skills, walking confidently, playing and making friends and gargling nursery rhymes. Nursery has definitely helped his development in all areas. And most important of all he loves it!

Review from Adam H (Father of Child) published on 17 May 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both my children went to Little Rascals Nursery and the amount of support and development that they provide to children on a level that just is so clear when they come home, that they have enjoyed their day and are looking forward to the next day. It's these little early milestones that has set them
up for their school journey and both of my children were completely ready given the support that the nursery gave them on a daily basis.
They make it like home life at the nursery and offer something called free play where it is the child's decision to play with whatever they like. This is all fed back in regular reviews to see how children are developing at the side of the key stage milestones.
I cannot thank the girls/management enough for the level of support that they have given to our children. 11 out of 10. Excellent Nursery.

My little boy has attended nursery for numerous years now starting as a baby at 6 months old, he has progressed so much within this time. He loves to come to nursery and often cries when being picked up as he doesn't want to leave, the staff are all amazing and any questions or support I have needed
they are very helpful and if they cant help they find out who can help for me. I would highly recommend the nursery.

Review from Stacey C (Mother of Child) published on 13 May 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My child started nursery through the pandemic. With the restrictions applied to them, they have all been absolutely fantastic.
I was lucky to have a look around and my child attended a couple of taster sessions before the pandemic and all the children looked happy and all the staff interacted with
the children on their level which was lovely to see.
I always feel updated on everything regarding his progress and he always goes with a happy face and leaves with one. As a parent, I couldn’t ask for more.
I was recommended this nursery by a friend and now I’ve done the same!
The only negative is that he is leaving this summer!
Reply from Rebecca Holmes, Manager at Little Rascals Day Nursery
Thank you, Stacey.
Your review is much appreciated by us all and we hope he has an amazing time at big school from September.

The staff go above and beyond for the children in their care.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My child has been going to this nursery a year and half now. He’s come on so much! His speech improved dramatically from moving from a “high spec” nursery. He loves his friends and teachers! Not had a single tear or upset about being here, he always comes out happy and jolly, never an issue about him
going in on a morning. His personality has come out so much and he has grown in confidence since being here, I am so so happy I chose this nursery before his school starts, he’s really prepped and ready for school now! This nursery has clearly done an amazing job for my little boy, and he’s enjoyed being here all this time, will be sad when he leaves, but would thank these guys so much! Amazing place, and I would highly recommend this nursery to everyone! (mother of a happy, rearing to go little boy)

Little Rascals Nursery is a lovely welcoming, friendly environment. My son has been attending since he was 10 months old and has enjoyed it every day. He has learnt so much and has good friendships with both children and adults at nursery. He is due to start school in September and I know he will miss
everything about nursery, but I also know the staff at nursery will help him with his transition into his next stage of life.

Our daughter started at Little Rascals in the baby room at the beginning of the year and from day 1 she has been so happy there. The nursery itself is fantastic, such a lovely building and the outdoor area is incredible. All the staff have been so welcoming and friendly and our daughter is always excited
when she sees them. She always gets up to such fun activities which we get to see with weekly photos uploaded from her key worker. The management has been so friendly and the girls in the baby room are just so lovely. I can’t recommend this lovely nursery enough!

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.360)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.360) out of 10 for Little Rascals Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.4 out of 5 from 7 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 5.000 for Little Rascals Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (83 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 83 Ratings = 5
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.36 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little Rascals Day Nursery is based on 7 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 3.7
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 53 number of registered child places is 10.6. 7 Positive Reviews ÷ 10.6 = 0.66
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
