Since transitioning my son from a different nursery, Little Rascals Private Day Nurseries (Barwick Road) have been nothing but supportive. All the staff are super helpful and have definitely made my son feel welcome. He’s super excited to attend and I can notice the huge improvements already.

An amazing nursery! The staff are incredible with the children and the rooms, outdoor areas, equipment and activities are all well thought out and aimed at stimulating the children. Any queries or concerns are dealt with efficiently and I am always well informed of what my child has done throughout
the day. My child loves going to nursery here.

The nursery offers a high standard of learning cleanliness and well trained staff. The staff are brilliant and are great with all children. They maintain a strong relationship with each child in order to keep the children happy and feel comfortable within the environment. My daughters learning has been

Brilliant nursery and the staff are brilliant too. My daughter has come on leaps and bounds, the staff are so caring and update you regularly. They also have an app to tell you what your child has done throughout the day and also what they have eaten.

My daughter attends just one day a week but has loved it from the very first day. The staff are all welcoming and approachable and I know that my daughter is well looked after when she attends. They're always doing new and different activities which help her learn and progress but most importantly she
has fun. We are kept up to date throughout the day via the family app, so we know how she is getting on and what range of activities she's been doing when we're at work.

Review from R M (Mother of Child) published on 19 March 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son was born in lockdown and was very clingy when doing his visits due to not seeing many people due to the situation. The staff were very supportive, helpful and kind while I left him unsettled on his visits. They gave him the comfort and support he needed, which helped him bond with them. On his
first full day at nursery I was pleasantly surprised, happy and grateful that he was passed over to one of his carers with a smile and no tears. He's having a great time in there now and it settles my mind to know he is well looked after and happy while I work. Both my other two children also attended here from ten months till preschool and had a great relationship with all the staff, which helped them to have the confidence they needed to start big school.

The nursery is a brilliant place, the staff are fantastic with my little girl who has been attending since September. The best decision me and her dad have made, she really enjoys it, loves messy play and seeing all her friends. The days she has off, she even asks to go to school, meaning nursery.

Excellent nursery, with wonderful, caring staff who build fantastic relationships with the children. All three of my children attend/attended Little Rascals Private Day Nurseries (Barwick Road) and I firmly believe that they offer the best care and educational development in the area for my kids. I
should also say that two of my kids have milk allergies. The nursery accommodate their needs without fuss and we've never had an incident.

I adore Little Rascals Private Day Nurseries (Barwick Road) as does my little girl! We had a bad experience with a previous nursery so I was nervous when my little one started here but I need not be. They are amazing, so helpful, friendly, supportive. Great facilities and the staff really do care about
my little girl. The main thing as a parent is to know your child is safe and happy and she is at Little Rascals Private Day Nurseries (Barwick Road). She loves being there and they have brought on our little girls development no end. Organised activities, fancy dress days, a great app to keep me updated and they accommodated my little ones nut allergy too! Also, in the crazy Covid-19 world, they are compliant and keep the kids and staff safe! Send your child here, you won’t regret it. Thank you to the amazing staff of Little Rascals Private Day Nurseries (Barwick Road) for the work that you do!

My little one has been going to Little Rascals Private Day Nurseries (Barwick Road) since he was eight months. He loves getting up for nursery each morning to learn and see his friends. We have had no issues with Little Rascals Private Day Nurseries (Barwick Road) in the four years we have used the
team and have recommended them to numerous family and friends in the area. Lots of activities throughout the year to keep the children entertained. We receive regular updates through the family app, which gives me reassurance of what my little one is up to each day.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.650)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.650) out of 10 for Little Rascals Private Day Nurseries (Barwick Road) 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 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 9 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 Private Day Nurseries (Barwick Road) is calculated as follows: ( (108 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 108 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 4.65 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little Rascals Private Day Nurseries (Barwick Road) is based on 9 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 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 3.9
    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 60 number of registered child places is 12. 9 Positive Reviews ÷ 12 = 0.75
  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.
