I couldn't be happier with this nursery. The staff are so kind, caring, and professional. My child always comes home happy and full of stories about the day. The environment is clean, safe, and very welcoming. I feel confident leaving my little one there, knowing they are well cared for and learning
so much every day. Highly recommended to any parent looking for a wonderful place for their child.

My little boy started this nursery in Jan, I was a little apprehensive of sending my little one to nursery after having issues previously at a different nursery for my eldest child.
I'm so happy I found little rascals, he enjoys his time at nursery even though he is a very clingy baby. I have lots
of updates throughout the day of the amazing activities they put on for the little ones with pictures.
The staff in yellow room are lovely, so loving and caring towards and even had staff members greet us outside of the nursery setting which is nice to genuinely feel they care.
My toddler has a serve milk allergy, in 6 months we have had no issues and his dietary requirements are looked after.
I have nothing but a positive opinion, always interacting with my eldest on pick up, giving him an ice pop to make him feel included. They have had little sunflower kits in the hallways, school trips and mother and Father's Day breakfast, little extras to make it feel like a family.

The experience I have had while my child has been attending nursery has been fantastic they are all so caring and welcoming and know how to calm the children when they need it and help with things families might be working on at home eg:potty training.
There is great communication between parents
and the staff through the app or in person.

Both my children who are 2 and 3 came into my care fulltime and straight away i was able to get them into little rascals and the staff were amazing from the get go! My daughters struggled at first, but all the staff made my girls and me feel welcome everyday we attended. I couldnt thank the staff here
enough for how theyve been, my daughters absolutely love going to nursery now and its pretty much all they talk about at home "see my friends" and "have nom noms at nursery". I would recommend this nursery to anyone seeking early start with their children. Thank you again

My eldest who is nearly 3 has been here almost 2 years. He developed so much confidence and communication after being here just a few months and this has continued he speech is improving month on month he now counting past 10 and has good shape recognition. The nursery facilitate different activities
throughout the year that he really enjoys such as forest school, bilingual sing, football any many more. They supported us with potty training. My youngest is 1 and has attended the last 3/4 months he joined at 10 months when I returned to work and I was so worried leaving him much younger than I did his brother. The nursery were so supportive and were happy to arrange an extra settlement day. He absolutely loves it too he has become so much more confident and independent during this time highly recommended.

This is an amazing nursery for my little one. They nursery pay attention to all details. One key thing is staff will message on famly to check if everything is alright in case my little one hasn't turned up to nursery yet.
I love the creativity that is displayed through the lessons they teach which
is really great. My son loves it here and all the staff have been amazing in helping him settle in to nursery.

I send both my sons here (3 years old and 1 year old) they absolutely love it!
The staff have been so patient with my 1 year old when he was struggling to let me leave sending me pictures and reassuring me that he was happy once I'd left him!
My 3 year old has made so many new friends and it is lovely
to see how his speech and confidence has started to shine since he started!
Getting constant updates on how your child is doing during their time in nursery is amazing if you're a little worried about leaving your child like I was but now I'm worry free because I know that they are thriving whilst here!
They both come home with a new song to sing which I have then got to learn aswell!
Can't thank the staff enough for keeping them safe and happy whilst I'm at work!

My child always has the best time at nursery. Activities are always enticing and well thought out with a clear learning intention. Parent communication is brilliant and staff are truly amazing! He loves the meals too! It's clear that they care for my child as much as I do! I wouldn't send him anywhere
else!

Amazing nursery with an amazing team. My daughter has attended this nursery for 3 years. They always have fab learning based activities lined up for the children and the days are always jam packed full of fun. Meals are of a fantastic standard with a lot of selection.

Since my daughter started Nursery in September I couldn't be more happier with her progress, the nursery have been great with communication understanding.
My daughter is non verbal and autistic and I have watched her grow in confidence also have her needs been met.
I previously have struggled to
find trust in people looking after her.
When I had lost hope of being able to find her a suitable setting to meet her needs, I looked round little rascals and was reassured they could and would.
I couldn't thank the SENCO team enough for the time and effort and love they have given to my daughter, they really have been amazing.


E has thrived since attending this nursery, her behaviours her patience and communication has come on so much.
Would recommend this nursery to anyone.
All the staff are lovely.

My child is in green room and the staff as a whole are amazing! My child's key workers are are particularly amazing! I see them regularly and speaking to them most mornings and evening on drop off and pick up! They keep me in loop and send pictures regularly throughout the day. They spend time on getting
to know my child and her personality and do in-depth observations on her. The food is good but I provide a pack up incase my child won't eat but she is picky sometimes will eat sometime won't but it does have a range of food too test her taste buds and get her use to new foods and snacks that are available are a wide range of selection .
Over all the staff are amazing and would recommend them to anyone.

My child has been at little rascals since April 2024 and I can not praise them enough, she loves it here and after viewing many nursery's this one definitely felt like home. She settled very quickly and is very close to all her carers and has many friends too. They keep us updated weekly progresses
and she is thriving. It will be a shame to leave when she has to start school. My child's key worker and is amazing and was always supportive for me too when I needed advise or guidance. Her new key worker since she changed to blue room and I must say my child has a special place in her heart for her. Thank you for everything you do for all of us. The support you get as parent is incredible

We are happy with this nursery because our son is growing up in different aspects. He enjoys the nursery days as he was only 15 hours per week. So he is happy going to the nursery. Our overall experience is fully satisfactory.

The teachers go above and beyond to help my little ones settle in and meet their needs every day. I've seen a lot of progress with my daughter learning the language and communicating her emotions and needs. My son needed extra help settling in and everyone was very supportive. He's since made friends,
learnt new skills and continues to develop. The management is very helpful and has worked well with our family to find the schedules that suit our family best. I particularly enjoy all the updates through the app, knowing what my children have been up to, seeing their pictures and receiving observations. Thank you very much for taking such a good care of our children!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.862)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.862) out of 10 for Little Rascals Private Day Nurseries (Station Road) is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 32 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 32 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.862 for Little Rascals Private Day Nurseries (Station Road) is calculated as follows: ( (341 Excellents x 5) + (33 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 383 Ratings = 4.862

  • b) 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little Rascals Private Day Nurseries (Station Road) is based on 32 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 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, which has been reached with 32 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
