Review from Caroline F (Mother of Child) published on 19 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son has attended LGR Flaxton for a year now and has recently moved to the Cheeky Hens room. I continue to be very happy with the nursery. It's a lovely setting with lots of outdoor space and they try and get the children outside as much as possible (weather permitting). The staff are very attentive and do lots of varied activities with the children. Would highly recommend.

Reply from Angela Bailey, Head of Customer Experience at Little Green Rascals Day Nursery Flaxton

We are delighted to read that your son continues to enjoy his time at our nursery and has settled well into his new room. The team will be pleased to know that the outdoor space and varied activities are among his highlights. Thank you for taking the time to recommend our nursery.

Review from Esther M (Mother of Child) published on 19 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our daughter has been going to Little Green Rascals since she was just 13 months old. The toddler room has certainly been the highlight for us! She has so much confidence now and has made lots of friends. She also adores her keyworker and the other ladies in the room. It is a little pricey compared to town nurseries, but don't let this put you off, as the children are in the country air and able to spend so much time playing/exploring the outdoors! Our daughter only goes once a week and at first we thought she may struggle to ever settle, but we have absolutely no doubt she has the best time. Although we don't receive constant updates about her, we see a noticeable difference in her social and communication development each month. She always leaves so happy and full of joy!

Reply from Angela Bailey, Head of Customer Experience at Little Green Rascals Day Nursery Flaxton

We are delighted to read how much your daughter enjoys her time at our nursery and the confidence she has gained, especially during her time in the toddler room. The team will be pleased to know that the friendships she has made and the opportunities to explore the outdoors are such valued parts of her experience.

The team show excellent attitude, care and support for our children, who are always excited to "go to nursery" each morning. They show constant learning progress, take further interest in subjects at home, and the team have helped us develop their personal care and social skills.

Overall Experience
We would highly recommend Little Green Rascals Flaxton.
We have recently joined the nursery and are first time parents. The team are kind, helpful and really supportive in answering any questions you have, plus providing clear guidance and helpful links to wider information.
The settle in days are a great way for both you and your baby to get used to nursery. The team go the extra mile hosting parent and grandparent days, sports days, alongside themed charity days.
The nursery is friendly, stimulating and what sets it apart is the amazing outside facilities for your little ones to grow and develop. Lastly we cannot forget the chef and the delicious food he creates.

A huge thank you to the whole team for making us so welcome!!

Reply from Angela Bailey, Head of Customer Experience at Little Green Rascals Day Nursery Flaxton

Review from Tim K (Father of Child) published on 3 July 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We recently moved into the area which meant that our Son was in the middle of a Pre-school year and having left his old friends at his previous Pre-school was having to settle into a new house a new area and a new Pre-school. He couldn't have been happier from the start and felt welcomed and happy in the new environment and loved the fantastic areas LGR Flaxton has for the children to play and interact in. The staff have been wonderful and helped immensely in ensuring our Son was welcomed and settled in quickly, whilst fully understanding the potential challenges he was facing with the move. He particularly loves the outdoor areas and comes home each day happy, having clearly embraced (literally) every single bit of the outdoor areas. Highly recommend.

Reply from Angela Bailey, Head of Customer Experience at Little Green Rascals Day Nursery Flaxton

Thank you so much for recommending our nursery. It is wonderful to know how smoothly your son settled in, especially during such a big transition and that he felt welcomed and happy from the start.

Warm and friendly nursery staff. My daughter has enjoyed being at Flaxton for two and a half years. She has grown in confidence throughout and made some wonderful friends. The children do a wide variety of activities including French and mindfulness. The food is freshly cooked on site and the kids are able to spend a lot of time outdoors. Highly recommended.

Overall Experience

Our twins started at Little Green Rascals in Flaxton earlier this year and absolutely love it! If they could go every day they probably would. They have fantastic bonds with all the staff not just in their room but with everyone and will be so delighted to see any member of staff. One of our twins has additional needs and the nursery has supported the whole family and really supports our child with their support plan and helping them to reach realistic goals. Our twins love socialising and being part of a nursery family and really benefit from attending.

Reply from Angela Bailey, Head of Customer Experience at Little Green Rascals Day Nursery Flaxton

Thank you for taking the time to review our setting. It is important to us that we get to know families individually and nurture and support children so that they develop at their own pace. We are so pleased to read how your children are enjoying their time with us.

Overall Experience

The most perfect setting that has nurtured both of our two boys! The outdoor space and incredible extra-curricular activities on offer make this nursery ideal and the only place for our two energetic little ones. Loved and nurtured from the minute they started it is lovely to hear them bound out with stories to tell from their day and all of the fun that they have had! We are envious of the food the boys get to eat there on a daily basis, we love sampling the parent breakfast and tasty treats at the various events held throughout the year! It is so comforting knowing our boys are looked after by such skilled, caring, kind and fun staff who go above and beyond. Thank you for all that you all do!

Excellent nursery, catered fantastically to both our son's special educational needs and neurotypical daughter. Both loved their time at the nursery and in particular the outdoor space, the ethos and the food! The staff made them feel like they had a sense of belonging when they were there and they have made good friendships which they continue now they have left.

My 4-year-old son started here in October 2023 following the sudden closure of his then nursery which he had attended since a baby. Little Green Rascals Day Nursery were compassionate and made the transition for him very smooth. He now can’t wait to go and enjoys the outdoor way of life with fantastic outside space and regular trips to the on-site forest school! Highly recommend.

Reply from Joanne Wright, Chief Marketing Officer at Little Green Rascals Day Nursery Flaxton

Your son did brilliantly well in settling after such a long time at his old nursery and we're so proud to see him getting ready for school. Thank you for taking the time to review us.

Overall Experience

Our daughter absolutely loves her time at nursery and we feel so reassured knowing that she is being taken care of while we’re at work. The staff are amazing and it is lovely to see the bond our daughter has with them. They identify individual learning needs/objectives to make sure the children are getting the best out of their time there. The facilities are great, with wonderful outdoor spaces and forest school activities too. I love hearing about all the things she gets up to and the delicious freshly prepared food she eats. She is so happy there and runs in every day to play with her friends!

Fantastic nursery, my kids adore it!

My son is disabled and they have stepped up to meet every single one of his many needs and taken it all in their stride. Extremely inclusive and supportive atmosphere. They are a family at Little Green Rascals Day Nursery Flaxton and they really care. Facilities, activities, food and care are all exceptional and worth the cost.

Overall Experience

My child has been at Little Green Rascals Day Nursery Flaxton for almost eighteen months and it’s the best decision we made. We were struggling to find a nursery in our town that lived up to the environment we hoped for our child, so we looked a little further afield and found this one. It’s perfect. The staff, the environment, the food and, most importantly, the principles of childcare are second to none. The communication is fantastic and everything is very transparent. We couldn’t have picked a better nursery for our child. School will have a lot to live up to now they have had this start.

Reply from Joanne Wright, Chief Marketing Officer at Little Green Rascals Day Nursery Flaxton

I'm sure school will be wonderful too and the next step in your son's journey. We are grateful that you chose to travel a little further to come to us, thank you.

Review from J A (Father of Child) published on 26 April 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My little one has been attending Little Green Rascals Flaxton since 2018. She began her journey in the baby room, and is preparing to go to school this September.

The care provided by the team has been phenomenal over the last 4 years. She has been nurtured from a baby, right through to pre-school. Her key person, Bridget, leads their Forest school, delivering amazing activities and experiences each week. They spend the majority of their time outside, which we love, as a family.

The food is amazing, organic, fresh and super healthy and we often request the recipes to try ourselves at home.

The care at Flaxton is second to none and we can’t thank the team enough for all their hard work and dedication.

Overall Experience

We have been with Little Green Rascals Organic Day Nursery - Flaxton since my son was one-years-old. He’s now coming to the end of nursery years as he starts school in September. From the very start Little Green Rascals Organic Day Nursery - Flaxton has been amazing, the staff are fantastic and so is the owner, nothing is ever too much. Finishing at Little Green Rascals Organic Day Nursery - Flaxton is brilliant. Their forest school is amazing, my boy really enjoys it and the girls who look after him are all fantastic. The manager and two other members of staff are my son's favourites but to be honest we love them all. Anyone who’s thinking of going to Little Green Rascals Organic Day Nursery - Flaxton, you will not regret it. I 1000-percent recommend them. Thank you for making memories with my son, you're all fantastic.
