I absolutely love Little Green Rascals Poppelton, my little girl has come on so much since starting in July! She started in the cheeky hen's room and is now in preschool, it was such an easy and calm transition for her which she was super during! All of the staff around both me a my daughter have been
fully supported during the months she's been here. Her key workers have always been amazing and so supporting and so have the other supporting staff I have met. The nursery have a lovely indoor and outside area which my daughter loves to explore. She comes home every night excited to tell me about what exciting activities she has been doing during the day! Everyone is so helpful and any questions are always answered. I would recommend this nursery to everyone I know!

Main concern is safety at pick-up, no barriers and it's a busy road. Not many parking spaces. Often have to park a distance away. Cobbles loose outside at pick-up. We don't seem to be getting a lot of learning moments like we used to.

We've been so impressed by Little Green Rascals Poppleton. Our son loves his nursery workers, has made lots of little friends and always comes home happy and telling us about his day. The team work hard to provide great learning activities for the children, from tuff tray activities to crafts, outdoor
activities to learning to sign. The food sounds amazing (I wish I ate as well as these toddlers!) and the communication with management has always been quick and efficient. It's been a fantastic nursery for us!

Little Green Rascals Poppleton has been a wonderful, fulfilling, safe environment for our daughter and one that has provided her with stimulation and learning throughout her time with them. Staff forge caring, therapeutic relationships with the children and show kindness at all times. We have been having
a difficult time in our personal lives recently and the nursery have gone above and beyond what would ever be expected of them and we are forever grateful that they have provided a consistent and happy environment for our daughter. The children are fed substantial, healthy meals and are taught through a variety of different ways. I feel like my daughter is looked after at the absolute standard I would expect her to be when apart from us and I never have a worry at drop off, nothing has been too much in them supporting her and fostering her development. We love LGR Poppleton.

My son attends the Cheeky Hen room at Poppleton Little Green Rascals and has been for the last 2 years. He absolutely adores the staff team and is always excited about going in on a morning. His favourite thing to do is to join in with the little football session in the preschool room on a Thursday.
Thank you for taking such good care of my little rascal and giving him such a great start for the future.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our daughter is extremely happy at Honey Pots. She started off by attending two days per week and quickly adapted to the comfortable settings. She now attends four days per week and it has improved her development immensely. The staff at Honey Pots are all like family to her and I know when she has
to start school it will be difficult for her to transition.
Our daughter has had extra support externally to assist with her development and Honey Pots have been extremely supportive of her needs. They have worked together to bring her development up-to-speed and she is now almost equal with her peers. The other children and families are always so friendly and I am glad that my daughter will be moving on to school with friends that she knows from the nursery.
The managers are very helpful and accommodating, space permitting, any extra days that have had to be arranged at short notice. The setting is rural but idyllic for days out in the summer when regular walks are taken.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.529)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.529) out of 10 for Little Green Rascals Day Nursery Poppleton is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 8 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 4.777 for Little Green Rascals Day Nursery Poppleton is calculated as follows: ( (76 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 94 Ratings = 4.777
  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 4.752 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little Green Rascals Day Nursery Poppleton is based on 8 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 = 3.8
    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 42 number of registered child places is 8.4. 8 Positive Reviews ÷ 8.4 = 0.952
  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.
