I cannot recommend little green Rascals Haxby enough. Charlotte and her team are just amazing, they really do provide home from home care and my boys have absolutely loved being there from the day that they started to the day that they both left. The activities that they do with the children are so wonderful they really do think out of the box and provide experiences that my children wouldn't have at home and they have learnt so much from nursery. The environment that the nursery staff create is calm, cozy and just altogether beautiful. The staff have done so much for my family from Sen needs to overall family support. They really have played a huge part in bringing my children and I cannot thank them enough. Lynette and Gemma in preschool are absolutely the most kind, caring lovely people and supported by autistic little boy every single day since he's gone to school he talks about them every day and misses them so dearly!
Jemma, Molly and Lucy in cheeky hens are amazing too xx

We are so grateful for your lovely feedback about the care your boys have received from the team at Haxby. It means so much to know the nursery felt like a home from home and that the team made such a lasting impact, particularly through SEN support and nurturing experiences; it is just what we strive to achieve. Thank you for taking the time to recommend our nursery.

My daughter had never been to nursery before so I was a bit apprehensive when she started. Staff at Haxby Little Green Rascals have been great, reassured me when she started with regular updates. They've been excellent listeners and so patient with my daughter, providing her reassurance when needed and keeping her entertained and well looked after. She has only been coming a month and has already come on and developed so much all thanks to the staff and her key worker. Couldn't ask for a better nursery!

Little Green Rascals Day Nursery Haxby have looked after two of my children from the beginning of 2022. I always feel like all of the staff are incredibly caring and great with the children. They always greet parents with a smile on their faces and are positive and friendly. They give a detailed handover and always contact me when necessary. My eldest had a dairy intolerance and they have been brilliant with this. I've never had any issues with him having dairy by accident which is always a concern! I recommend Little Green Rascals Day Nursery to anyone I know with babies or young children.

My little boy started at LGR Haxby when he was 10 months old, naturally I was anxious leaving him so young however I had absolutely no need to be. His key worker and the rest of the Wiggly Worms team looked after him and he settled so well into nursery life. The staff have been really flexible with things like his naps which I’ve had to change and adapt as he’s got older and are really keen to work alongside us to ensure the best for our little boy. We receive useful daily information on the app and I feel well informed. The staff and his key worker are a pleasure to speak to at the beginning and end of the day and genuinely have my son's best interests at heart. I wouldn’t send him anywhere else!
Thank you.
