Little Green Rascals Day Nursery Tadcaster Road

Such a beautiful space for children to grow, learn and feel safe. Thoughtful, kind and fun staff provide a full day of interest and adventure, every day! Forest school adds great outdoor space, great activities by outside agencies (science tots and baby band were favourites for us) add to the great work done by nursery staff, the food is healthy and tasty, and the management team are available and approachable.

We recently tried the holiday club in Bishopthorpe (5+) & my son really enjoyed it.

Our child absolutely loved it at LGR Tadcaster Road. He joined at 2yo when we relocated to York and is now leaving for school. I'm very glad I trusted my gut feel and sent him here despite it being slightly more expensive and slightly further away from us.

All the team have been lovely, supportive, independence-building, conscientious. The day to day reality really has been like they said during the initial tour. The "grown ups" have warmth and understanding towards the children while setting standards via "golden rules", helping them to develop independence and confidence. They have supported him well to prepare for school despite him being young in the school year, including supporting us parents with extra school readiness meetings. One of the best parts for the pre-school children is forest school, where they build independence and spend time in amongst the trees, leaves and mud. Plus high quality, nutritious food.

Thank you to the lovely grown ups in Bumblebees!

LGR have been amazing! Not only for my son but have supported me as well over the last 3 years. My son has come on leaps and bounds while attending the nursery. Kelly his key worker has been incredible. We really are going to miss everyone! :(

We relocated to York and didn't have much time to find a nursery thankfully Green Rascals were able to accommodate and I am so pleased there was a space my daughter has loved going and I love all of the external providers they get in to keep them busy football classes, activity sessions, science classes and French just to name a few. Staff are so friendly and lovely with my daughter I can't thank them enough!

Choosing to send our daughter to Little Green Rascals on Tadcaster Road was definitely one of the best decisions we made.

She's now in her final year, so we've experienced the different classes and met so many of the lovely staff along the way. Throughout it all, it's been such a positive experience for our daughter. She's had so many fun days, learned lots, met some wonderful key workers, and made some really special friendships.

We're really grateful to the whole team for creating such a caring and supportive environment for our daughter.

A warm and caring setting. The staff are well trained and lovely. The range of activities are fun and educational. Great variety of food throughout the week. My little boy loves it and is really happy there.

The staff at LGR Tadcaster Road have been amazing. Our son adjusted very fast and they have been absolutely amazing with him from the start. Molly, Alexandra and Evie have been brilliant with our little boy and in keeping us updated on how he is adjusting and what he is doing during the day.

We have recently moved to York as a family, and we have a 16 month old daughter. Obviously, with such a move, as parents we were very worried about unsettling our daughter, and taking her away from a great nursery that she was already settled. The staff at little free rascals put our minds at ease immediately, and made the transition seamless and hassle free. The care provided to our daughter is first class, and the key practitioner takes a real interest in her development and happiness. The updates are provided through an app and are delivered at regular intervals. The safeguarding is excellent, and we couldn't feel happier with our choice of nursery.

Both my children (age 2 and 4) have an excellent standard of care and education at LGR Tadcaster. The staff are excellent, the activities and opportunities are outstanding. Would thoroughly recommend.

My daughter has been at Tadcaster Road LGR now for two years and we've had a great experience throughout. The staff are fantastic with the children, they are so warm and welcoming each morning and she absolutely loves going into nursery, even after the Christmas break. The facilities are great and she really enjoys the large outdoor space. There's also such a wide variety of activities available to the children. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the nursery to anyone.

Our daughter recently moved from another LGR to Tadcaster Road due to it being closer to our new home. She has settled in better than I could have ever imagined, she has made great friends & always so excited to go to nursery! The staff are wonderful & always providing new activities for the children to keep them engaged. The garden play area is huge & they seem to have lots of outdoor time. Couldn't recommend them more! We are so pleased with our decision to move to LGR Tadcaster Road!

Nick in the car park and Karen on the front desk make every day that bit easier. Exactly what I need as a busy, often stressed, parent! A truly nurturing, inspiring place - thank you, LGR!

The teachers can get extra support though - from cleaners for example. So the teachers can focus on the kids and teaching.

The communication with parents during the day is also good :)

My daughter is currently in the preschool room and has attended the nursery since birth. The care she has received from the staff has been exceptional throughout the nursery. She is currently being supported by the SENDCo too, who has kept us informed each step of the way and the team who work on her outcomes at nursery have shared her progress on a regular basis. The food is excellent and her dietary requirements are catered for well. The parent 'grab and go' breakfast is a welcome addition to the morning and the nursery definitely goes that extra mile. My daughter goes happily into nursery with a smile each day.

All staff members are brilliant. We love forest school

LGR has been a really positive place for my oldest daughter to go. It's not just childcare, but a space to grow and learn. The staff are extremely patient and caring towards the children and really help to make every day count in terms of learning and experiences. Their forest school has been a particular favourite to my homebody daughter, it's really increased her confidence and assisted in her learning and becoming ready for school. My youngest daughter will be starting LGR soon and i am excited to see how LGR enhances her learning journey too.

Overall I highly recommend the nursery.

My daughter moved to Little Green Rascals in January 2025, and the staff have been brilliant from the moment we inquired about availability, to settling in sessions, and to her transition to the pre school room. She became confident and made friends very quickly, thanks to their careful support. She's just had her first parents evening and I couldn't praise her key worker more for her understanding and care of my daughter. She's already very well prepared for starting school and loves going to nursery to do phonics, forest school, yoga and play. What a fab nursery this is.
