Both our children go to Little Green Rascals Day Nursery Tadcaster Road 3 days a week. Both have settled in very quickly, starting at 3 years old and 11 months. They are enjoying their time there thanks to the extremely caring staff and lovely activities. We have seen our eldest grow in confidence and
build friendships, she is also making good progress with phonics and getting ready for school. Finally, the focus on sports/outdoor activities is exceptional, forest school, yoga, rugby, and mini kicks, are making a real difference.

We have been with Little Green Rascals Day Nursery Tadcaster Road for three years and have been happy from day one to current day. Every aspect of our children's needs are looked after, and when we need more, whether it#s an extra day, an early drop off or advice they are always here to help.
We would
always recommend Little Green Rascals to friends and although we have no more kids, if we do they will come here. The car park is very very good.

Little Green Rascals Tadcaster Road is a very good nursery. Our second child is there currently, following in the footsteps of our first. Whilst it is not the cheapest nursery, there are no hidden expenses like nappies, sun cream, meals, etc. A few slight concerns are creeping in since the founder and
owner sold the group to a national nursery chain, giving rise to concerns that activities such as "Forest School" may be phased out, which would be a shame as our kids both loved it.
Reply from Hannah Nabil, Digital Marketing Specialist at Little Green Rascals Day Nursery Tadcaster RoadThank you for sharing your experience with us. We're delighted to hear that Little Green Rascals Tadcaster Road has been a positive choice for your family, providing a nurturing environment for both of your children. We understand your concerns regarding the change in ownership and potential adjustments to activities like Forest School. Rest assured, we value the feedback of our families and are committed to maintaining the quality and uniqueness of our curriculum. We'll do our best to address any concerns and ensure that the nursery continues to provide enriching experiences for all the children. Thank you for being part of our community.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I moved my son from another highly rated nursery as I noticed his whole demeanour had changed when he moved up a class. He became distressed on the way there/at drop off, always by himself on collection and in the photos and had big meltdowns at home as if he had bottled everything up all day.
We changed
to Little Green Rascals and the change was instant! He enjoyed his settling-in days exploring the room and not shying away from the children. He is now a very happy confident little boy again who joins in with all the fab sensory activities! I feel the staff really know him from the way they report at the end of the day. They have fab insight into development and I know they have been instrumental in encouraging his learning. They encourage independence in a very nurturing way. The food is incredible and organic, the receptionist and car park attendant are very warm and welcoming. It just is a beautiful little nursery and I’m so glad we made the switch and got our happy cheeky monkey back!
Reply from Hannah Nabil, Digital Marketing Specialist at Little Green Rascals Day Nursery Tadcaster RoadYour son's journey and the positive changes you've noticed since joining Little Green Rascals are truly inspiring. We're thrilled to have been able to provide him with a nurturing environment where he can flourish. It's fantastic to hear that he's now happily engaging in sensory activities and building confidence. We greatly appreciate your recognition of our staff's dedication, the quality of our food, and the warmth of our reception team. Thank you for entrusting us with your son's care, and we're delighted to have him as part of our nursery community!

Little Green Rascals Organic Day Nursery - Tadcaster Road is so special. I was very nervous to send my son to full-time nursery at 11 months, but Little Green Rascals Organic Day Nursery is perfect and I’m so glad we picked there.
The app is fantastic, the team keep you in the loop and the facilities
are wonderful, but the real heart of Little Green Rascals are the staff. The office manager gave me a hug during first day tears, and the staff in Wiggly Worms are just fabulous. They kept us fully informed in the build-up to my son starting and eased him in carefully. They’re extremely hard working and I’ve no idea how they do what they do.
Finally, there are not enough words to describe my gratitude for my son’s key worker. She is so genuinely invested in his happiness and wellbeing, and my son adores her. What more could you hope for when you leave your heart with someone to take care of each day? One day he will move on from nursery but I’ll always remember the impact his key worker made on his little life (and ours). Thank you Little Green Rascals!

Really pleased with Little Green Rascals Tadcaster Road! My daughter has flourished since joining. The staff are welcoming as soon as you walk in and the tell is my daughter’s reaction to going to nursery - it took her about two mornings until she ran in without looking back, which is always a good
sign. She loves the staff and her key worker!

We love Little Green Rascals, my 3rd daughter just started in Wiggly Worms. The level of care is of a very high standard, the staff is great and nothing is too much to ask. They are kind and friendly and very caring toward the children. My 9-year-old went there and still staff are very kind and friendly
talking to her. When an issue is raised it is dealt with promptly for the interest of the children. Food is amazing and now we are being offered breakfast on the go for parents which I think it is very thoughtful as we are rushing in the morning to get to work on time. I can't praise enough this nursery, not perfect but who is?

Our child joined Little Green Rascals Tadcaster Road in the autumn of 2022 as a preschooler and we’ve had a very good experience overall. While there was some staff changeover in our child’s room in the first few months due to illnesses and staff shortages, we always felt that they were being well cared
for and that the staff were providing a stimulating and nurturing environment. Now some of the staff challenges have been resolved which has meant increased organisation and communication. Our child is happy at the nursery, with no complaints. The only thing that was a little different than advertised is that they don’t have any animals (although they did just get some Guinea pigs), do forest school (though I believe they are planning to restart in the summer) or have language lessons, as I had read on the Little Green Rascals website. I’m not actually sure how large the outdoor space is as I’ve not seen it, it doesn’t seem huge from the pictures. However, we would still rate it as excellent and recommend it to other families.

From the nursery manager to the finance team, to the staff who look after my daughter, and have done since she was eleven months old - they’ve all been brilliant!
Any issues have been dealt with quickly, effectively and supportively and I’m really pleased with how staff seem to consider which key
worker might be best for my daughter. She’s formed a close bond with all of them.
She bounds into nursery happily.

As a first-time parent, leaving my 10-month-old at a nursery was a very difficult experience. Fortunately, that feeling didn’t last for very long. Within a few weeks, my son was not only excited to go to nursery, he absolutely fell in love with his key person.


His key worker has been a blessing.

She’s beyond sweet and caring and her genuineness is evident in the bond she has formed with my son. She always goes out of her way to make you feel comfortable and at ease.


I love the App that all parents have access to. I can easily check to see what and whether my son has eaten, nappy changes, etc. I don’t have to call the nursery for updates which makes things easier. I also get sent pictures of his activities and updates on his development.


In general, the staff at Little Green Rascals- Tedcaster are brilliant. They’re always very friendly and welcoming. The entire building is always very clean and the food options are admirable.


I would very highly recommend this nursery to anyone!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.924)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.924) out of 10 for Little Green Rascals Day Nursery Tadcaster Road is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 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 4.924 for Little Green Rascals Day Nursery Tadcaster Road is calculated as follows: ( (267 Excellents x 5) + (20 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 288 Ratings = 4.924
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little Green Rascals Day Nursery Tadcaster Road is based on 24 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 4
    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 107 number of registered child places is 21.4, which has been reached with 24 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
