My daughter started just before she turned 1 in April 2024. They were brilliant at getting her settled and taking the time to make both her and myself comfortable with the transition. My daughter bonded with the staff and I really love the updates we get throughout the day. Pick up and drop off are brilliant because you get to go into the room and collect her and so you get to see her with all of her little friends and see the staff interacting with the kids. Finally, the development I've seen in my child has been precious, they do so many educational activities and I feel like they have a real love for her and get to know her little quirks.
The team will be delighted to read how that have eased the transition into nursery life for you and your daughter, it can feel daunting at first. We are so proud of our team and the activities we provide and are always happy to share these moments with family through the app and and collection time.

A special mention to the room leader - cheeky hens, the room leader - bumble bees and the office manager - all are brillant , helpful and clearly love their jobs and the children.
I would recommend this nursery without a doubt. Very slight downside is the limited parking and gets very busy at peak times - but the parking attendant is brillant. I only drive when it is less busy as the car park is quite tight and it's preferable to reverse park!
Thank you for your lovely review! We're so happy to read how much your son enjoys nursery, especially the extra activities and delicious meals. It's wonderful to know that our team has made such a positive impact on your family. We appreciate your recommendation and feedback about parking!
I sent my son to LGR Tadcaster Road from when he was 19 months old until he just turned 3. The only reason we are moving is to go to another LGR that is closer to his older siblings primary school. My son has been incredibly happy at LGR and has formed close bonds with many members of staff. It is...
Communication has been good during his time there, and it has been like a community which both boys (even the one at school!) feel a part of.
I'm looking forward to see my son develop further in preschool at his new LGR
We are delighted to read that your son has had a positive experience at our setting and thrived during his time with us. We're excited for him to continue his journey at our sister nursery!
Little green rascals Tadcaster Road is such a wonderful nursery, both of my children have thrived in this fantastic nursery thanks to the amazing staff that work there. I can't say anything bad about it and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a childcare option in this area of York.

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.
Our team will be delighted to read how happy you are with the care, activities and education they provide to your children. Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review.

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.
We aim to support families and children from settling in sessions at registration through many important milestones, exciting learning experiences and onwards to starting school. Thank you for recommending our nursery.
Staff members who have looked after our daughter have been amazing. Our daughter has formed such a bond having updates via the app with photos and what they have been up to and eaten throughout the day has been incredibly comforting, love receiving updates through the app.

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.
Thank 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...

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!

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.

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!
Thank you so much for your review, we really appreciate it!
Staff at Little Green Rascals are very enthusiastic and keen to get to know each child individually. There are new activities for the children to engage in every day. The meals are varied and healthy.

We’re really happy with the nursery. They encourage independence and our little boy loves that and has developed a lot since joining a few months ago. The food is great and most importantly the staff are lovely and really engaged - so many great activities!

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?

My son has been going to Little Green Rascals for the last 9 months and really enjoys his time at nursery. All his room staff are great and he is always talking about them at home. I trust the nursery with his care completely.

Excellent care from really engaged staff. They are always good with feedback and general communication. The regular reviews are really helpful in understanding my child's development and providing insight into focus areas.
