Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our baby boy joined Wiggly Worms in September and we have been very impressed with everything about Little Green Rascals. We were invited in for a thorough pre meeting where we met staff and asked questions, safeguarding was high on the agenda which reassured us greatly. We were invited in on a Saturday
to a special picnic where we could meet other parents and children could play together I was given a song book to sing songs at home that they sing at nursery. There is a weekly email for parents with nursery and community events coming up including Forest School days. We love his Key Worker, he is happy to see her every week. The comments she writes in his progress book help us too - especially when it comes to weaning; we didn't know he loved Oranges! The food always looks fab and the organic promise is taken seriously. Parents are encouraged to carry on the organic ethos at home by using organic veg box suppliers but it's not pushy. Our baby loves playing the black and white corner and snoozing in the sleep room. At first I thought parking might be an issue but it is fine - other parents are polite and I think having the parking attendant out in the car park on a morning is helpful. We have already recommended the nursery to our friends. Compared to other nurseries we look around Little Green Rascals was clean and professional.

My little girl started at the nursery last month and is loving it. She settled in right away. She has a diary which is filled out everyday so that we can read about what she has been up to. Every week there are new activities for her to get involved in. The staff all recognised us when we turned up
from the start (which is quite impressive as she only attends two afternoons a week) and are all really caring and professional. The food menu is great and recipes are forwarded to us so we can try them out at home. I was apprehensive at the thought of leaving her at nursery when I went back to work but I have full confidence and couldn't be happier with LGR.

Our daughter loves coming to this nursery. The staff are extremely approachable and always give feed back at the end of the day to parents. It is a very busy nursery with lots of stimulating activities on offer for the children to interact with. The great emphasis on the outdoors and the wonderful food
is a real plus! We would recommend this nursery to other parents and carers.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I found it very hard starting back to work to work with other children and leaving someone else to take care of mine, but Little Green Rascals has worked hard to ensure it has been a positive experience and smooth journey. My child has benefited hugely from the key worker system and they have bonded
with many of the lovely staff, everyone seems genuinely pleased to see them in the morning. If upset when I leave they always phone me later to let me know how they are doing. The food is excellent and they will cater without any fuss or trouble to your little ones needs. They encourage parents to get involved with the nursery, finding out what your child has been up to and keep a lovely record of their journey! They do so many activities and you can see they learn so much. Being outdoors is really encouraged and they have lots of animals too... Hopefully we're going to be taking hamster home on holiday one weekend!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My little boy has been at Little Green Rascals for about 9 months and he loves it here. He eats far better than I do, the rooms are imaginatively decorated and well equipped, the staff are friendly and caring, and for a nursery in a city, the outdoor space is fabulous. Overall I am very pleased with
the standard of care and would happily recommend this nursery to other parents.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son really enjoys the time he spends at Little Green Rascals, and has made some great friends there. My son has a number of food allergies and the staff have been fantastic in ensuring he still has healthy but safe meals. The food is brilliant and we regularly cook some of the recipes from the Little
Green Rascal's chef, which are emailed to parents each week.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
After looking around in few nurseries we walk into Little Green Rascals, me and my husband fell in love with the place. Very clean and a gorgeous environment for the little ones to have fun as they learn. My little one started in the 'Wiggly Worm' room and she was well loved and cared by the staff in
a superb and professional manner. After a year she was ready to move on to the next room. The staff are great and I know my girl is happy and enjoys her days at the Little Green Rascals. We love the outside space the nursery has and the animals so children can get involved. Will recommend it to anyone but I will advise to always go and look around to get the feeling.

Little Green Rascals is a fabulous nursery. Our daughter started nursery when she was 11 months old and is incredibly happy there. The staff are all fantastic and so caring, always taking the time to get to know your child and ensuring that their early learning experiences are fun and rewarding. The
outside space is wonderful and enhanced by the commitment to forest schools. There are parent forums on a regular basis where you can offer support or raise any issues. We couldn't be happier with the nursery and the knowledge that our daughter is in a very safe and caring environment.

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.
