Overall Experience

I can't recommend this nursery enough, since my child started at this nursery they've thrived in so many ways and it's all down to the nursery and the care that the staff give to each child. My child loves attending nursery and it's all down to the staff and the environment that they have for them to play in, the best nursery in York and would recommend to anyone!

Overall Experience
Our experience of LGR has been extremely positive, I'm very proud of both our sons, their confidence, education and ability to socialise. None of this would have been possible without attending LGR. I have total trust in the nursery to nurture confidence and kindness in our children because these abilities are so often displayed by the amazing staff. Thank you all!

Lewis and Megan.

Our son has recently started at LGR in Bishopthorpe in the Wiggly Worms room. We are so pleased with choosing this nursery and are thrilled with how settled he is. The staff are all amazing, and Stella, our son's key worker, has been brilliant in helping our son settle - he has a lovely bond with her. We cannot recommend the nursery highly enough and would recommend to anyone looking.

Review from S A (Father of Child) published on 19 February 2026 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Our son started nursery in the wiggly worms at the start of the year and has absolutely loved his time at LGR. He made some loving bonds with staff and he is always happy to see everyone. Having now graduated to Dancing Dragonflies he is forming similar bonds and showing really good development and social skills. We are very happy with LGR and would definitely recommend it to parents.
