I can not recommend Little Rascals pre-prep enough. The manager and the team are friendly, happy and approachable with any enquiries you may have, and quick to answer them. The way they have handled covid has been incredibly reassuring. My daughter comes away from nursery happy, full of stories and exhausted from such a fun day! Thank you for making the process easy and stress-free for me to return to work knowing my child is safe with you.
Thank you for your kind review, it is fantastic to hear how much your daughter enjoys nursery with us.
My daughter absolutely loves going to this nursery. Staff are fantastic and are always helpful with anything you need to know. Best nursery in the area, will not hesitate to send my youngest in the future.
Thank you for your kind review, it is delightful to hear your positive words.
On the occasions I’ve picked up my granddaughter, I have found the staff to be extremely friendly and helpful. My granddaughter loves it here, and is always kept entertained by the various activities. Would highly recommend this childcare setting.

Thank you for your kind review, it is great to hear how much your daughter is enjoying nursery with us, especially the fantastic activates we have.
We are very pleased with the decision we made to send our son to Little Rascals Pre-Prep, and I would always recommend it to anyone looking for a nursery for their child. The management and staff have always been extremely friendly, kind, caring and supportive, always greeting us with a smile. It feels like you are leaving your child with family and we always enjoy to hear the fun stories of the day from our son when he gets home! Our son has developed a lot in the time he has been with Little Rascals, and we have no doubts that a big part of that is the care and attention he is given by the staff and the fun but educational activities they conduct. It is always helpful to hear their informative feedback on our son at the end of the day. From a personal perspective, working in the City, the location of Little Rascals Pre-Prep being so close to the train station is fantastic. Thank you to all the staff and management for taking such great care of our son!
Thank you for your kind review, we are delighted to hear how much your son enjoys pre prep and has developed so well.
Really happy with Little Rascals. Lovely environment and wonderful staff who are all kind, caring and friendly. Great outdoor space, the children go out in the garden every day. Good food menu too. Lots to do there - all the rooms are well set up for play, and there's always lots of fun activities for them too!
Thank you for your kind review, we are delighted to hear how much your child enjoys time with us, especially with our great outdoor space and nutritional food we offer.
Little Rascals is amazing! The staff are caring, warming and nurturing - it really does have a family feel. They have good facilities and outdoor space - the children are out in the garden regularly which is great to see. My daughter was very happy at Little Rascals - having fun, making friends and very fond of the staff. Little Rascals' activities always seem fun and imaginative, their transition to school also really helped boost my daughter's confidence for school. My son also attends and every time I pick him up, he doesn't want to leave which says it all really. Would highly recommend Little Rascals nursery and pre-prep.
Thank you for your lovely review, we are delighted to hear how much your children have enjoyed their time with us, especially with our outdoor space.
We are so happy our son is attending Little Rascals Pre- Prep. The team is absolutely lovely and so warm. Our son enjoys going into nursery and he's always so happy and proud every time we pick him up. Thank you to all the team for creating such a wonderful environment for our son to learn and develop with so much fun!!
Thank you for your kind review, we are delighted to hear how your son has developed and enjoys his time with us.
What an incredible start my grandson has had as he begins his exciting, educational journey. From the moment my son-in-law and I were welcomed by the nursery manager we knew that Little Rascals was the right place for him. Wonderful facilities, interesting and relevant activities with an ordered and happy atmosphere learning was always going to be fun. Add to that caring, patient professional staff and you have it all! I can not recommend Little Rascals highly enough.
Thank you for your amazing review. We are delighted to hear how much your grandson enjoys nursery and we have made it a warm and welcoming environment for you and your family.
Amazing place and amazing people. Our daughter has never been in the care of anyone who wasn’t a legend! All of the amazing staff have had a positive impact on her development and her character - cannot recommend Little Rascals Pre-Prep enough.
Thank you for your fantastic review; we are thrilled to hear how much your daughter has enjoyed her time and developed with us.
Our twins attended Little Rascals over the past year (with Covid in between) and it’s been wonderful. Beautiful building, excellent clean facilities and key workers and management who seem to live their job and kids. And most importantly, we always had two very happy little boys after their sessions. We are sad to leave now that school is starting. Thank you to all, it’s been great.
Thank you for your lovely review, it is great to hear how much your twins have enjoyed their time with us.
My daughter has been with Little Rascals since she was a 6-month-old baby through to leaving to start school. I have been absolutely delighted with the care that she has received. The team are so kind and caring and make the effort to really understand your child's likes and dislikes, names of siblings, pets etc and really engage with the children on their level. The activities and space are fantastic, and my daughter had so much fun playing, getting messy, baking, being creative as well as learning whilst playing. The location is fantastic for commuting and space inside and out is great; light airy rooms which flow and exciting outdoor space. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Little Rascals.
Thank you for your fantastic review, we are delighted to hear how much your daughter has enjoyed her time with us and best of luck at school!
My daughter loves going to Little Rascals - since returning after the few months of closure for Covid-19 she is so happy and excited to go in each day, and wants to go in every day of the week! She is learning so much and the staff are obviously so supportive of each child and what they need. My daughter has been attending the nursery and preschool since she was 1, and she is just about to leave to go to school. They have been so encouraging of the children who are moving on next month - she is very much looking forward to going to school and I know a great deal of that is because of the support of Little Rascals. The buildings and gardens are always laid out so invitingly, with new exciting things for the children to do and explore, and always kept very clean!
Thank you for your wonderful review. We are delighted to hear how much your daughter enjoyed her time with us and enjoyed our great garden and layout. We wish her the best of luck at school.
My daughter has been at Little Rascals for just under a year and absolutely loves going in!! The staff are wonderful and treat her like their own. It’s a lovely environment for the children, great facilities and lots of fun activities, she has come on leaps and bounds! I couldn’t have asked for a better first experience of a nursery!
Thank you for your wonderful review. We are thrilled to hear how much your daughter is enjoying her time with us, especially with the great range of facilities and fun activities we have.
Every day I picked them up, they didn’t want to leave! That says it all.
I have nothing negative to say. Amazing nursery teachers, good food menu and great resources and toys in the rooms.
Would highly recommend!
My son has just left Little Rascals Pre-Prep as he is starting school next month. He joined the Little Rascals Nursery at 11-months-old. He has had many wonderful experiences at Little Rascals and he is leaving a confident, inquisitive, kind and happy little boy. We feel that Little Rascals has prepared him well for school. He has developed many social skills as well as made good progress in both maths and literacy. Throughout his time at Little Rascals we as a family have felt supported by the wonderful staff, both our son’s keyworker and the managers. They have shown us real kindness when our family has faced challenging times. Little Rascals has provided our son with a nurturing and happy environment and he has clearly benefited from his time there. I was particularly impressed when the staff specifically prepared activities based on my son’s interests. I would definitely recommend Little Rascals to any parent. Our baby is due to start in the nursery next year when I return to work.
I picked up my grandson today for the first time since his return after COVID and I was so impressed with how well organised it was, there was a few people waiting outside but nobody has to wait very long and still got a very detailed handover! It's so lovely for him to be at a place he loves so much.
Thank you for your lovely review. We are delighted how much your grandson enjoys nursery.
Will be very sad to see him leave Little Rascals.
Thank you to all the lovely staff
Thank you for your kind review. We are delighted to hear how much your has enjoyed his time with us and has developed well for school!
The pre-school team is incredibly supportive and the activities the children do each day are themed, imaginative, fun and educational. They have an excellent reputation for preparing children very well for school. Their response to the Coronavirus situation was superb, excellent communication and flexible approach. I cannot rate this Nursery highly enough and we leave with very fond memories.
Thank you for your wonderful review. We are thrilled to hear how much you and your children have enjoyed your time with us.
As a parent, the experience with Little Rascals could not have been any better. An absolutely wonderful environment for the children and an almost family-like feel with the staff. Great facilities and lots of learning as well as fun activities. My son loves his time there and I will be sad to leave this chapter of his life behind.
What a lovely journey we, as a family, have had with Little Rascals Nursery and Pre-Prep.
Thank you for your kind review. We are delighted to hear how much your son has enjoyed his time with us and best of luck at school!
