Overall Experience

My son has been up in older pre-prep for just over a year and he comes home so excited each day to tell us about all the things he’s been up to. We are so happy with his time at Little Rascals and couldn’t fault them in any way!

The pre-school setting and staff are what sets Little Rascals apart from others in the area. We moved our kids to Little Rascals and it was the best decision! Our kids have grown in confidence and learned so much from the wonderful and caring staff.

Outstanding! My son is leaving Little Rascals in September to start primary school! We couldn’t have asked for a better nursery and Pre-Prep for him to attend!
I'm amazed at how well the team have handled returning after coronavirus and we felt completely at ease coming back in June and the communication between parents and the Pre- Prep was amazing!

Pre-Prep have helped my son so much on his school readiness and offer so many exceptional activities! We will miss you all!

Little Rascals has been the nursery for both my grandchildren. Both little ones have thoroughly enjoyed their time there. The learning experience is outstanding, and the staff have always been amazing, taking care of both children like their own. I would completely recommend this nursery. It is amazing. Thank you all for everything.

Review from Jodie (Mother of Child) published on 23 July 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My Daughter has been attending Little Rascals since she was 2 and I can’t recommend the nursery and Pre Prep enough. The staff are so friendly and warming and I know when I drop my child off she is in the best possible care. They keep me well informed of all the information I need and my daughter loves going and adores everyone there. Since she has been at the Pre Prep she has come on leaps and bounds with her phonics and the age-appropriate learning is done in a fun and creative way. She really looks forward to going and we will miss it when she starts school in September but what great memories she will have to take away with her!

Overall Experience

A wonderful nursery where my daughter has developed wonderfully. She has been with Little Rascals since she was 2, and has really enjoyed her time there. The entire team in both locations have been amazing in supporting her learning and I'm very happy with her progress. Even with the lockdown interruption, I am confident that she is ready for the step up to Primary school, and that is all thanks to everyone's efforts at Little Rascals. She (and I) will miss it, I'm sure!

Our son has been attending Little Rascals since he turned three. He very much enjoys taking part in the activities, learning new things and playing with his friends here. He has developed both academically and socially during his time at Little Rascals and has formed close relationships with both teachers and children that he will remember forever. Thank you.

Review from Rebecca S (Mother of Child) published on 17 July 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter has attended Little Rascals for 4 years and I couldn’t wish for better care for her. She can’t wait to get there of a morning and the staff have become like family to her and also to us.
She has thrived at Little Rascals and they have helped enormously with her development and confidence.

She starts school this September and although she is ready for this new chapter, part of me would like her to stay at Little Rascals forever.

Review from Al S (Father of Child) published on 17 July 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
If Little Rascals did GCSEs and A-levels, that'd be the kids' education sorted. I don't want the kids to leave. They don't want to leave. Enough said!
1,000 characters really isn't enough to even begin to explain how much my wife and I love this place and the people in it. The dedication, love and attention they've shown our kids at such an important stage in their little lives is nothing short of incredible. Their patience, creativity and one-on-one involvement seems to know no bounds. And if anyone should take the credit for our two being such happy, bouncy nut jobs, it's Little Rascals (not us).

To everyone who's looked after our children over the past 4 years, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We'll miss you.

Review from Anne H (Nanny/Carer of Child) published on 9 July 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
This nursery has a home from home atmosphere with loving, caring staff. They cover all aspects of the curriculum with a fun attitude to learning.

The facilities and range of equipment to enhance a diverse learning experience are excellent. The food is superb, and every dietary requirement is catered for. Children are encouraged to be independent but also, to form friendships to be caring towards others and to share.

Overall Experience

My eldest has been at Little Rascals since starting at the nursery just before he was 1 and the entire team have been great throughout. All the staff go above and beyond to help the children (and us parents!) feel comfortable and happy from drop off to pick up and everything in between. He is off to school in September and it’s going to be really sad to say goodbye!

Review from Chris M (Father of Child) published on 29 June 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We enrolled both our children (then aged 2 and 4) into Little Rascals Nursery and Pre-school when we moved to Tunbridge Wells in September 2018.
We had moved them from a nursery in London that we had been extremely happy with, but Little Rascals still managed to exceed our expectations.

The level of care, stimulation and education provided by the staff there is exceptional. The environment and food are excellent and, most importantly, the kids love it there.

Review from Catharine C (Mother of Child) published on 29 June 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My little girl has been at Little Rascals Pre-Prep since August 2019. She has absolutely flourished under the attentive care of the wonderful staff in both younger and older Pre-Prep. I feel all the staff have made meaningful relationships with our daughter, finding common ground with her and really making sure she is well cared for every single day she is there. We have been especially lucky with her key people who we have really bonded with and give amazing feedback at the end of the day so I really get an insight into her day. Now, the Pre-Prep is managed by an amazing duo. They are more than just a little bit special. They are both so hands-on with the running of Little Rascals, involved with the children, caring, on hand to answer any questions and have helped my family enormously. I cannot more highly recommend Little Rascals.
