There is plenty of space, and the different rooms with different focuses mean they are stimulated and happy, in addition to the outdoor space they have in the wonderful sunshine.
The food is creative and nutritious, and my son eats all of it!
This review is for June 2020, clearly a difficult few months due to the pandemic, but they have stayed in constant communication, provided us with learning resources whilst the nursery was in lockdown, and take home entertainment packs, and made the environment safe and comforting for when our children returned. It is a top star nursery.
Thank you for your wonderful review. We are so pleased to hear how your children are enjoying their time with us and have developed well in preparation for school.
I would highly recommend the Little Rascals Pre-Prep to anyone who needs it. My child is really happy going there. The staff is very kind, helpful, supportive, always being happy and smiling. They always pay attention to every detail. Activity is different every week. Food is prepared daily and it is according to the needs of the children. Facilities, equipment and learning are at a very high level.
Thank you for your wonderful review. It is fantastic to hear how your child is benefiting from our range of activities and meals we provide.
We have just moved down from London and I was quite nervous about settling my daughter into a new pre-school. From day one, everyone at Little Rascals has been so welcoming and friendly and my daughter is really happy there and already making new friends. I couldn't recommend Little Rascals more to anyone who is considering sending their child there.
Thank you for your kind review. We are so pleased to hear how your daughter is enjoying her time with us and has settled in .
The nursery fosters a really magical environment for my daughter to explore, learn and make friends. She’s so happy here and as a parent, I have total peace of mind she is receiving the best care to support her early learning development. What makes this place truly special, however, is the staff. What a great team.
Thank you for your brilliant review. We are so pleased to hear how your daughter enjoys the nursery.
In addition to the above comments, I need to mention that upon return from the lockdown period during the Covid-19 health crisis, the team at Little Rascals were brilliant with their communication and their confidence in welcoming the children back, taking away a huge element of worry at this anxious time and projecting nothing but confidence and comfort and a great big welcome back!
Thank you for your wonderful review. We are so pleased to hear how you have benefited from the strong communication we have in place.
Such a fabulous nursery, the staff are fantastic, giving great care and attention to the children and the food is healthy and nutritious - they’ve introduced our little girl to foods she would never have eaten at home! The nursery is great at celebrating all different cultures and religions (we are not religious but want our daughter to have this knowledge and understanding). Highly recommend the nursery and staff!
Thank you for your great review. We are so pleased to hear how your daughter is enjoying nursery, especially our diversity and culture we teach.
I can not recommend Little Rascals enough. Both of my children have been there and it has been like a home from home for both of them. The care is outstanding, the staff are kind and nurturing and go out of their way to do everything they can for everyone. Both my children have been so so happy there and I will be so sad when my son leaves to go to school. The children learn so much there, make lovely friends and are so well looked after. I would recommend to everyone.
Thank you for your kind review. We are so pleased to hear how your children have enjoyed their time here.
Thanks.
Thank you for your kind review, we are so pleased to hear how your son is enjoying nursery.
Of all the things to ask someone to do, and do well, looking after your child must be one of the most important. If I had my time again I would choose Little Rascals in Tunbridge Wells for my two children over and over. I would recommend Little Rascals to anyone. I am thrilled that my son goes there, and sad that my daughter had to leave for school. This place grows children in the most caring, sensitive, fun and very much loving way possible. On days that my son is sad to be left he runs into the arms of the staff for cuddles. The place is managed with professionalism while treating each child and family personally. We can't thank Little Rascals staff enough for looking after our children so well - the child is the centre of their every action.
Thank you for your amazing review. We are so delighted to hear how much your children have enjoyed time at the nursery and how your son has such a wonderful bond with the staff.
Fantastic nursery with amazing staff. My child has such a wonderful time here. Can't recommend them highly enough!

Thank you for your fantastic review. We are thrilled to hear how well your son is developing with us already, and how much he enjoys attending.
The new pre-prep set up has been well thought out and my daughter is thriving under their care and attention. I always love to hear about the fun activities they get up to and the play tables look very inviting and inspiring for the little ones. I also enjoy seeing the examples of their creations and the front steps and porch are very welcoming with their interactive displays. A lot of love and attention goes into running the nursery.

Whenever I come to collect my brother I am always made to feel so welcome both by the manager and the room staff, it is always such a lovely atmosphere. The new resources have had such a positive impact on his learning, he couldn't ask for more.
