I’ve been very happy with my daughter’s experience at Little Rascals to date. The staff are all very friendly and helpful and have formed a good bond with my little girl (particularly her key worker). I’ve been impressed with the parental progress reviews that we’ve had each term and the development monitoring and related progress sheets. My daughter does a wide variety of activities and we get some lovely pictures and cards which come home from time to time. The car park in front of the nursery building is also very useful if you ever need to drop off or pick up by car (unusual in town).
Thank you for your lovely review. We're so pleased to hear how happy you are with your daughter's experience at Little Rascals.
We love Little Rascals Nursery. There was a great settling in process which meant our 10-month-old daughter had no problems starting there. We like the daily report we get every day about what she's eaten and how she's slept. The staff are all lovely and friendly. It's been a really stress-free start to starting our daughter at nursery and we would highly recommend it to other parents.
Thank you so much for your lovely review and kind comments. We're delighted to hear how well your daughter has settled in and that this was a good experience for you too.
My daughter and son have both attended Little Rascals. My son has just moved up from toddler room to younger pre-school and the transition has gone very well. He has attended since he was about 9 months and I could not recommend it enough. He has grown so much in confidence and the teachers are amazing. They have created such a creative, stimulating, nurturing environment and he is always so excited to tell me about his day. I feel so comfortable leaving him with teachers that really care for the children and love their jobs!
Thank you so much for your amazing review. We are so pleased to hear how happy your son is at nursery and how pleased you are with his progress!
The facilities are great, with a vast range of toys and fab garden area that they use come rain or shine. All the carers do really care and our daughter built up such a strong bond with her key person and would be excited to go in and see her and tell her about her weekend.
The games and crafts are so imaginative and Little Rascals is constantly thinking of new ways to entertain and teach the children through different forms of play. Our daughter has learnt so much from Little Rascals and I would wholeheartedly recommend it to any parents looking for a nursery in Tunbridge Wells.
Thank you so much for your amazing review! It's so lovely to hear how happy your daughter has been with us.
I would definitely recommend Little Rascals nursery. It is hard to hand your child over to a nursery for the first time, but it helps that the staff really care about each child. We will really miss everyone when our son moves to the preschool building. The support for the transition has been great and we are glad we are getting a warm welcome in the preschool building too.
Thank you so much for your kind review. It's so lovely to hear how happy your daughter and son have been at our Nursery. We will miss you all too.
Two of our children have now attended Little Rascals and it is an excellent setting. We love the weekly and termly themes that they apply, as we can support the learning at home. Our 3-year-old came home one time and told us that he understood photosynthesis and promptly explained it to us! Another time he was so inspired by the Greek Mythology theme and the Medusa hat he'd made, that we had to go to the library to find more books on Greek Mythology so we could read about it at home. This love of learning and encouraging curiosity is a real strength of Little Rascals and we would highly recommend it to anyone considering sending their child there.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review. The staff team were absolutely thrilled to read it and hear that your children gained so much from their time with us.
Both my sons attended Little Rascals, moving from the nursery building to the preschool building as they grew up. The nursery and preschool are run and organised very well. My children were happy and settled, developed a lovely relationship with their key workers and were always excited to tell me what they had been doing during the day (which was always lots and well varied). I always received a detailed handover upon collection and was kept up to date via the weekly news about events, celebrations, policy and staffing. I found the staff to be very approachable in all aspects and they really seemed to care about the little ones, going the extra mile to meet any needs of the children and parents. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Little Rascals to other parents.
Thank you very much for your lovely review. We are so pleased to hear how happy your children were at our Nursery and that you were so pleased with the time your children spent with us.
My daughter loves Little Rascals and she has really grown and blossomed since attending.
She is really looking forward to moving up to preschool.
Thank you so much for your lovely review! The staff team were thrilled to hear how much your daughter enjoys attending.
Our son has now spent 6 months at Little Rascals and we are extremely impressed with the level of care and service provided. Our son actively is excited by going to Nursery and has shown real development in language. He chats happily about the staff he spends time with and also tells us about the interesting, and often themed, activities he is part of. Would very much recommend.
Very friendly staff and my child always seems happy to be dropped off. Never find him upset at the end of the day - always happy and very tired!
Cannot recommend this nursery highly enough! My second child is now at Little Rascals after my daughter had 4 extremely happy years there. My little boy is now thriving, and after 6 months at the nursery, his development has been huge. He has grown in confidence, made friends and learnt so many things. Above all, I know he is happy and nurtured with extremely caring and supportive staff. It is a family environment and I am so pleased both my children have had the opportunity to be part of it.
The activities that are put on for the children are fantastic and wide ranging and not the sort of things you’d normally do at home. My daughter loved her 2 years at Little Rascals and has grown in confidence as a result.
We were very pleased to see that our baby settled in quickly and never cried (age 13 months and not used to leaving me).
We love all the activities, a lot of outdoors and the fact that two of the teachers speak Italian. Our child loves the food, in spite of being very fussy at home.
We love that (unlike another nursery who has a policy of not picking up children when crying) Little Rascals staff give plenty of cuddles.
The staff manager, according to her staff, really cares about them (and, visibly, about the children).
My work paid some days at another nursery as a work benefit recently but our child did not settle in and became very tearful and clingy for days after. This has never happened in Little Rascals, further proof that we are in the right place.
Other places are run like money making machines. Not Little Rascals.
Also, the recent refurbishments and garden improvement are a nice plus!
Everyone at Little Rascals is always so happy and welcoming and I know my grandson has lots of fun when he is there.
He is always learning new things and being encouraged to develop on things he already knows. The staff are exceptional and even when my son is having an off day I have no doubt they will do everything they can to ensure he is still getting the most of his day and enjoying himself.
Having seen the recent refurbishment of Little Rascals Pre School, I can't wait to see the planned improvements at the nursery.
I’m always greeted by a happy smiley face, sometimes my son gets distressed at drop off and we have lots of tears but it’s made so much easier by the warm welcome from the team.
I have no doubts or worries when I drop him off and am appreciative of the low staff turnover. The staff are so positive - they always greet him happily when we arrive and he is excited to see them. I do hope the staff are appropriately rewarded as it is to them we as parents owe so much.
Now she absolutely loves it, our family all love the team - it feels like a little family. The manager's are supportive with any queries and the work the key worker put into her report was outstanding, it was like a lovely memory book of her time which we'll keep forever.
I'm actually dreading the day it's time for her to move on. Wonderful team behind it and high recommend it.
Not only do I know my children are safe and looked after but I also know - and trust - that the staff here all care about the individual characters of my one and three year old - openly enjoying their sense of humour, cheekiness and development.
I trust I will be told if there is a concern just as much as I trust they will follow teaching plans, my own specific instructions and those of the child (as they get more and more bossy!)
The staff and management of the nursery couldn't be more helpful with additional days, changes to details or questions about funding.
Most importantly though, when I ask my daughter, she tells me they love going to preschool. And I have tears from my son when I pick him up!
