Review from M C (Father of Child) published on 9 March 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
LGR is our first experience with day nurseries. We were recommended them by a member of their maintenance staff and we liked the description of their commitment to high standards, their 'forest school' outdoor spaces and their general ethos.
The staff all seem very friendly and keep you very well informed of what is going on with your rascal throughout the day, by sending pictures and messages through the app.
The food menu is very good quality and made fresh on-site, posted on the app the day before so you always know what your rascal will be having.

There are cheaper nurseries around, but who wants to send their kids to a cut price nursery?

The team are great people who are so attentive and do so many fun activities with the children. Regular updates via the app are so reassuring to parents and the communication is excellent. Conversations with other parents suggest a similar experience.

Very happy that we chose Little Green Rascals for our little one. Staff are amazing, very caring with our son and always updates us on how he is getting on each day. We get daily updates so we can see how much he has eaten, slept etc.

Our little one is also happy and enjoying his time in the nursery. Thank you for your hard work and for making sure our son is happy, safe, enjoys his time there and gets the skills he needs!

Absolutely incredible setting. My child absolutely loves going and has come along so much already even though he has only been attending a month. All of the staff have been incredible and have helped him settle in so well. The menu is incredible and enough to make me jealous.

Overall Experience

Having moved our daughter from another nursery we could not be more delighted with Little Green Rascals. The care and attention to detail was evident on my first visit. I love the fact that naps are one of the priorities across all ages, the menu is amazing and updates through the family app are made regularly. My daughter loves her key carer and has been thriving in her new setting, enjoying lots of learning, playing and adventures. The gorgeous location right opposite the Minster is an added bonus.

The nursery staff are so lovely and really get to know your kid. They are fun and always get them outside. The food sounds great. They do trips out and are about to open a forest school. They are creative with the range of activities. Our kid loves it!

Overall Experience

My son has been going to Little Green Rascals Minster for three months now and he really changed and developed, not only because he simply grows, but really in his way to be around other children and the things he does and got from his days in Little Green Rascals definitely. And most important for any parent, he loves going he is always excited to start his day because he knows he will have fun. Thanks, Little Green Rascals team. And also thanks for the frequent communication to parents through the app, it's precious for us when we are at work!

My son has been at the nursery since July 2022. The Nursery Practitioners in the Dancing Dragonflies room are professional, caring and experienced. They go above and beyond to make sure the children are well looked after and have fun.

Review from Samantha P (Mother of Child) published on 16 November 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

What can I say except this is the most wonderful nursery! We'd had a bad experience at another place prior to here and what a difference it made when we made the move. Our daughter is absolutely thriving and we have such peace of mind that the care and attention she's getting is second to none. The staff are all amazing, they really make the effort to get to you know you as a family and you can see they really care about what they do, they've always got big smiles on their faces and my daughter is in love with her key worker and her team. They always keep you up to date with all the fun things they are getting up to and I'm always jealous of the tasty menu - my daughter eats much better than I do! There is lots of outdoor time as well as a relaxing sleep room - I call it a 'the spa' for babies because that's how it feels. I couldn't be happier here and I wouldn't hesitate recommending to any parent looking for a fantastic environment for their little ones.

Overall Experience

Our daughter loves it here. The staff are excellent and create a lovely atmosphere for the kids. We love that the kids get taken outdoors wherever possible and there is always a new activity for them to enjoy.

I can't comment on ICT facilities as our daughter is too young for that. However the app we use is great and we get regular updates which we really appreciate.

Overall Experience

Our daughter started before she even turned six months and I was so nervous beforehand. The staff at Little Green Rascals couldn't be looking after her any better. She seems to love every minute and has formed an evidently close bond with her key person, who has been caring and attentive with her and helpful and reassuring with us, as first-time parents. So glad we chose Little Green Rascals!

Review from Rachel L (Mother of Child) published on 25 October 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter started at 6 months old and she is now 9 months old. I was a little wary about starting so young, sharing the weening responsibilities with the nursery and generally how she would be cared for. It has been the best thing for both her and us as parents! We have felt that she is so well looked after and 'known' by the team, and her key person, has kept us informed well of how she's done each day. It's not the cheapest for sure, but my priority was her care, nutrition, proximity to our house and the city centre. It's been a real benefit having the support of nursery as first time parents - we've learned a lot and felt supported in a way I didn't expect. Thank you guys!

We have been very impressed by the personal connection the key workers have made with our child. We can see the benefits in our child’s development and are also benefiting from advice, recommended reading and moral support which, as first time parents, is proving invaluable.

Overall Experience

Our baby joined the Wiggly Worms group at Little Green Rascals Organic Day Nursery two months ago and has loved it from day one. There are so many activities for them to choose from - ours is particularly fond of the sand pit and water play. In this short time, they’ve also been on a few adventures to local parks. The staff here are brilliant - both kind, welcoming, patient, understanding and helpful to parents and children alike. They’ve dealt with our baby's allergies really well and made us feel reassured that she’s in safe hands. Would absolutely recommend this nursery.

Review from Susan B (Grandmother of Child) published on 17 August 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I’ve been involved with several nurseries over the years, as a mother then a granny. This one has impressed me more than any. The staff are sensitive, imaginative, attentive and truly caring. The facilities are good and well-used. The children love the food, the company, and the good balance between a reliable routine and a frankly astonishing range of activities. They learn so much here, and I have genuine faith in the staff.

Overall Experience

I cannot thank the guys enough at Little Green Rascals 7 Minster Yard. They look after my little girl two days a week and the excitement my daughter has when arriving at the nursery, running in for breakfast, blowing kisses and waving at everyone shows just how much she enjoys it there. The updates we receive are fantastic; we get to see what the room gets up to on a weekly basis and the development I see in my little girl is wonderful. Nothing is too much trouble; my daughter has allergies and the care and attention that is taken is superb. All the team are super friendly and there is no other nursery I would even think about recommending. Little Green Rascals all the way. Thank you all so much.

Little Green Rascal is the best nursery in York. They provide so much support and care to families and children under their care.

We’ll be so sad to say goodbyes when my little one leaves for school this August. We’ll miss being there.

I cannot thank enough for all their supports
