Review from L D (Mother of Child) published on 17 March 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son (just turned 1) have started at Little Raccoons for 2 weeks now and he seemed to be having a great time there and settled right in from the beginning and already seemed to have made some friends. The staff are great and always informative about what's happened in the day and how he was during
the day. They were also very supportive on our needs and always accommodate where possible. Their app is also a great way for me to keep track of what's he up to during the day and what/ when he had his meals and easier for me to communicate with the nursery when needed.
The manager there is super helpful and whenever I have a question it's always answered promptly and nothing is ever too much to ask.
I'm sure he will progress well and definitely well looked after. I'm already looking forward to all the progress he makes while at Little Raccoons.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our son has been with Little Raccoons Day Nursery for 1.5 years and every day he runs in, happy to be there, and every day he's excited to come home and tell us what he's been doing (and eating)! He's developed so well in the time that he's been at the nursery, and I attribute that to the wonderful
staff, who are always finding creative ways to engage the children and teach them about life. We've seen so many improvements to the nursery over the last year and a half. The staff turnover has decreased dramatically, and everyone there is friendly, kind and communicative and really seems to care about our son. We feel our child is safe and well looked after, and we love getting daily updates on what the children are doing.

Our daughter is going to the nursery almost two years and she absolutely loves it. The staff are friendly and professional providing the right balance of education and fun time. Our daughter is excited to go every morning and keen to see her friends. She always gives a hug to her carer in the morning.

Review from Chris S (Father of Child) published on 8 May 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our daughter is super happy at Little Racoons, has been going for well over a year and continues to strive. The staff are all warm, happy, friendly, and treat the kids with such love. The children are given the freedom to be kids - to explore and imagine, whilst being guided through the subjects and
activities the staff set out. They take time to treat the needs of each individual as well as the group as a whole.
We didn’t like the corporate feel that other nurseries we visited had, and Little Racoons has a family feel we were attracted to. It’s a lovely size both in terms of the building and number of children, with a great garden - outdoor space was a non-negotiable when choosing a nursery for us. The manager and staff work hard to continually improve, and listen to feedback, and we feel they have our interests as parents at heart.

We are happy with the management of the nursery by a particular member of staff. There are constant updates on children’s activities and regular communication including plans for the coming month and week.
I feel the staff knows my daughter well and she feels comfortable with them. She also learns
effectively.
There have been continuous improvements and new items to the garden area.

I have been with Little Raccoons for the past 4 years, and my experience has been nothing but excellent. Both of my sons attended the nursery and loved going there.
The nursery manager and the staff are absolutely amazing!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Little Raccoons Day Nursery Holloway is a true blessing for our family. Our son has thrived there for almost a year. He comes home daily with a huge smile, a testament to their nurturing and joyful environment. What sets Little Raccoons apart is their excellent communication. Regular updates, complete
with delightful photos, connect us to his daily adventures. We're closer to his learning journey. The nursery's dedication to our child's growth and development is commendable. Skilled staff and individualised plans give us confidence. Safety is paramount, and they ensure a secure environment with stringent safety measures and vigilant supervision. We appreciate the nursery's commitment to providing healthy, diverse, and nutritious meals. It's a relief to know he's well-fed. The top-notch facilities offer clean, secure, and creative spaces for exploration and play. It's a haven for learning. In summary, it's a remarkable choice for a nurturing, safe, and education-focused environment.

This is a lovely nursery, the staff are always very affectionate towards my son and he is to them too. There is an outside space, rare I suspect for this part of London, with an outdoor kitchen and a little bridge amongst other activities. We get photos showing the fun he has painting, dressing up,
reading and playing with the other children. He enjoys it there and is learning lots too.

My daughter has been going to Little Raccoons Day Nursery Holloway since September 2020. This is the first nursery my daughter has attended and even though she started during a pandemic, the support from the staff was amazing and has continued to be that way. She adores all the staff and cannot wait
to go in each morning. We get updates on food, toilets and also lovely pictures of what she has been doing, which she also loves to look at and she tells me all about her friends. She is three and a half now and is learning so much academically but also socially. She comes home each day with something else she has learnt. I would highly recommend this nursery, both my daughter and I have continued to have a great experience with the staff and the setting.

Review from S C (Mother of Child) published on 16 April 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I haven't used this nursery for long, but what I have experienced is very positive and worth mentioning. I have an eleven-month-old baby, and with Covid-19, it has been difficult to know what childcare option to go for. Compared to other nurseries I investigated, this had a smaller quota of babies,
which I wanted, given the issues of being in contact with others. The nursery uses a portal you log into, so you know what and when your baby eats, nappy changes and sleep times. They also post photos of activities. This is useful for me as I write stuff down anyway, so I have a record of my babies sleeping and eating. The staff at the nursery have been very nice, approachable and open. Upon first speaking to the nursery, the manager was very open and receptive and not pushy, which is important as a parent who is investigating options. I would recommend this nursery.

My daughter has been at Little Raccoons Day Nursery Holloway for over a year. We are extremely pleased with the care she is given by all the staff there. We have regular updates on her targets and progress via reports and their online portal. She has made lots of friends and really looks forward to
nursery. They always have plenty of new activities to engage and educate the children. The staff are always really professional, friendly, supportive and caring. Our daughter loves it and we do to.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.364)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.364) out of 10 for Little Raccoons Day Nursery Holloway is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.4 out of 5 from 7 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.964 for Little Raccoons Day Nursery Holloway is calculated as follows: ( (80 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 83 Ratings = 4.964
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.4 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little Raccoons Day Nursery Holloway is based on 7 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 3.7
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 50 number of registered child places is 10. 7 Positive Reviews ÷ 10 = 0.7
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
