Overall Experience

My son has been attending LGR Flaxton for nearly a month now but we have been visiting the nursery since he was small by attending their Weigh and Play sessions on a Friday morning. It is such a lovely nursery with beautiful surroundings. The staff are never anything but friendly, professional, happy

and enthusiastic. I feel really reassured that my son is being well cared for, well fed (food always smells amazing) and stimulated. The app is great for being updated on your little one throughout the day. I'm so happy I choose LGR Flaxton for my son and would recommend it to others.

Overall Experience

Since joining the nursery last September my child has settled in really well and built some fantastic relationships with the staff. We feel he is really cared for and gets all the hugs he needs. He is no excited to go to nursery on a morning and tells us all about his day in pre-school.

Reply from Hannah, Marketing Business Partner at Little Green Rascals Day Nursery Elvington

Thank you for your lovely feedback, we're so happy to hear that your child has settled in so well and is excited to come to nursery. We look forward to continuing to support him in his early years journey!

Our daughter loves coming to LGR Haxby. The staff are really friendly and take great care of her. There are lots of activities for the children organised both by the staff and external providers which provides a great range of experiences. I would highly recommend this setting to anyone looking for

childcare.

Review of
Little Green Rascals Day Nursery Minster Yard
from S G (Mother of Child) published on 21 March 2025

Overall Experience

We are extremely pleased with our experience at LGR Minster Yard. The location is very convenient, with the beautiful Church a stones throw from the nursery. My son started at 7 months old, and I have always felt impressed with the care he has received - now, he leans in to his key person every morning,

so excited to go inside! I am amazed by the quality and variety of the food he eats, and nursery has certainly assisted us hugely with his weaning journey. The range of activities offered impresses me daily (and especially the messy ones, which my son seems to love!) and the thoughtfulness of the staff. Nothing is too much trouble, and they have been so accommodating and flexible. We love getting notifications on the app about what he's been up to in the day and checking in with his key person every evening, where we can chat through his day. A wonderful nursery - we feel comfortable dropping our son off each day, and confident that he is learning so much in the care of the staff.

Reply from Angela Bailey, Head of Customer Experience at Little Green Rascals Day Nursery Minster Yard

Thank you so much for your detailed review of our nursery. We are thrilled to read that you and your son have had such a positive experience with us. It is wonderful to know that our location, the care we provide, and the activities we offer have all made such a difference in your son's experience. It is great to know that the variety of food and the weaning support the team has provided has been so beneficial and that you feel confident and comfortable leaving your son in our care.

Overall Experience

My daughter had never been to nursery before so I was a bit apprehensive when she started. Staff at Haxby Little Green Rascals have been great, reassured me when she started with regular updates. They've been excellent listeners and so patient with my daughter, providing her reassurance when needed

and keeping her entertained and well looked after. She has only been coming a month and has already come on and developed so much all thanks to the staff and her key worker. Couldn't ask for a better nursery!

Reply from Angela Bailey, Head of Customer Experience at Little Green Rascals Day Nursery Haxby

The transition to nursery life can feel daunting at first, but we are so pleased to read that the team have been able to reassure you both through frequent communication and care. Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review.

Lovely staff who engage the children in a wide variety of activities. We had no separation anxiety or tears on the first day. He has made a lovely group of friends, and the kids get taken out to experience different places in the village like the parks, church and library.

Overall Experience

We are really happy with the care provided at this nursery. My son started at 9 months and I found it difficult to leave him at first but he has flourished in the past 5 months.
The staff are very helpful, friendly and engaged with the children. The activities and toys on offer are superb and beyond

anything we can do at home.
My son has developed a strong bond with staff members and particularly loves the sensory room and outdoor activities this nursery offers.
He has learned so much at nursery, including songs, sign language and new skills. I'm really pleased we chose this nursery.
The staff are great at keeping you updated throughout the day on the app too - not too many updates but enough that you know your child is having a good day. I would always trust them to phone me if he's poorly or struggling, but that has only happened once. I would recommend this nursery to friends and family.

Reply from Angela Bailey, Head of Customer Experience at Little Green Rascals Day Nursery Minster Yard

We're so happy to read how your son has flourished and that the care and activities we provide have made such a positive impact. It's great to know he's enjoyed the sensory room, outdoor activities, and all the new skills he's been learning. We value your trust in us and are glad the communication through the app has helped you stay connected throughout the day.

Overall Experience

My girls have been going here since they were 6 months old and they are turning two soon. We are delighted with our experience with Minster yard. The staff are great and genuinely very caring towards the children. The nursery is well equipped and clean. They get plenty of outdoor time and activities.

It was a tough decision for us to pick a nursery, as we have twins and the price was a worry, but we are so thankful we chose LGR (despite it not being the cheapest!) as it's just been amazing for their development. The management team have also been great at finding space for ad hoc days when we need them. My only tiny bit of feedback would be that the previous app was much better than the current one, but other than that I have only glowing things to say about this lovely nursery.

Reply from Angela Bailey, Head of Customer Experience at Little Green Rascals Day Nursery Minster Yard

We're so happy to read that you've had such a positive experience with us and that your girls have thrived at Minster Yard. We take great pride in providing a caring, clean, and well-equipped environment, and it's wonderful to know that they've enjoyed their outdoor time and activities. We completely understand the importance of making the right choice, and we're so grateful that you chose us for their care and development.

Warm and friendly nursery staff. My daughter has enjoyed being at Flaxton for two and a half years. She has grown in confidence throughout and made some wonderful friends. The children do a wide variety of activities including French and mindfulness. The food is freshly cooked on site and the kids are

able to spend a lot of time outdoors. Highly recommended.

Overall Experience

My daughter started just before she turned 1 in April 2024. They were brilliant at getting her settled and taking the time to make both her and myself comfortable with the transition. My daughter bonded with the staff and I really love the updates we get throughout the day. Pick up and drop off are

brilliant because you get to go into the room and collect her and so you get to see her with all of her little friends and see the staff interacting with the kids. Finally, the development I've seen in my child has been precious, they do so many educational activities and I feel like they have a real love for her and get to know her little quirks.

Reply from Angela Bailey, Head of Customer Experience at Little Green Rascals Day Nursery Tadcaster Road

The team will be delighted to read how that have eased the transition into nursery life for you and your daughter, it can feel daunting at first. We are so proud of our team and the activities we provide and are always happy to share these moments with family through the app and and collection time.

Overall Experience

My son has been at the nursery about a year. Since joining, he has really enjoyed it - all the extra activities especially rugby tots, science tots and baby baby. He also loves the food (often having more than one portion).
A special mention to the room leader - cheeky hens, the room leader - bumble

bees and the office manager - all are brillant , helpful and clearly love their jobs and the children.
I would recommend this nursery without a doubt. Very slight downside is the limited parking and gets very busy at peak times - but the parking attendant is brillant. I only drive when it is less busy as the car park is quite tight and it's preferable to reverse park!

Thank you for your lovely review! We're so happy to read how much your son enjoys nursery, especially the extra activities and delicious meals. It's wonderful to know that our team has made such a positive impact on your family. We appreciate your recommendation and feedback about parking!

Overall Experience

I sent my son to LGR Tadcaster Road from when he was 19 months old until he just turned 3. The only reason we are moving is to go to another LGR that is closer to his older siblings primary school. My son has been incredibly happy at LGR and has formed close bonds with many members of staff. It is a

friendly, welcoming place and he has truly thrived! The fact that he gets to do rugby, football, yoga and science is an added bonus.
Communication has been good during his time there, and it has been like a community which both boys (even the one at school!) feel a part of.
I'm looking forward to see my son develop further in preschool at his new LGR
