What a brilliant nursery. My daughter has only been attending for a few weeks and already shone into her little character, constantly showing us how much she's learned, all staff are brilliant and let us know daily what she's doing. Even checking in whilst off with a bug. Would recommend it to anyone!

My son loves coming by here, wouldn't send him anywhere else. My daughter came here too and she loved it and the staff members are so supportive and friendly too.
My son was going to several other nurseries before he actually found Little Rascals and settled well.

Fantastic nursery with staff that go above and beyond for the children.
All my children have attended Little Rascals, my youngest starting from 6 months old. I am currently studying at university the nursery has been exceptional in working around me and my timetable. If it wasn't for Little Rascal's
amazing staff I would not be able to complete my degree. Thank you for everything you do and continue to do for my child.

Honestly an amazing nursery! The staff are fantastic. I feel safe sending my little boy there as he's well looked after! My little boy has been going there since he was one, his speech, and confidence have come on so much. The staff are always there to speak to me regarding any issues and help and advise
me on what to do.

I was initially apprehensive to send my child to Little Rascals Nursery as they had always attended a childminder. However, my mind was put at ease as soon as I met the staff and had a look around the nursery. The staff were very welcoming and answered any questions/concerns. My child was made to feel
welcome from day one, always greeted at the door with a friendly face. They come home happy with a smile on their face wanting to tell me everything about their day. The staff constantly encourage children to get involved in different activities and they have themed weeks, so every week is something different for the children. They have an app that allows you to see reminders and updates for your child including pictures, this is so useful as I look on the app and everything I need to know is there. Any minor problems we've had we've spoken to the staff at nursery and the issue has been sorted immediately. I couldn't ask for a nicer/friendlier group of people to be caring for my child.

Little Rascals Nursery is a fantastic childcare provider. As soon as you walk in, you'll immediately notice the warm and welcoming atmosphere. The staff members are friendly and attentive, always ready to greet you and your child with a smile. The nursery has excellent facilities, with spacious and
well-equipped rooms that cater to different age groups. Rooms are designed with age-appropriate toys, books, and games that promote early learning and development. The outdoor play area is also impressive, providing a safe and stimulating environment for children to explore and play.


One of the things that stand out about the nursery is the high level of care and attention given to each child. The staff members take the time to get to know each child individually and work closely with parents to ensure that every child's needs are met. The staff also implements a range of activities and educational programs that help children develop important skills.
Thank you!

My child has been going to Little Rascals for a while now. I have nothing but good things to say. They have brought my child on leaps and bounds, he has really come out of his shell due to the support from the staff.

I wouldn’t send my child anywhere else! Both of my daughters have attended this nursery, my oldest from 2018 and my youngest from 2022. Staff are so kind and helpful, my children have great relationships with them all. My eldest daughter’s speech and confidence developed so well when she started her
full time 30 hours in 2022 and now she is doing well with her writing too. They do plenty of activities within the nursery, have great variation for breakfast and healthy snacks, have a great outdoor space, educational and fun, and keep me well informed of any concerns or upcoming events. I couldn’t fault the nursery in any way.

My son started nursery in September 2022, really struggled to settle, they accommodated every hour change to try to get him settling and after a month or so, he absolutely loved it, can’t thank the staff enough for their patience and persistence in helping my son enjoy every minute there. Can’t praise
the staff enough. Absolutely brilliant.

My Daughter started at Little rascals nursery back on January 2022. For the first 2 months, she was very anxious about leaving me and would cry when I dropped her off but the lovely ladies would take over and reassure her and me and in time she became used to it and started to really enjoy being there.
Now she wakes up in the morning and asks to go and see her friends at school! She loves it! She's come on leaps and bounds while she's been there and now is a very confident and outgoing toddler. The staff there are amazing with the kids and make them feel very comfortable. My daughter has potty trained while she's been there and staff have been really supportive and encouraging. She's now fully out of nappies at 2. I highly recommend this nursery for many reasons. 5/5.

My child has been going here since nine months old up until four years old. The staff are so friendly, and my boy loves them all and has a really good relationship with them. They are understanding and go above and beyond to help. It’s great knowing my son is in such great hands.
Also, good competitive
price compared to other nurseries.

My son has been at Little Rascals now for a year and a half. He absolutely loves nursery. He was so shy and quiet at first, but he's starting to come out of his shell. The staff are brilliant and really friendly to talk to. They always update us on his progress and are always available to talk if you
have any concerns or questions face to face or over the phone. We will definitely miss Little Rascals when he moves to his new school.

It’s a fab nursery, they adapt to my little one so well. He has a lot of difficulties in socialising and getting used to new places. The nursery made him feel so welcome and work with him closely, helping him develop in all aspects. The staff are very friendly and very easy to communicate with. I couldn’t
have asked for a better nursery for him. He always comes out with a smile on his face!

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.963)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.963) out of 10 for Little Rascals Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.963 for Little Rascals Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (158 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 163 Ratings = 4.963

  • b) 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little Rascals Day Nursery is based on 14 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 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 53 number of registered child places is 10.6, which has been reached with 14 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
