Me and my daughter love Little Rascals Private Day Nursery. The staff, ranging from nursery assistants to management are absolutely amazing and all so lovely. My daughter is always coming home and saying good things about all the people who look after her and I can see just how much these people care
for the children we send there. My daughter recently graduated from there and the little ceremony was lovely and could really see then how much they love the children and how much the children love them. The activities they hold for the children are great and range from painting to learning to exploring the wildlife in the gardens. The food they offer is great, always something new for my daughter to try which is great because I don’t think of some of these things! The app they use is amazing too, can see what they’ve been up to, what they’ve eaten and when they’ve gone to the toilet. I will always recommend Little Rascals to other parents. Thank you for everything!

I only have positive comments and experiences with Little Rascals they always try to help and support in any way possible I trust all staff with all three of my children. The nursery staff are friendly, helpful, and great role models. The managerial staff are professional, supportive, and always willing
to go above and beyond I literally can't say enough nice things about all of them
Thank you.

My four year old son attends Little Rascals on Station Road and it’s absolutely fantastic. He attends three mornings a week. My son is extremely shy around strangers and used to get really upset when we first took him to the point it upset us leaving him however the staff settled him and after a few
sessions he went in fine and he absolutely loves it. He has learned so much and we have seen a huge improvement in his development, we get regular updates and photos on the nursery’s app which is fab to see and any messages you send are responded to promptly. I can’t recommend Little Rascals enough the setting is fabulous and the staff are fabulous.

Absolutely fantastic staff. My baby has come on leaps and bounds. Always update me on the app on her progress. My little girl loves attending nursery. I would recommend this nursery 100% to anyone wanting to feel at ease while at work or leaving their baby for the first time; they are in good hands.
I can not thank them enough for the care provided to my little girl! Thank you.

Being a first time mum to a baby born during the pandemic I was petrified about how my daughter would cope going to nursery. However, the staff have been amazing. They helped ease my daughter (and me) into the routine of going and I can honestly say my daughter loves it now. She genuinely gets excited
when she realises that we are going to nursery. I had always nursed my daughter to sleep. So I was worried about her napping and going without milk (she never really had bottles), but the wonderful staff helped her to settle and get into a routine for napping without a feed. She eats great and seems to have a really fun time. I love the fact that everything is tracked on the app so I know what has gone on. I even get a weekly update with some pictures of her enjoying time at nursery which is great! The staff are amazing! I would highly recommend this nursery.

Really lovely nursery. The staff are helpful and welcoming, they did amazingly throughout the pandemic. Our daughter was only there for about 6 months due to receiving a place at a school nursery. Would have stayed if they did 30 hours 9-3. We had some extra needs that we shared with staff who were
so understanding and worked with us to make sure our daughter settled in well and enjoyed her time there. The staff seemed very patient and playful and handled unpleasant behaviours well. Would recommend.

My daughter attends here after I loved the way my son progressed with talking and socialising when he was there and once again proved to be brilliant. My daughter had a very slow start to speaking but since attending Little Rascals she has come on so much and I can't thank the staff enough for helping
her communicate better and being patient with her. Highly recommend!

Very good nursery. My daughter always comes home happy and gets excited to go to nursery. Really good at keeping you up to date with your child and what’s going on within the nursery. My daughter has come along so much since she started here and always tells me how nice the teachers are and helpful;
would recommend to anyone. Also cannot wait for a place to become available for my son to start. Thank you so much for all you do.

We are pleased we took the decision to move our child to Little Rascals. He is really happy and really enjoys coming to nursery and he's always happy on picking up. Having the app and seeing what he eats every day and if any accidents have happened is great, a very good thing, we love it. The office
staff and all the girls, in general, are great, well done to all staff in Little Rascals. I will definitely recommend it.

The nursery has been an amazing support for my son and me. Always updated on everything he does and the app makes it easier to see any accidents early on too. Amazing staff that all work together with others and the parents. He’s been going through all 3 rooms and I honestly can’t say I’ve had any problems
at all, easy to talk to and always have your child’s interest at heart. Thank you.

My daughter struggled with nursery but once I spoke to staff, we came to an arrangement and it's brilliant. All the staff are kind and friendly and my daughter actually loves going. I enjoy speaking to staff about her progress and getting updates. My daughter won't be going anywhere for a while. Thank

My little boy has only been here for the last three weeks and he absolutely loves it! He gets so excited to go. The staff are lovely and very friendly. I wouldn’t send him to another nursery. They’ve been brilliant during the Covid-19 guidelines, with a few added changes and it doesn’t seem to affect
the children or staff with a swap of routine. Overall a lovely environment, as a young mum I was so worried to send my son to nursery but I’ve not had that problem once. The app really helps me, so I can see what he’s doing during the day.

This nursery is amazing, my son was practically non-verbal at two and a half years old when he started, whilst being here his speech has come on amazingly. He loves going and I have never been more comfortable leaving my son somewhere.

Choosing Little Rascals Private Day Nurseries (Station Road) for my children has been the best decision. The staff are so welcoming and professional. They made settling in easy and I returned to work relaxed in the knowledge that my children were safe and happy. The activities my children do have exceeded
my expectations and I love that I have been involved with everything. I can see them developing their confidence, language skills and fun of learning.

My daughter started Little Rascals Private Day Nurseries (Station Road) extremely shy as she had never been in a nursery setting before but the staff have been excellent at bringing her out of her shell and building up her confidence. They update me on a daily basis and have been very helpful whenever
I've had any queries. I am very pleased with the staff and the way that they have helped my daughter settle in. I also find the office staff very welcoming and accommodating and would certainly recommend them.

My daughter has been attending since she was 9 months old, it was really tough having to send her to nursery at that age but the nursery staff are fantastic and I have every confidence in them. I’ve seen nothing but care and compassion from all the staff, it’s clear they love all the children and nothing
is too much trouble. They have been a fantastic support in terms of replicating any routines and helping with potty training. I’ve also been really impressed by the number of pictures and paintings that come home with my daughter and the effort they go to make little gifts for Mother’s Day, Christmas etc (I have friends whose children sadly have very little to show from their time at nursery). My daughter is now 3 and she is happy and thriving.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.809)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.809) out of 10 for Little Rascals Private Day Nurseries (Station Road) is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 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 4.809 for Little Rascals Private Day Nurseries (Station Road) is calculated as follows: ( (168 Excellents x 5) + (33 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 204 Ratings = 4.809

  • 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 Private Day Nurseries (Station Road) is based on 17 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 60 number of registered child places is 12, which has been reached with 17 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.
