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.

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!

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

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!

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

Both our children go to Little Green Rascals Day Nursery Tadcaster Road 3 days a week. Both have settled in very quickly, starting at 3 years old and 11 months. They are enjoying their time there thanks to the extremely caring staff and lovely activities. We have seen our eldest grow in confidence and
build friendships, she is also making good progress with phonics and getting ready for school. Finally, the focus on sports/outdoor activities is exceptional, forest school, yoga, rugby, and mini kicks, are making a real difference.

We have been with Little Green Rascals Day Nursery Tadcaster Road for three years and have been happy from day one to current day. Every aspect of our children's needs are looked after, and when we need more, whether it#s an extra day, an early drop off or advice they are always here to help.
We would
always recommend Little Green Rascals to friends and although we have no more kids, if we do they will come here. The car park is very very good.

Little Green Rascals Tadcaster Road is a very good nursery. Our second child is there currently, following in the footsteps of our first. Whilst it is not the cheapest nursery, there are no hidden expenses like nappies, sun cream, meals, etc. A few slight concerns are creeping in since the founder and
owner sold the group to a national nursery chain, giving rise to concerns that activities such as "Forest School" may be phased out, which would be a shame as our kids both loved it.

Reply from Hannah Nabil, Digital Marketing Specialist at Little Green Rascals Day Nursery Tadcaster Road

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We're delighted to hear that Little Green Rascals Tadcaster Road has been a positive choice for your family, providing a nurturing environment for both of your children. We understand your concerns regarding the change in ownership and potential adjustments to activities like Forest School. Rest assured, we value the feedback of our families and are committed to maintaining the quality and uniqueness of our curriculum. We'll do our best to address any concerns and ensure that the nursery continues to provide enriching experiences for all the children. Thank you for being part of our community.

I moved my son from another highly rated nursery as I noticed his whole demeanour had changed when he moved up a class. He became distressed on the way there/at drop off, always by himself on collection and in the photos and had big meltdowns at home as if he had bottled everything up all day.
We changed
to Little Green Rascals and the change was instant! He enjoyed his settling-in days exploring the room and not shying away from the children. He is now a very happy confident little boy again who joins in with all the fab sensory activities! I feel the staff really know him from the way they report at the end of the day. They have fab insight into development and I know they have been instrumental in encouraging his learning. They encourage independence in a very nurturing way. The food is incredible and organic, the receptionist and car park attendant are very warm and welcoming. It just is a beautiful little nursery and I’m so glad we made the switch and got our happy cheeky monkey back!

Reply from Hannah Nabil, Digital Marketing Specialist at Little Green Rascals Day Nursery Tadcaster Road

Your son's journey and the positive changes you've noticed since joining Little Green Rascals are truly inspiring. We're thrilled to have been able to provide him with a nurturing environment where he can flourish. It's fantastic to hear that he's now happily engaging in sensory activities and building confidence. We greatly appreciate your recognition of our staff's dedication, the quality of our food, and the warmth of our reception team. Thank you for entrusting us with your son's care, and we're delighted to have him as part of our nursery community!

Little Green Rascals Organic Day Nursery - Tadcaster Road is so special. I was very nervous to send my son to full-time nursery at 11 months, but Little Green Rascals Organic Day Nursery is perfect and I’m so glad we picked there.
The app is fantastic, the team keep you in the loop and the facilities
are wonderful, but the real heart of Little Green Rascals are the staff. The office manager gave me a hug during first day tears, and the staff in Wiggly Worms are just fabulous. They kept us fully informed in the build-up to my son starting and eased him in carefully. They’re extremely hard working and I’ve no idea how they do what they do.
Finally, there are not enough words to describe my gratitude for my son’s key worker. She is so genuinely invested in his happiness and wellbeing, and my son adores her. What more could you hope for when you leave your heart with someone to take care of each day? One day he will move on from nursery but I’ll always remember the impact his key worker made on his little life (and ours). Thank you Little Green Rascals!

Little Green Rascals Organic Day Nursery Tadcaster Road is a fantastic nursery with loads of learning opportunities, equipment and fabulous staff. I feel that their downsides are probably due to lack of staff which can result in consistent communication with parents. I have found a massive drop off
in communication from my child moving from one room to the next. The nursery caregivers are excellent and my child has a lovely bond with them. But I’d like the see the staff cherished more and I think I would then feel the value over other nurseries asking for a lesser day rate.

We love Little Green Rascals, my 3rd daughter just started in Wiggly Worms. The level of care is of a very high standard, the staff is great and nothing is too much to ask. They are kind and friendly and very caring toward the children. My 9-year-old went there and still staff are very kind and friendly
talking to her. When an issue is raised it is dealt with promptly for the interest of the children. Food is amazing and now we are being offered breakfast on the go for parents which I think it is very thoughtful as we are rushing in the morning to get to work on time. I can't praise enough this nursery, not perfect but who is?

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.485)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.485) out of 10 for Little Green Rascals Day Nursery Tadcaster Road is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 13 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 4.878 for Little Green Rascals Day Nursery Tadcaster Road is calculated as follows: ( (137 Excellents x 5) + (19 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 156 Ratings = 4.878

  • 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 4.607 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little Green Rascals Day Nursery Tadcaster Road is based on 13 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 107 number of registered child places is 21.4. 13 Positive Reviews ÷ 21.4 = 0.607

  • 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.
