Three things that have really impressed me since our daughter became a Wiggly Worm in January:


1. I can’t speak highly enough of the staff. It’s been lovely seeing her striking up a little friendship with her key worker and all of the team.
2. The indoor and outdoor spaces at the nursery are great

and so much fun for the little ones to explore and play.
3. The Famly app makes it so easy to keep in touch with the nursery and we absolutely love receiving the daily updates and photos.


Thanks, everyone at Little Green Rascals Organic Day Nursery - Tadcaster Road for all your time, effort and hard work as well as the love and care for our daughter.

My son has been going to Little Green Rascals for the last 9 months and really enjoys his time at nursery. All his room staff are great and he is always talking about them at home. I trust the nursery with his care completely.

Excellent care from really engaged staff. They are always good with feedback and general communication. The regular reviews are really helpful in understanding my child's development and providing insight into focus areas.

Our child joined Little Green Rascals Tadcaster Road in the autumn of 2022 as a preschooler and we’ve had a very good experience overall. While there was some staff changeover in our child’s room in the first few months due to illnesses and staff shortages, we always felt that they were being well cared
for and that the staff were providing a stimulating and nurturing environment. Now some of the staff challenges have been resolved which has meant increased organisation and communication. Our child is happy at the nursery, with no complaints. The only thing that was a little different than advertised is that they don’t have any animals (although they did just get some Guinea pigs), do forest school (though I believe they are planning to restart in the summer) or have language lessons, as I had read on the Little Green Rascals website. I’m not actually sure how large the outdoor space is as I’ve not seen it, it doesn’t seem huge from the pictures. However, we would still rate it as excellent and recommend it to other families.

From the nursery manager to the finance team, to the staff who look after my daughter, and have done since she was eleven months old - they’ve all been brilliant!
Any issues have been dealt with quickly, effectively and supportively and I’m really pleased with how staff seem to consider which key
worker might be best for my daughter. She’s formed a close bond with all of them.
She bounds into nursery happily.

My little girl has gone to Little Green Rascals Tadcaster Road since 9 months and now Bishopthorpe before and after school and school club . The staff are great with kids understanding with parents and helpful. I would not hesitate in recommending Little Green Rascals. My little girl loves it and has
learnt a lot in preparation for school and now she is at school.

Our daughter started in the baby room at Little Green Rascals in January 2019 and we have instantly been welcomed into the nursery family. The staff are absolutely gorgeous and so caring towards our little girl and incredibly sensitive to her and our needs. We could not feel happier and more comfortable
when we drop her off for her days of fun with the Little Green Rascals team. Thank you for being so wonderful!

As a first-time parent, leaving my 10-month-old at a nursery was a very difficult experience. Fortunately, that feeling didn’t last for very long. Within a few weeks, my son was not only excited to go to nursery, he absolutely fell in love with his key person.


His key worker has been a blessing.

She’s beyond sweet and caring and her genuineness is evident in the bond she has formed with my son. She always goes out of her way to make you feel comfortable and at ease.


I love the App that all parents have access to. I can easily check to see what and whether my son has eaten, nappy changes, etc. I don’t have to call the nursery for updates which makes things easier. I also get sent pictures of his activities and updates on his development.


In general, the staff at Little Green Rascals- Tedcaster are brilliant. They’re always very friendly and welcoming. The entire building is always very clean and the food options are admirable.


I would very highly recommend this nursery to anyone!

My daughter joined Cheeky hens September 2018, her key worker and staff have really helped her settle and develop her character. Throughout her day I am kept updated via the Famly app and am sent photos of her carrying out activities, it’s reassuring to see how much fun she is having with her friends.
The nursery itself is a safe, clean and friendly environment. Would definitely recommend this nursery to other parents!

Little Green Rascals Tadcaster Road is absolutely fantastic. The care provided for both of my daughters has been exemplary and I was particularly impressed with the steps taken to prepare my older child for school. They made the transition easy and for that, I am so grateful.


The thought and consideration

for the needs of the children as individuals is impressive and the emotional contact and care the staff provide goes above and beyond. Thank you!

Little Green Rascals is by far the best nursery I've ever seen. The level of care and dedication shown by every member of staff is outstanding and my son often comes home telling me how much they adore them.
The building itself is stunning and designed with a natural theme throughout, it feels especially
cosy in the winter months.
In keeping with the natural theme of the nursery, all of the food papered is organic so it's reassuring to know my children are being fed healthy and delicious food.
I cannot rate this nursery highly enough and would recommend Little Green Rascals to every parent.
Leaving your young child in the care of somebody else is a scary thing for every parent but Little Greens make you feel at ease knowing they are in a home away from home. My sons have always come home happy and with lots of fun stories to tell.
Huge thank you to all the staff who have taken such good care of my little rascals! X

My son is in the class, Little Ladybirds. He has struggled with his talking for some time and was actually a concern when he had his two year review. The health visitors requested to see him again in 6 weeks to see improvement. After discussing with Little Green Rascals Organic Day Nursery, they put
him on a speech development programme and he has developed dramatically. He now connects whole sentences together and pronounces nearly all letters. We are delighted with his progress and commend Little Green Rascals Organic Day Nursery for their support through this.

Our daughter has moved here recently from another local nursery and she’s settled in very quickly. The variety of activities available to them is fantastic and she gets plenty of time outside which she really enjoys. The food is varied and she appears to enjoy it all! Would highly recommend this nursery
venue.

My daughter has been to three nurseries as a result of relocation. Although she couldn’t express this, it was clear that she was not happy at the last one (unlike the first and this one). Since attending LGR, she has clearly returned to her happy self, her confidence has improved and she is developing
well. She never wants to leave LGR in the evenings, she absolutely loves the team and the nursery!

I am so happy my daughter got a place here, she learns so much especially in science tots and she loves telling me all about her day. The staff are all fabulous and so caring towards the children.
I love the forest school as she enjoys being outdoors more than anything, she goes on a fun walk or activity
at least once a week and has already enjoyed a trip to the castle museum. On the occasions when she has been upset all the staff have comforted her and helped to reassure her. The only thing I’m sad about is that she’s only spending a year here before starting school!

We’ve had children at Little Green Rascals for four years now and would never think of using a different nursery. I’m confident that my kids are getting the best care there. The staff are so caring and kind to the children, and friendly and approachable to the parents. The rooms are beautiful and the
toys/surroundings are all high quality and beautifully made. We value the forest school approach and that the children are encouraged to be outside all year round. Thank you LGR for providing such a beautiful caring environment!

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.
