Firstly, the facility is clean and tidy! It’s newly refurbished and well equipped. Secondly and most importantly, the staff are so caring and nurturing. I feel safe knowing my child is well looked after. Lastly, they're incredibly flexible with timings and always update their online portal with pictures
of children doing activities as well as during lunch.

My son has been going to Little Racoons Day Nursery Elstree for almost a year and started when he was just about to turn two, the day that they opened! I was worried as we had been in lockdown for half of his life and wasn’t sure how he would take to nursery life, well within a couple of days my worries
were gone. The staff settled him in immediately, he was part of the family the minute he walked through the door! The setting is gorgeous, clean, bright and well looked after and the surroundings are gorgeous as well. I love that the kids can say hi to the horses in the field! The manager can’t do enough to make sure the kids and the parents are happy and the deputy manager is just as divine. All the staff look after my baby as if he’s their own and I know he’s in the best hands when he is there. I honestly have no problem recommending Little Racoons Day Nursery Elstree and to anyone considering it, in fact, I encourage you to send your child there, you won’t regret it!

My son has been in Little Raccoons Day Nursery Elstree since January and I have never been happier! He loves going into nursery and comes out smiling every day. I couldn't have asked for anything more from the amazing staff, they go out of their way to make sure our children are taken care of and that
they are safe! Thank you.

The most beautiful setting for my daughter with caring and empathetic staff! We couldn’t wish for more! Her academic progress is incredible and her well-being is cared for. All staff are welcoming and take time to talk to parents! We could not recommend it more.

The standards of Little Raccoons are exceptional, and couldn’t be happier with the quality of service provided.


My child has grown so much, developed and equally loved at the same time.


The communication that we receive is exemplary and couldn’t ask for anything more.

My child has been at Little Raccoons Elstree since August 2021, he loves it. He misses his friends and teachers during the weekends! He has learnt a lot but more importantly he’s had a lot of fun. I would definitely recommend this nursery!

Current Review Score: 8.9 (8.931)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.9 (8.931) out of 10 for Little Raccoons Day Nursery Elstree 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 5 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.0 out of 5 from 5 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 4.931 for Little Raccoons Day Nursery Elstree is calculated as follows: ( (54 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 58 Ratings = 4.931

  • 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 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little Raccoons Day Nursery Elstree is based on 5 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 = 3.5

    • 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 50 number of registered child places is 10. 5 Positive Reviews ÷ 10 = 0.5

  • 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.
