Inclusion & environment
The management team is highly attuned to the needs of children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). This allows it to work with parents and other professionals to ensure that appropriate support is put in place quickly. The ongoing support that these children receive ensures that they continue to make the best possible progress.
Children relish their time outdoors. They know to wear hats and sun cream. Children have ample space to run, climb and balance on the equipment provided. They negotiate space well as they steer ride-on toys, careful not to bump into their friends.
Little Raccoons Nursery was an amazing school for my child's growth in various areas, such as social, emotional, and cognitive skills. My child loved going to the nursery and enjoyed interactive indoor play, outdoor garden activities, dance lessons and baking. Our special thanks to Ms Emily(Nursery Manager) for always inviting parents and family to the nursery for Christmas, Easter, Mother's Day, birthday of our child and always gave a personal touch to the events. Our special thanks to Ms Veni, Ms Shanika and entire staff of Little Raccoons. They are very hard working, kind and caring. They sent us cupcakes, hand made greeting cards, potted plants and lots of things as memories that we will all cherish. Ms Veni was the first teacher to our child. We will always remember her smile, patience and welcoming attitude towards everyone. Wishing everyone the very best! Thank you Little Raccoons Nursery for all the support and making our child's journey to school indeed a memorable one.

Read on GoogleOne of the experience we had. They don't deliver what they promise. Even after calling her, responses are I am busy right now, will tell you requested info later. Day after same response. They say go to another nursery. Really ?Just save yourself and child.
Read on GoogleMy son has been attending Little Raccoons Pinner for almost three months and he absolutely loves his “school” and is learning so much. As a mom, I am very happy with our experience with the director (Ms Emily), toddler teachers (Ms, Seher and Ms Hannah) and the entire LR Pinner staff, and the frequent updates, communication and photos shared throughout the day. Our family recently moved to the area from the States and it makes me so happy that my little one has made friends with the other children, as I was worried how he would adjust to living in a new country. The curriculum for toddlers is wonderful, the children participate in a lot of hands on activities, learn how to clean up and serve themselves, and they learn a lot about the world around them (weather, hygiene, animals and plants, etc). I cannot say enough great things about this nursery, my son loves going in each day and we highly recommend :)
Read on GoogleOur daughter currently attends the nursery (Feb 2019) and has been for 6 months now. She is very happy. The nursery stimulate her with a range of activities and she particularly enjoys messy activities and the sport coaches that come in on a weekly basis. The nursery holds events for parents / family members to attend e.g. an afternoon to celebrate grandparents which gives a really personal feel. I can not fault the staff - the ladies who look after her are caring and work really hard to create an engaging, fun environment for the children and truly care about them and their needs. They have taken the time to really get to know my child- her personality, likes, dislikes etc. Management have a clear vision for the nursery to further improve it and I have no doubt that they will. They take time and effort to gather parent views and are passionate about making the nursery the best it can be.
