EXCEPTIONAL!!! My two children attend here and both have since they were around 1 and its literally like home from home, the setting is gorgeous, its the same feel you get when you take your children to the Grandparents who adore seeing them and can't wait to make memories with them! The staff are so lovely, and treat the children like their own. Love the updates and communications on the app - so while at work I can see what they are up to. Would highly recommend if you want a setting that scoops your child up like their own and wants to do fun stuff with the kids from the moment they arrive to the moment they leave.

Where do I even start!?…. I’ve been wanting to write this review since the first day my daughter started at this nursery…. The first time leaving my first born was heartbreaking but little rascals did everything so wonderfully… they allowed my daughter to have settling in days which helped immensely, they introduce all the staff to you (each one so kind, friendly and welcoming), not only the care for my daughter they also support the parent (which they don’t need to do). I can’t express how much I love her nursery… although they have great provision it’s the people that make it - the constant smiling, support and love they have for your child is undeniable… the thought you are leaving your child in a safe, nurturing environment is invaluable. Now we have our second daughter (who will be attending soon) little rascals go above and beyond to support us… for example little things holding my youngest so I can drop my daughter off (thank you to Stevie & Chelsea). My daughter loves little rascals! I also want to say a massive thank you to Gabby and Karina…. You guys are incredible… we thank you so much!! If you don’t send your child here you are missing out! We love you Little Rascals!

This nursery is amazing. They gave my daughter the amount of settling in sessions that she needed, I have rang up too many times during the settling in period and they have provided me with plenty of updates throughout her first couple of days in the nursery. The nursery couldn’t do more to help with this transition period, they truly go above and beyond. I would 100% recommend to a friend

Lovely setting. Friendly staff who have helped my daughter settle in from when she started to moving rooms. Always a happy environment with plenty of play and activities. A great setting for learning and development.

I'm forever grateful for the nursery's development of my son. He absolutely thrived over the three years he spent here and always loved his time there, even if there were tears at drop-off. The staff are excellent at talking through the children's day at pick-up and take the time to make sure you leave fully contented. I recommend Little Rascals to everyone I know with young children, as I know they will be taught and respected by the professionals within.
