I cannot praise Little Rascals enough. The staff are absolutely fantastic. Caring, approachable, and genuinely invested in every child's wellbeing and development. You always know your kids are in safe and capable hands here, and both of mine absolutely loved going. There’s a great range of healthy, tasty food and the atmosphere is always welcoming and positive. The building is well protected and secure. Every time I went the hallway and rooms were always clean. What really sets Little Rascals apart is how observant and proactive the staff are. While my eldest was attending, it became clear early on that she had additional needs, which turned out to be autism (now formally diagnosed). The staff picked up on her struggles straight away and were amazing in how they supported her, and us, every step of the way. They got the ball rolling early which led to her diagnosis and ultimately a place at a specialist school, where she’s now thriving. I have no doubt that without the care, insight and dedication of the Little Rascals staff, we wouldn’t be where we are today. They go above and beyond for every child, and we will be eternally grateful for everything they’ve done for our family. I will honestly never forget them. Thank you so much 🌻🌈
