Little Rascals Day Nurseries

My little one loves it here. The staff are caring and kind, and have been particularly brilliant as my little one started during the pandemic. They were not at all pushy, but were understanding of two anxious parents and did everything that they could to help us all during very strange times. There are lots of things for the babies to explore, as well as some great activities that the staff put on. They have some good meals and the hand overs that we have received have been very informative. Sending our little one here is one of the best decisions that we have made so far as parents.

In my, opinion the best nursery in town!All of the staff are warm, welcoming and very knowledgeable. The care and education given is second to none and both of my girls have loved their time there. My older girl left nursery very confident and very well equipped for school and my baby who attends at the moment absolutely loves going and the staff have taken the time to build a beautiful caring rapport with her. I thoroughly recommend Little Rascals to anyone.

My daughter has just finished with Little Rascals to start school. She's been with them since she was 8 months old and I couldn't rate them higher! The staff are all so warm, understanding and welcoming, they'll do their best to work with you for what is best for your child.The games they play with them develop their brains and confidence so much and the children just think they're playing! They're so creative with how they get the children to learn and eventually get them ready for school. We were with them through Covid and they worked so hard to keep everyone safe, it was a really tough time for us all but we felt so supported with the staff there.They allowed my daughter to be herself and helped shape her into the (pretty amazing!) girl she is today. She loves outdoor play and the facilities they have there allow her to explore the world safely.We love this nursery so much that our baby is due to start with them next month!

My husband and myself are so happy we chose Little rascals for our little boy - one of the best decisions we have made so far as parents! The staff have been so supportive and understanding, as not only as we are first time parents (so lots to learn ) - and they have been wonderful - but with our little boy born into a pandemic world having spent the majority of his first year in lockdowns/a rather small bubble of people and experiences...we were also nervous. But they have ensured great communication - be it emails, the report app (which is also heart warming to read and see photos/videos of our little boy while with them) or the daily handover! They have been patient and reassuring with us and importantly our little boy! The food and the daily set ups for play/activities are great and always different! My little boy lights up and smiles when we walk up to the door, and he goes into the room/to the staff with open arms - that is the best indicator and review for is, he loves it there!

This place is truly designed to be a home away from from. It is staffed with highly professional and caring nursey workers who provide the highest quality care for both the physical and emotional development of children.While we have been using LR, our daughter was diagnosed with epilepsy and had her most serious fit to date while on sight. The team followed the care plan perfectly, administered the rescue meds and called for an ambulance as well as ringing us and staying with her and giving the very best care. Their actions saved her that day and we will be eternally grateful.

Our son started Little Rascals Welby Lane just after his first birthday. Everything has been amazing. As first time parents we were nervous about leaving our baby with anyone, especially as there was a pandemic! Little rascals have been kind and child centred throughout with clear safety procedures. The staff have been great, they will listen to the child's interests, diet and naps, putting each child at the centre of their experience rather than fitting the child into a rigid routine. They have even supported us using reusable nappies. There is good communication between parents and staff, and all messages that are given to management get through to the right people too. The environment is lovely and our son really seems to enjoy his time there. I feel like I am listened to as a mum and the usual family experience that the child would have at home is really valued. Thank you!

My wife and I highly recommend Little Rascals at Welby Lane.We chose this nursery after visiting a few in town and this was the only nursery who werent scared of our childs diagnosis of CHD. They welcomed him with open arms and have gone above and beyond to help him with his needs such as learning Makaton and reading all the information we have sent about his heart defect.Not only are we happy but our little boy is happy and he talks fondly of all the staff he comes into contact with. They really care about him and it shows as he is always super smiley at drop off and pick up.The staff are diverse and accepting of our family dynamic and as a family from the LGBT+ community it’s a breath of fresh air to have staff who are welcoming and educated.If you are looking for a nursery for your child I don’t think you would find a nursery as good as this!

Great nursery, great staff, competitive rates.We’ve sent both our children here and all the age groups are brilliant. From a real understanding of what makes each child unique to an overall vision of preparing our children for school, this nursery did it! We’d recommend to all

I would absolutely recommend Little Rascals Nursery to any parent looking for a nursery for their child. My daughter has attended the Welby lane setting since October 2020 during the pandemic, starting at 10 months old, and the baby room staff were absolutely amazing in settling her into nursery. It took a little while due to my daughter being unsocialised as a result of the pandemic, but Little Rascals allowed her to do settling sessions as required and their caring nature and home-from-home setting definitely removed the anxiety as a parent. During her time at Little Rascals, my daughter has had some additional medical requirements for a temporary period which all staff went above and beyond to accommodate and make her still feel included which I can't thank them enough for their efforts in making that tricky period as easy as possible. My daughter has flourished in so many ways at Little Rascals and it’s amazing to see her little character develop and grow as she learns new things and experiences all the different activities Little Rascals offers. All of the staff are wonderful, supportive, enthusiastic and create such interesting activities to get the little ones engaged and learning, the children are frequently taken on walks/outings with lots of outdoor play encouraged, and I love the fact she is able to sign lots of words as she talks following the Sing and Sign sessions they have. I couldn't recommend Little Rascals enough as it's been nothing but a joy sending my little girl to nursery and she absolutely loves going! The proof is definitely when I collect her with a massive smile on her face and I find out about all the new things she's learnt and done that day!

Our son (14 months) started at Little Rascals just before his first birthday. There were plenty of settling in sessions which gradually increased in time and included food and nap times. These really helped us all to feel comfortable when he officially started. He has a minor health condition but staff were really thorough in finding out all about it and how best to support him. Handovers are brilliant at the end of each day and we are regularly kept up to date through the Tapestry app about what he’s been up to. Activities are really well planned out and are catered to specific children’s interests and development stages. Staff are fantastic at giving advice on things like weaning, napping, etc. They’ve even passed on recipes for meals that our very fussy son has particularly enjoyed. He is always happy at pick-up and seems to come home every day having learnt something new. We’re so pleased that we chose Little Rascals and can’t thank the staff enough for all that they do for him.
