January 9, 2017 at 12:00 amMy husband and I have been absolutely thrilled by the care our daughter has received at ‘Little Raccoons’. Staff are extremely welcoming and always make time to outline events that have happened during the day. Your staff have been fantastic in providing us with advice and support and we are very grateful for their help.

January 9, 2017 at 12:00 amMy daughter attended for 4 months and she absolutely loved it at Little Raccoons. The staff are warm, welcoming, friendly and yet still very professional. They spent a lot of time with my child and I was so impressed with all the work they did with her. The facilities are fantastic, there is so much there to stimulate the children and a lovely little garden which I know my daughter loved to spend time in catching bugs!
The food was outstanding, she tried lots of new and exciting things that I would never think to offer at home so that was great for her. The whole nursery is run extremely well and you can tell all the children are happy there. I will most likely be sending my younger daughter there once the time comes. A big thumbs up from me!

March 14, 2017 at 12:00 amThis is an excellent nursery, the facilities are first class, with a great outdoor play area but what really makes Little Raccoons Day Nursery Apsley stand out are the staff. They are friendly and caring and have really made my son feel safe and loved and he is always learning new things through fun and laughter.

August 23, 2017 at 12:00 amThis is a fantastic nursery, my daughter was so happy and well cared for. The nursery is beautifully set up with a great outdoor play area. The staff are all very engaged, friendly and warm and nothing is too much trouble. My daughter did so many creative activities and has learnt so much over the year she spent here. She has been very well prepared for school.

August 30, 2017 at 12:00 amThe girls who work in the baby section of the nursery are great. I get the impression from my daughter that it’s a lot of fun and she loves going there. All credit to the hard work of the girls who work in the baby session.

September 4, 2017 at 12:00 amThe baby team and in fact, all staff including the new manager at Little Raccoons Apsley are just wonderful. They show a genuine warmth towards my baby girl and they have quickly banished my anxiety at leaving my little one aged 7 months in their care. Now at nearly 12 months she is settled, happy and loves nursery.

September 13, 2017 at 12:00 amLittle Racoons is such a lovely nursery and my daughter is so happy there. The staff are wonderful and caring – it’s like a little family. The staff always do new activities and at the end of each day always take the time to go through my daughter’s day with me. The facilities and outdoor area are great and my daughter loves the food! Would definitely recommend!

November 13, 2017 at 12:00 amMy son joined the nursery aged nine months in March this year. He has thrived under the guidance of the staff at Little Raccoons. He loves going to ‘school’ and is excited every morning. He has learnt lots of skills and comes home every day with a full report card full of different activities that he has done that day. He has developed some lovely relationships with both staff and other children and my husband and I are really happy that we have found such a good nursery close to home. He is out of the baby room to the next stage in the new year, which will bring more adventure. I highly recommend Little Raccoons, Apsley.

September 7, 2018 at 12:00 amWe really like the fact that the carers are so involved and full of energy daily for the children, something that we aspire to having when we are with the Thea. its tough being energetic for several hours of the day and to care for the little ones.
Thea is really growing into her own and we enjoy watching her development weekly. We also entirely trust them with her at all hours and haven’t hesitated ever leaving her on the premise at anytime.

March 16, 2023 at 12:00 amFantastic nursery staff are so lovely and keep you up to date, our son loves it! The staff were so good at helping him settle in as he struggled a bit at first. Would highly recommend! All the staff seem to know my son and what he likes and doesn’t and I feel they really treat them as individuals!

March 22, 2023 at 12:00 amWe have had a really good experience at Little Raccoons in Apsley over the last five years, having sent our son in 2018 and then our daughter from 2020. The kids have both loved it and the staff have been consistently energetic, enthusiastic, caring and much loved by the kids. I would say the staff are what makes it special and they deserve all the credit for creating this ‘home away from home’ feel for the kids. I would definitely recommend it.

March 22, 2023 at 12:00 amOur son has attended Little Raccoons Day Nursery Apsley for just over a month now for only two morning sessions and we are amazed at how much he has developed; He has come on leaps and bounds since starting. We can see his confidence growing and outside of the nursery he is getting better at settling into new environments. This is a testimony to all the staff for creating a welcoming and supportive atmosphere.
As first-time parents, we were apprehensive about putting our son into nursery but since our show-around day, we just knew Little Raccoons Day Nursery Apsley was the best place for our son. We have complete trust in the staff and feel at ease knowing he is happy and well looked after.

March 26, 2023 at 12:00 amA very well managed nursery with lovely staff. Staff make the place what it is but the new manager has really made a positive difference to an already great place. I trust them implicitly. Would recommend to anyone – sadly my son leaves in September and I have genuine anxiety about how much he is going to miss Little Raccoons Day Nursery. Keep up the great work guys.

March 29, 2023 at 12:00 amMy little boy started at Little Raccoons Day Nursery at 1 year old. I was so upset and anxious to be leaving him to go back to work but from the start was made to feel so much more at ease by everyone at Little Raccoons.
I am always kept up to date with what he’s eaten, how many nappy changes he’s had, how long he’s slept for and pictures throughout the day showing me what he’s doing. Receiving these updates on the app gets me through my day!
He has settled in so well and I know he is safe, cared for and happy. The pictures always show him playing, painting, learning, out in the garden and having fun.
The team at Little Raccoons are all so friendly, helpful and understanding. My little boy’s key workers are amazing but they all do an amazing job.
I’d highly recommend Little Raccoons.

March 29, 2023 at 12:00 amMy son joined this nursery back in February and he loves it so much. We are so happy after moving from another nursery in the area. It is a pleasure dropping him off in the mornings and seeing how happy he is going into class. Communication is great and the app is updated on a regular basis during the day. I feel that all the nursery teachers take a real interest in my child which is comforting. I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone.

March 31, 2023 at 12:00 amBoth our kids have been at Little Raccoons and they have truly blossomed during their time at this nursery! Everything from social skills to vocabulary has come on faster than I ever imagined. The staff are so welcoming to us parents and children and it is easy to address any queries or questions we have about day-to-day learning. I can’t praise all the ladies enough for all their work with our kids!

April 16, 2023 at 12:00 amFantastic nursery would highly recommend! My 3 year old son’s key worker is amazing and really makes an effort to help him develop in areas where he struggles such as writing. Her updates on the Famly app are detailed, regular and enjoyable to read. It’s nice to see the large variety of group activities they put on for the kids. Management are also helpful and responsive with invoicing and other queries. It’s great that funding can be applied flexibly as opposed to a set number of hours a day like some nurseries, and there is a similar flexibility with requests to change sessions – which has been very much appreciated. The staff are all very friendly which makes for a lovely childcare setting. I can’t thank them all enough for making my son’s time so enjoyable – it’s clear him and his friends really love it there!
