September 18, 2024 at 8:23 pmThe team are inviting, welcoming, welcoming and yet still very expert. They spent a lot of time with my kid and I was so impressed with all the work they did with her. The facilities are remarkable, there is so much there to stimulate the kids 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 excellent for her. The whole childcare centre is run extremely well and you can tell all the kids are cheerful there. I will most likely be sending my younger daughter there once the time comes. A big thumbs up from me! My daughter attended for 4 months and she absolutely loved it at Little Raccoons.

September 24, 2024 at 5:35 pmI was so upset and anxious to be leaving him to go back to work but from the start was made to sense so much more at ease by everyone at Little Raccoons.
I am consistently 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 secure, cared for and cheerful. The pictures consistently show him playing, painting, discovering, out in the garden and having enjoyable.
The team at Little Raccoons are all so welcoming, supportive and understanding. My little boy’s key workers are incredible but they all do an incredible job.
I’d highly suggest Little Raccoons. My little boy started at Little Raccoons Day Childcare centre at 1 year old.

November 4, 2024 at 10:15 amI get the impression from my daughter that it’s a lot of enjoyable and she loves going there. All credit to the hard work of the girls who work in the baby session. The girls who work in the baby section of the childcare centre are excellent.

November 8, 2024 at 10:12 pmMy 3 year old son’s key worker is incredible 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 supportive and responsive with invoicing and other queries. It’s excellent 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 team are all very welcoming 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 adore it there! Remarkable childcare centre would highly suggest!

November 23, 2024 at 4:47 amWe are so cheerful after moving from another childcare centre in the area. It is a pleasure dropping him off in the mornings and seeing how cheerful he is going into class. Updates is excellent and the app is updated on a regular basis during the day. I sense that all the childcare centre educators take a real interest in my kid which is comforting. I would highly suggest this childcare centre to anyone. My son joined this childcare centre back in February and he loves it so much.

November 24, 2024 at 8:19 pmThey 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, cheerful and loves childcare centre. The baby team and in fact, all team including the new manager at Little Raccoons Apsley are just fantastic.

January 29, 2025 at 11:05 amHe has thrived under the guidance of the team 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 team and other kids and my husband and I are really cheerful that we have found such a great childcare centre 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 suggest Little Raccoons, Apsley. My son joined the childcare centre aged nine months in March this year.

February 3, 2025 at 5:28 amThey are welcoming and attentive and have really made my son sense secure and loved and he is consistently discovering new things through enjoyable and laughter. This is an outstanding childcare centre, the facilities are first class, with a excellent outdoor playtime area but what really makes Little Raccoons Day Childcare centre Apsley stand out are the team.

The team consistently do new activities and at the end of each day consistently take the time to go through my daughter’s day with me. The facilities and outdoor area are excellent and my daughter loves the food! Would definitely suggest! Little Racoons is such a lovely childcare centre and my daughter is so cheerful there.

March 2, 2025 at 3:42 pmThe childcare centre is beautifully set up with a excellent outdoor playtime area. The team are all very engaged, welcoming and inviting 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. This is a remarkable childcare centre, my daughter was so cheerful and well cared for.

March 19, 2025 at 10:29 amWe can see his self‑assurance growing and outside of the childcare centre he is getting better at settling into new environments. This is a testimony to all the team for creating a welcoming and supportive atmosphere.
As first-time parents, we were apprehensive about putting our son into childcare centre but since our show-around day, we just knew Little Raccoons Day Childcare centre Apsley was the best place for our son. We have complete trust in the team and sense at ease knowing he is cheerful and well looked after. Our son has attended Little Raccoons Day Childcare centre 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.

March 25, 2025 at 9:15 pmTeam are extremely welcoming and consistently make time to outline events that have happened during the day. Your team have been remarkable in providing us with advice and assistance and we are very grateful for their help. My husband and I have been absolutely thrilled by the care our daughter has received at ‘Little Raccoons’.
Morgan Cross
March 29, 2025 at 2:19 pmThe team were so great at helping him settle in as he struggled a bit at first. Would highly suggest! All the team seem to know my son and what he likes and doesn’t and I sense they really treat them as individuals! Remarkable childcare centre team are so lovely and keep you up to date, our son loves it!

April 5, 2025 at 12:12 pmits 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 delight in 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. We really like the fact that the carers are so involved and full of energy daily for the kids, something that we aspire to having when we are with the Thea.
Winter Ferguson
May 12, 2025 at 12:31 pmThe kids have both loved it and the team have been consistently energetic, enthusiastic, attentive and much loved by the kids. I would say the team are what makes it special and they deserve all the credit for creating this ‘home away from home’ sense for the kids. I would definitely suggest it. We have had a really great journey at Little Raccoons in Apsley over the last five years, having sent our son in 2018 and then our daughter from 2020.

May 22, 2025 at 1:42 pmEverything from social skills to vocabulary has come on faster than I ever imagined. The team are so welcoming to us parents and kids and it is easy to address any queries or questions we have about day-to-day discovering. I can’t praise all the ladies enough for all their work with our kids! Both our kids have been at Little Raccoons and they have truly blossomed during their time at this childcare centre!

June 3, 2025 at 5:16 amTeam make the place what it is but the new manager has really made a positive difference to an already excellent place. I trust them implicitly. Would suggest to anyone – sadly my son leaves in September and I have genuine anxiety about how much he is going to miss Little Raccoons Day Childcare centre. Keep up the excellent work guys. A very well managed childcare centre with lovely team.
