December 3, 2018 at 12:00 amLittle Green Rascals Tadcaster Road is absolutely fantastic. The care provided for both of my daughters has been exemplary and I was particularly impressed with the steps taken to prepare my older child for school. They made the transition easy and for that, I am so grateful.
The thought and consideration for the needs of the children as individuals is impressive and the emotional contact and care the staff provide goes above and beyond. Thank you!

March 1, 2019 at 12:00 amMy daughter joined Cheeky hens September 2018, her key worker and staff have really helped her settle and develop her character. Throughout her day I am kept updated via the Famly app and am sent photos of her carrying out activities, it’s reassuring to see how much fun she is having with her friends. The nursery itself is a safe, clean and friendly environment. Would definitely recommend this nursery to other parents!

April 25, 2019 at 12:00 amAs a first-time parent, leaving my 10-month-old at a nursery was a very difficult experience. Fortunately, that feeling didn’t last for very long. Within a few weeks, my son was not only excited to go to nursery, he absolutely fell in love with his key person.
His key worker has been a blessing. She’s beyond sweet and caring and her genuineness is evident in the bond she has formed with my son. She always goes out of her way to make you feel comfortable and at ease.
I love the App that all parents have access to. I can easily check to see what and whether my son has eaten, nappy changes, etc. I don’t have to call the nursery for updates which makes things easier. I also get sent pictures of his activities and updates on his development.
In general, the staff at Little Green Rascals- Tedcaster are brilliant. They’re always very friendly and welcoming. The entire building is always very clean and the food options are admirable.
I would very highly recommend this nursery to anyone!

April 26, 2019 at 12:00 amOur daughter started in the baby room at Little Green Rascals in January 2019 and we have instantly been welcomed into the nursery family. The staff are absolutely gorgeous and so caring towards our little girl and incredibly sensitive to her and our needs. We could not feel happier and more comfortable when we drop her off for her days of fun with the Little Green Rascals team. Thank you for being so wonderful!

April 29, 2019 at 12:00 amMy little girl has gone to Little Green Rascals Tadcaster Road since 9 months and now Bishopthorpe before and after school and school club . The staff are great with kids understanding with parents and helpful. I would not hesitate in recommending Little Green Rascals. My little girl loves it and has learnt a lot in preparation for school and now she is at school.

March 8, 2023 at 12:00 amLittle Green Rascals Tadcaster Road is a local nursery to us. Due to its excellent reputation, we have sent both of our daughters there, with the youngest still in attendance. The nursery has good outside spaces but also takes the children to the local duck pond, a local play area and occasionally onto York Knavesmire.
The food is good and varied, as are the activities.
The only negatives I have are the recent increase in fees and the relative turnover of staff, although with respect to the fees, all meals and products, including nappies and sun cream, are within the fees, whereas other nurseries expect parents to provide these things.

March 8, 2023 at 12:00 amExcellent care from really engaged staff. They are always good with feedback and general communication. The regular reviews are really helpful in understanding my child’s development and providing insight into focus areas.

March 8, 2023 at 12:00 amOur child joined Little Green Rascals Tadcaster Road in the autumn of 2022 as a preschooler and we’ve had a very good experience overall. While there was some staff changeover in our child’s room in the first few months due to illnesses and staff shortages, we always felt that they were being well cared for and that the staff were providing a stimulating and nurturing environment. Now some of the staff challenges have been resolved which has meant increased organisation and communication. Our child is happy at the nursery, with no complaints. The only thing that was a little different than advertised is that they don’t have any animals (although they did just get some Guinea pigs), do forest school (though I believe they are planning to restart in the summer) or have language lessons, as I had read on the Little Green Rascals website. I’m not actually sure how large the outdoor space is as I’ve not seen it, it doesn’t seem huge from the pictures. However, we would still rate it as excellent and recommend it to other families.

March 8, 2023 at 12:00 amFrom the nursery manager to the finance team, to the staff who look after my daughter, and have done since she was eleven months old – they’ve all been brilliant!
Any issues have been dealt with quickly, effectively and supportively and I’m really pleased with how staff seem to consider which key worker might be best for my daughter. She’s formed a close bond with all of them.
She bounds into nursery happily.

March 8, 2023 at 12:00 amMy child transferred to Little Green Rascals Organic Day Nursery – Tadcaster Road in February after three months of unsuccessful settling in another childcare setting.
The personal approach from the key workers and staff, and attention to detail has been fantastic.
My child is taking things at his pace thanks to Little Green Rascals and I am seeing him develop already!

March 9, 2023 at 12:00 amWe’re really happy with the nursery. They encourage independence and our little boy loves that and has developed a lot since joining a few months ago. The food is great and most importantly the staff are lovely and really engaged – so many great activities!

March 9, 2023 at 12:00 amMy boy has been going to Little Green Rascals Tadcaster Road since he was 10 months and his journey throughout the years has been wonderful. He has become very close to his key workers in every room and absolutely loves going to the nursery. The staff are the backbone of this place and you couldn’t ask for more.

March 9, 2023 at 12:00 amReally pleased with Little Green Rascals Tadcaster Road! My daughter has flourished since joining. The staff are welcoming as soon as you walk in and the tell is my daughter’s reaction to going to nursery – it took her about two mornings until she ran in without looking back, which is always a good sign. She loves the staff and her key worker!

March 9, 2023 at 12:00 amWe love Little Green Rascals, my 3rd daughter just started in Wiggly Worms. The level of care is of a very high standard, the staff is great and nothing is too much to ask. They are kind and friendly and very caring toward the children. My 9-year-old went there and still staff are very kind and friendly talking to her. When an issue is raised it is dealt with promptly for the interest of the children. Food is amazing and now we are being offered breakfast on the go for parents which I think it is very thoughtful as we are rushing in the morning to get to work on time. I can’t praise enough this nursery, not perfect but who is?

March 9, 2023 at 12:00 amLittle Green Rascals is a wonderful, nurturing environment for the children that attend. The staff are caring and qualified in their field and my little one loves her days at nursery. As a very anxious first-time mum they provide the reassurance and support that I need that, my precious baby, is in the best place for her development.

March 9, 2023 at 12:00 amThree things that have really impressed me since our daughter became a Wiggly Worm in January:
1. I can’t speak highly enough of the staff. It’s been lovely seeing her striking up a little friendship with her key worker and all of the team.
2. The indoor and outdoor spaces at the nursery are great and so much fun for the little ones to explore and play.
3. The Famly app makes it so easy to keep in touch with the nursery and we absolutely love receiving the daily updates and photos.
Thanks, everyone at Little Green Rascals Organic Day Nursery – Tadcaster Road for all your time, effort and hard work as well as the love and care for our daughter.

March 9, 2023 at 12:00 amMy son has been going to Little Green Rascals for the last 9 months and really enjoys his time at nursery. All his room staff are great and he is always talking about them at home. I trust the nursery with his care completely.

March 14, 2023 at 12:00 amStaff at Little Green Rascals are very enthusiastic and keen to get to know each child individually. There are new activities for the children to engage in every day. The meals are varied and healthy.

March 15, 2023 at 12:00 amLittle Green Rascals Organic Day Nursery Tadcaster Road is a fantastic nursery with loads of learning opportunities, equipment and fabulous staff. I feel that their downsides are probably due to lack of staff which can result in consistent communication with parents. I have found a massive drop off in communication from my child moving from one room to the next. The nursery caregivers are excellent and my child has a lovely bond with them. But I’d like the see the staff cherished more and I think I would then feel the value over other nurseries asking for a lesser day rate.

April 7, 2023 at 12:00 amLittle Green Rascals Organic Day Nursery – Tadcaster Road is so special. I was very nervous to send my son to full-time nursery at 11 months, but Little Green Rascals Organic Day Nursery is perfect and I’m so glad we picked there.
The app is fantastic, the team keep you in the loop and the facilities are wonderful, but the real heart of Little Green Rascals are the staff. The office manager gave me a hug during first day tears, and the staff in Wiggly Worms are just fabulous. They kept us fully informed in the build-up to my son starting and eased him in carefully. They’re extremely hard working and I’ve no idea how they do what they do.
Finally, there are not enough words to describe my gratitude for my son’s key worker. She is so genuinely invested in his happiness and wellbeing, and my son adores her. What more could you hope for when you leave your heart with someone to take care of each day? One day he will move on from nursery but I’ll always remember the impact his key worker made on his little life (and ours). Thank you Little Green Rascals!
