What Parents Say

Rascal’s is like a little extension of my girls family. It’s is a wonderful, welcoming, safe, fun and inclusive environment. My children have been so happy there from the baby room into toddlers and then preschool. They have learnt so many new skills and made lasting friendships. All the staff are so lovely and always have time to listen and talk about the children or offer advice. As a working parent it’s such a reassurance to know how well they are being looked after
Laura
Leaving your baby with a group of (effectively) strangers, is one of the hardest things you’ll ever do! But, luckily for me, the amazing staff at Rascals made the whole experience so much less traumatic. Feeling assured they will be looked after, and genuinely cared about is priceless. I looked at lots of nurseries before sending my daughter to Rascals, but Rascals just “felt” right. 2 years later it was time to do the same for my son and I didn’t hesitate about sending him to Rascals too. My children have very different personalities but both of them have thrived at Rascals, and had/are having, a great time there too. So much so, my daughter has completed her nursery journey but loves the place so much she still goes back for holiday club!!
Hannah
Rascals has been fantastic for both my children. They both have formed strong relationships with all the people there and love coming to nursery (hard to get them to leave sometimes!). Being a working mum, it's always hard leaving your children. But knowing they are at Rascal's having fun, makes it that bit easier. I'll be sad when my youngest leaves.
Danni
My son had his last day at nursery today having been there for just over 3 years. I can not recommend the nursery enough, he has come on leaps and bounds thanks to Rascals. The staff couldn’t be nicer and I couldn’t have trusted anyone more to help and mould my little boy. We will miss everyone so much.
