Little Rascals has been providing quality childcare since September 2006 and have been recognised by OfSTED as GOOD in all our inspections. We have an excellent reputation in the local community.

We pride ourselves on our high staff retention as they are our most valuable resource. Our team reflect our diverse community and speak English, Albanian, Bengali, Gujarati, Hindi, Portuguese, Punjabi & Urdu.

We provide a friendly, safe and caring environment offering lovely large open play spaces and a secure private garden, that is fully covered by a soft play surface to keep them safe. We even have a large canopy to enjoy this space whatever the weather!

We work hard to create the right environment for your child to be a happy and confident learner by making sure they feel welcome and safe. We provide activities and resources to engage them and stimulate their development.

We welcome children with English as a second language and children with special needs.

We hope our website gives you a flavour of what a special place Little Rascals is but of course nothing beats a personal visit to see for yourself. Please contact Lesley on 07766 705655 or email info@littlerascalsilford.co.uk to arrange a visit.

"Observed beautiful, caring interactions between children and practitioners. The staff team are extremely experienced and loyal."  London Borough of Redbridge

"Little Rascals has been the best start for all three of my children who attended from the age of 2. It is such a nurturing environment, due to its ethos of giving children freedom to learn through play. As they got older they were introduced to phonics and numbers in such a fun way and this helped them get ready for reception with ease. Additionally, they helped with toilet training and independence around eating. All of the staff are well trained and above all wonderfully kind. I would highly recommend Little Rascals as a great part of a child's life!" Salma

"Little Rascals is a brilliant nursery! The staff are fantastic and the children have so much to do during the day. Thanks to the wonderful caring staff my daughter is now so much more confident. Lesley, the Manager, is always on hand to help and answer my questions. I cannot thank Little Rascals enough!" Sharmin
