Welcome to Little Rascals Pre-Prep, Tunbridge Wells
Little Rascals Pre-Prep is situated in the heart of Royal Tunbridge Wells, on Clanricarde Gardens. The Pre-Prep is housed in a stunning Edwardian converted house and is conveniently located for both local residents and commuters, being only a short walk from Tunbridge Wells train station.
We are open full-time from 7:30am – 6:30pm caring for children from 3 years to 5 years.
The Pre-Prep is split over two floors with the younger children on the lower floor. When developmentally ready, children transition to the upper floor. Here, activities are play based, and centred around school readiness and preparing the children for the next big milestone in their development and learning.
The Pre-Prep has an outside play area where children explore and discover the natural world around them. This provides countless opportunities for the children to investigate the awe and wonder of outdoor learning.
The daily curriculum and standards comply with our registration on the Ofsted Early Years Register, which monitors the overall quality standards of the early years provision, in line with the principles and requirements of the ‘Statutory Framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage’.
Taking care of our staff’s wellbeing is of prime importance to us and we are proud to have been voted the 14th best place to work in the whole of the UK.

Best wishes from Charlotte and the Little Rascals Pre-Prep Team.
We are pleased to report that the majority of our children have now returned to Nursery following the relaxation of social distancing measures by Government. We recognise that this is a continues to be a worrying and confusing time for parents of young children and that some of the information in the media may add to your concerns.
The Nursery is satisfied, having completed our own comprehensive risk assessment, that it is as safe as possible for our children to return and for our Nursery to remain open, but we are alert to the ongoing risks.
We have reached this conclusion after careful examination of the data at a local level, a detailed reopening plan based on advice from Public Health England (PHE) and an evaluation of the risk to our staff, based on their health and household risk factors.
The UK Chief Medical Officers have issued a statement on education and childcare reopening which states that there is a very low rate of severe disease in children from coronavirus (COVID-19).
However, we thought it would be helpful to provide you with additional information on the more localised picture.
LEARNING
Our main aim is to provide a secure and happy environment where children can learn through play.
SETTLING IN
Your first settling in sessions will give you and your child an opportunity to get to know your child’s Key Person.
OUTDOORS
We regularly offer opportunities for learning outdoors – giving children the freedom to explore and be physically active.
FOOD
Our menus are designed by the nursery chef and a paediatric dietician to meet the needs of each age group.
Above and Beyond Educational Experiences

- Wake up and shake up – an activity to energise the brain using cross-lateral movements

- Community visits which allow children to experience social activities outside the nursery setting
- A range of bespoke activities which promote your child’s well-being and confidence, including Emotions Boxes and Chatterboxes
