Overall Experience

My daughter has been at Rocking Horse for a few months and she had come along so much since joining. I can not fault the staff, they are always very welcoming in the morning and my daughter seems to have formed a real bond with them.

Overall Experience

My son has been in Rocking Horse for nearly 2 years and absolutely loves it. He goes in every day with a smile on his face, excited to see the staff who support him and the friends he has made. I feel like the staff know him well- his likes, his dislikes and how to comfort him and make him laugh. I'll

be really sad for the day he has to move on from nursery as it has been such a fantastic experience for him

Overall Experience

Amazing experience so far with the rocking horse! My daughter has been here since January and has settled in really well. She had a rocky month with not wanting to leave me at first but the ladies in her room were so reassuring with me and my daughter. She loves going and I feel has come along so much

in the 4 months she has been here!

Overall Experience

My daughter has attended the nursery since she was 2, going from stars to buddies.
The staff are amazing and get know each individual child.
I can not fault one of the staff at all. She is brilliant with the kids. My daughter loves her. You can tell she really cares and loves her job. She is an

asset to the nursery. My daughter is going to miss her terribly when she starts school in September.

Overall Experience

Like any parent I was nervous to put my daughter into nursery, we visited afew and instantly knew Rocking Horse was the place for my little girl. The first few drop offs she was upset which made me feel awful, however the updates from the staff and pictures on the app reassured me that she was having

a fantastic time! The staff make so much effort with the activities for the children and keeping them busy through out the day!
I can't thank the girls in baby room enough for all they do they are amazing and I couldn't be happier with the care they give to my daughter she is so happy there and is thriving x

from J C (Father of Child) published on 27 April 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My son started at this nursery in March 2024 and for the past year I have noticed a massive change in his development, he is now completing 35 48 or even 70 piece jigsaws without any help. His communication has developed impeccably too. My son has also made a lot of friends as he has become more socially

involved.
The staff have helped massively with any concerns we have had regarding personal issues, potty training and other issues or concerns we have had.
When I go to collect him on a Friday evening he is either outside as he really enjoys outside play, depending on the weather, or he will be in his room enjoying games and playing with friends.
The staff are friendly, always greeted with a smile, I get a full days feedback about his meals, how he's been and what he's enjoyed doing during the day.
I'm very glad my partner and I decided to move him from his previous nursery.

Overall Experience

Both of my children went (and my youngest still goes) to Rocking Horse. The staff have always been nothing but amazing, friendly and welcoming. I know that any child that is left in their care is treated as one of their own, and as a mother I don't think you could wish for much more. I can't recommend

the nursery enough x

from Nagwa B (Mother of Child) published on 27 April 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

The worest nursery ever, my son is vegetarian and I mentioned that in the application, but he asked me to change that if I need them to try other food and I did, but unfortunately it was a trap as they kept offer him the usual daily food (chicken nugets, cheese sandwich...etc.) and he refuse it, they

never try another food and keeping him hungry until reach home around 6pm. He used to go directly to the kitchen crying and pick anything in front of him from his usual food. Over than that what it makes me took the decision to withdraw him immediately from the nursery is when he came with a bite mark on his face! Terrible experience.

Reply from Lianne, Finance Manager at S4YC @ Rocking Horse Day NurseryThank you for your feedback. We take all dietary requirements seriously and followed the guidance provided at enrollment. No concerns about food were raised with us during your child's time at the nursery. Regarding the bite mark, a full investigation was carried out in line with our policies and no evidence was found to support the allegation. We pride ourselves on creating a safe and nurturing environment and take all concerns seriously. We are disappointed that this review appears to follow the legal action we initiated for unpaid fees. We remain committed to maintaining high standards of care for all children and open communication with our families. If you would like to discuss this matter further, we welcome you to contact us directly.

from R P (Mother of Child) published on 14 January 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

I was very concerned about my child being in a nursery environment. As days passed I have witnessed to her interactions for different activities in nursery. It is nothing but involvement of baby room staff. Me and her dad will always be grateful for your contributions in her journey. The care and attention

the baby room staff were given was exceptional. Since my daughter was a complicated kid staff were needed more patience and care. They absolutely loved to do it happily and they were always ready to be trained for her. The attitude of her looking after staff made us hesitant to drop out from nursery. We know she will miss you for sure.

from A L (Mother of Child) published on 22 November 2024 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My child was in this nursery from 9 months to 3 years. From start to finish she has been well taken care of by each room's staff.
I would like to say that her focus team member in Rainbow Room is a great credit to the nursery and one of the reasons I did not take my child out of the nursery when I

learned of there being a couple of instances I was not happy with.
Stars Room has truly been an amazing room for my child to grow, the most personal of all relationships between staff and parents I have felt. So much care and attention was given to my child, along with all the other children.
I have marked cleanliness down for the fact I feel that the outside areas could have better upkeep from external help, not against the staff upkeep at all.
I have marked food, due to the drastic difference from when my child started here, she was having variance and substantial meals, now the children are on pre-ordered meals that my child has not enjoyed at all.

Overall Experience

My little boy absolutely adores going to nursery here and I feel so happy knowing he's being so well looked after and enjoying his time here. The staff members know him very well and are always thinking up fun activities to do with him and he is fed so well. Updates are fantastic and the building itself

has a lovely homely feel to it.

from Jenna S (Mother of Child) published on 20 February 2024 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My 1 year old loves Rocking Horse. He has been there since 4 months old and I have never been worried about him there. The staff are all so lovely and my boy loves them to bits. He is there a lot so they are like family to us. Any queries I have are always dealt with and communication is easygoing as

staff are so kind and will accommodate anything as best they can. Only reason not giving 5 stars is because there was a rocky time last year when S4YC took over and families and existing staff noted that the policies were very different and it has taken some getting used to, especially financially as prices went up and there was some difficulties with the new payment system. The booking system is also quite different as we use an app, but it can be clumsy. It is due to the exceptional staff and their care that my son remains at this nursery. I cannot fault anything except for the technical issues.

Overall Experience

My little girl started nursery in January and as a very anxious mum, I was so nervous about her not settling in. All of the staff were so reassuring and lovely to me and made it that little bit easier to leave her. She was very unsettled in the first area we tried her in which the staff picked up on

straight away so we decided to try her in a room with smaller children and now she absolutely loves it there. She has such a nice connection with her main carer and it just reassures me so much. I get lots of updates throughout the day which is just perfect and makes my whole day seeing how happy my little girl is. 10/10 would recommend this nursery to anyone.

Overall Experience

My child has been in Rocking Horse now since he was 9 months old. He has changed from babies to tots classes. He enjoys his time in the nursery and comes home singing lots of nursery rhymes that he has learnt. All of the staff we have met have been very friendly and welcoming and welcome my child with

a smile and a big hello in the morning. The playrooms are very well set out and have a variety for the children to do and I love that they encourage outdoor play too.

Overall Experience

I was slightly nervous following the takeover but can honestly say how happy I am with the nursery and the teachers who take care of my little girl. She’s come on leaps and bounds since attending and loves her days there. It makes it easier seeing how happy she is from the photos on the app and tracking

of what she’s ate/slept. The staff are all friendly and helpful so could not recommend more, thank you.

Great experience so far. Our little girl is in the babies room and each day participates in developmental activities to which we have noticed has helped her develop greatly since attending. Clean facilities, experienced and friendly teachers and regular updates which is nice to see how she is getting
