Review from Nicole C (Mother of Child) published on 11 February 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our little girl started at this nursery in June 2025 and we honestly couldn't be happier with our choice. The staff are incredibly caring and nurturing, and it's clear they genuinely love and care for the children.

The communication is excellent. We receive regular updates throughout the day via the app, which is so reassuring as a parent. Handover at drop-off and pick-up is always thorough and thoughtful, and we feel fully informed about our child's day.

Most importantly, our baby has formed such a genuine bond with the staff, which speaks volumes about the warmth and environment of the nursery and also of the individuals that work here especially Vicky, Chloé, Lucy & Amberley. We feel completely confident leaving our child in their care and would highly recommend this nursery to any parent.

Review from Hannah P (Mother of Child) published on 10 February 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We couldn't be happier with our experience at this nursery. The staff are caring, attentive, and genuinely invested in the children's wellbeing and development. Our child has settled in beautifully from the start and is always happy and excited to attend, which says everything.

The nursery provides a safe, nurturing environment with a great balance of structured learning and play. Activities are engaging, age-appropriate, and clearly designed to support early development and confidence. Communication with parents is excellent - we're kept well informed about our child's progress, daily activities, and any milestones.

It's reassuring to know our child is so well looked after, and we feel confident leaving them in such capable and kind hands. We would highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a supportive, friendly, and professional setting for their child.

Overall Experience

Our son has been at Nursery Rhymes for 5 months (joined at 12 months). He absolutely loves the babyroom and the staff are wonderful. I have picked friends' children up from various nurseries over the years and this one is head and shoulders above any others that I have been to. I feel that rather that simply just being looked after, Wilf is very much being nurtured. We look forward to seeing him continue to develop in the toddler room

My son has settled from the baby room into the toddler room seamlessly. A particular staff member has been absolutely fabulous and he has such a great rapport with her! He absolutely loves his time at nursery.

Nursery Rhymes is the best choice I made for my son!

Thank you so much for all of your hard work in creating the best learning through play environment for the children.

Overall Experience
My baby has been with Nursery Rhymes - Stoneygate since around September 2024. After visiting various nurseries across Leicester and reading hundreds of reviews for various places, it was a no-brainer to join Nursery Rhymes. Out of all of the places I visited, this one stood out from the crowd!

I was so apprehensive for my baby to start nursery, but I was made to feel at ease and the transition was almost seamless, which was fantastic. My son has grown even further in confidence and excelling in all areas of development and the team at Nursery Rhymes have been a huge support for my son, me and my partner. My little boy looks forward to going to nursery and has an amazing relationship with all of the staff there. I could not recommend them enough!

Review from R M (Mother of Child) published on 2 March 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our son has been attending Nursery Rhymes - Stoneygate since he was 9 months old (he's now 2 and a half) and we couldn't be happier with every aspect of care provided.
All members of staff are friendly, enthusiastic and take a genuine interest in his growth and development. The food on offer is healthy and all specific requirements have been met without any trouble whatsoever. Various other milestones and requests have also been handled with patience and consistency, such as toilet training, health requirements and nap times.

We will soon be sending our daughter without hesitation and would recommend the nursery to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy childcare option.

Overall Experience

Nursery Rhymes - Stoneygate have been great at helping our baby settle in and thrive. We've noticed great improvements in her gross motor skills since she started as they provide a safe environment to encourage and motivate movement. The staff are all very friendly and the nursery has a real family feel.

Excellent nursery, my child is so so happy here. The most caring and nurturing environment. Staff are very warm, compassionate and very attentive and attuned to my child's needs.
It has been great to watch my daughter grow in confidence, we receive comprehensive communication, observations and insights around her wellbeing, educational development with all activities carried out in a friendly, fun manner.

We are so fortunate to have such a wonderful preschool/nursery.

Review from Sameera M (Mother of Child) published on 3 December 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

A nursery/preschool should be a place where you feel confident enough to leave your child in a safe, healthy and happy environment and where you know your child will be looked after by the people working there. This nursery ticked all the boxes for us. From the moment you walk in you can feel a sense of calm which says a lot about a place with lots of children playing. Our little girl started preschool when she was around 3 and a half years old so we were nervous about her settling in considering she had never been in this sort of environment but she managed to thrive after only a few settling-in sessions. The staff work with you to cater to the needs of your child and you feel your child is in capable and safe hands. After seeing more than 6 or 7 nurseries, we were glad to have chosen Nursery Rhymes for our daughter.

Fantastic nursery and fantastic staff. Great support from our key workers. They have a great approach to play and learning and the team are always willing to support your child in their development. My daughter has learnt so much through her time at Nursery Rhymes and has so many stories and songs to tell me about when she gets home. The outdoor facilities are great too!

I cannot express how amazing Nursery Rhymes is and how incredibly nurturing our journey with our daughter has been here. She started in the baby room at 6 months old and seeing her grow and develop as she now starts the transition from the toddler room to preschool is everything we could have hoped for and more. The staff are incredible and I genuinely feel like it is one big family. We can't wait to see what the next adventure brings!

Review from Vaishali T (Mother of Child) published on 10 October 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I am so pleased that we chose this nursery. Me and my husband remember coming to see it and knowing our daughter needed to come here, every child was so happy and that has remained true for every single week that our daughter has been here. The staff are really considerate and take all the hard work off you. When our daughter started in the baby room all the staff made the transition super easy and gave us thorough updates throughout the day. When the time came for our daughter to move to the toddler room again it was made super easy and she settled really quickly. Her key worker gives us a thorough update over lunchtime with lots of pictures and our daughter is always laughing and having fun, she eats well at the nursery and sleeps well better than what she does at home. Her development has significantly improved and we are always told what the nursery are working on with her and we do the same at home. I can't thank the staff enough!

Overall Experience
Baby number two and we are extremely happy with the continued high-quality care from the nursery. The staff are wonderful and it's great to see the same staff members in the toddler room as we had with our eldest, making the drop-offs with baby 2 easier and familiar.
One of the staff has been wonderful with our baby and the bond they have is lovely.

Very happy with our decision to send our children to Nursery Rhymes.

Overall Experience

I am very impressed with the nursery and the assigned key workers. Our child loves going to nursery and looks forward to it every day she is there. I have been pleased with the level of information we get throughout the day and the high level of oversight provided daily. I feel like the key worker really cares for our child and feel very happy leaving her with them each morning. Thank you for making it as smooth as possible on handovers and collection times.

Overall Experience

We are very happy with Nursery Rhymes, we have used this nursery since our older daughter (now 5!) was 7 months old and now have our second daughter there too. It is a beautiful, family-run nursery and we always feel like our girls are so well looked after. The staff are brilliant and take such great care of them, and we have recommended them to everyone!! From the baby room to preschool, they have been great. The nursery is a lovely facility, the food is excellent and we always feel well-informed. Thank you to nursery rhymes!

Review from Amit M (Father of Child) published on 30 September 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I couldn't be happier with my experience at Nursery Rhymes. From the moment we enrolled my son, the staff has been incredibly warm and welcoming. The environment is bright and cheerful, filled with engaging activities that foster learning and creativity.
The curriculum is well-structured, balancing playtime and educational activities perfectly. My son has shown remarkable progress in both social skills and early literacy since starting. The teachers are not only attentive but also genuinely care about each child's development, making a real effort to create a nurturing atmosphere.
Additionally, the nursery maintains excellent communication with parents, providing regular updates and feedback. It's clear they prioritise both the children's well-being and the parents' peace of mind.

I highly recommend Nursery Rhymes to any parent looking for a safe and stimulating environment for their little ones!
