We couldn't be happier with our child's nursery. From the very beginning, the team has created such a warm, welcoming, and nurturing environment that truly feels like a second home.
The development we've seen in our child has been amazing - not just academically, but socially and emotionally too. They come home every day happy, confident, and full of stories about what they've learned and explored.
The range of activities is fantastic, with a great balance of learning, creativity, and play. It's clear that a lot of thought goes into keeping the children engaged and stimulated.
The staff are exceptional - caring, attentive, and genuinely passionate about what they do. They take the time to understand each child as an individual, which makes a huge difference.
Overall, it's a lovely nursery with a positive atmosphere, high-quality care, and a team you can truly trust. We feel very lucky to have found it.

My daughter has been at Nursery Rhymes for just over a year and I only have positive things to say! She settled right in after moving from another nursery, with all of the staff welcoming her and settling her in. She has an incredible bond with her key worker Emma, as well as the other staff both in class and in the office. The communication back to parents on learning opportunities is always appreciated and the nutritious food goes down a treat, with my daughter often asking me to cook a dish the same way as she has it as school! The premises are amazing and always exceptionally clean. There is just the best feeling in the school and I feel confident that my daughter is getting the best start in life by attending this friendly nursery.

Communication with us as parents has been excellent - we really appreciate the regular updates through the app, especially all the photos that show what she's been up to during the day. It's reassuring and lovely to feel so connected.
The nursery environment itself is fantastic - a really thoughtfully designed space with a great layout that encourages play, learning, and exploration. There's always a wide variety of engaging activities, and we especially value the time the children spend outdoors.
Most importantly, our daughter absolutely loves coming here, which says it all. We couldn't ask for a better place for her to grow and thrive.

We are so pleased that our son attends Nursery Rhymes. He is truly thriving and has come so far since he has started, due to the wonderful staff's dedication and care, the incredible activities that support his development as well as the nutritious meals served. Communication from the team is excellent. We get timely, thoughtful updates and lovely pictures of our son through the app: from tracking his sleep, recording what he has eaten and pictures that show him truly happy and engaging happily in all sorts of creative activities. We feel truly lucky our son attends NR. The staff are exceptional and have supported our son so well. They are so professional, patient and caring, which has made a huge impact on our child's growing confidence. There is a close family feeling within the nursery, which is one of the reasons I chose to send my son there. We would highly recommend NR to anyone who wants a supportive and nurturing environment for their child. Thank you NR and Karen!

It's such a caring environment and the children are so excited to attend each day.

We can't recommend Nursery Rhymes enough. From the lovely key workers, the informative daily updates to the fantastic food from the chef. Our girls have both thrived here and our eldest was well prepared for starting school.

I cannot speak highly enough of Nursery Rhymes. My granddaughter Ayaana, now 16 months old, has attended for around 9 months and the progress she has made is wonderful to see.
The staff are incredible, caring, attentive and excellent at encouraging learning through engaging activities tailored to each child. They truly understand Ayaana and the communication has been reassuring from the very start.
When I collect her, staff especially Vicky, Chloe and Amberly always speak so fondly of Ayaana. She often wants to stay with them, which says everything about how happy and loved she feels. Regular updates and photos give us a real peace of mind.
As a grandma, I feel completely reassured knowing Ayaana is safe, cared for and thriving.A heartfelt thank you to all the wonderful staff at Nursery Rhymes.

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.

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.

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!

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.
