How the monthly figure is calculated.More info
- We work out the total cost across the year and divide by 12, so the figure shown is a smoothed monthly average. In practice, nurseries bill in different ways. Some bill monthly at this average. Others bill weekly, or charge for what happened that week or month, which can vary across the year. Confirm billing details with the nursery when you enquire.

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.

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 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!

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.

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!

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!
With both girls, drop-off has always been easy, they potty trained early and the staff fully supported us during this transition.

With both girls, drop-off has always been easy, they potty trained early and the staff fully supported us during this transition.
They have been great at keeping us updated, with food, development and friendships. Nursery Rhymes offers a scenic setting, lots of wood textures and greenery in their outside spaces. The outside space was invaluable as an extension of what is offered inside. They offer a great variety of food which my children have always enjoyed, nutritious and delicious. Equally, they have always had a great rapport with the chef which I think has always helped.
Finally, we would like to offer a special thanks to key workers. My children display a lot of confidence and willing to learn outside of the nursery provision and this is a huge credit to the team, especially their key workers and the energy they have invested in them.
Nursery Rhymes is the most exceptional nursery school and pre-school. It is a joy to drop my daughter off, knowing her days will be filled with exciting and stimulating activities. She has become more independent through their nurturing care and she enjoys learning new things which is based on her...
Thank you.

I will start off by saying, I sat in the nursery manager's office with tears at the thought of my daughter starting in a few months. I had originally put down we wanted to attend four days a week but my feelings changed when I actually had my daughter. The manager put no pressure on me at all, listened to my concerns and reassured me we could see how my daughter settles in and take it from there. Fast forward my daughter settled in so happily and so quickly. Her face lights up when she sees the building. She talks about her key person and all the babies. They provide wonderful updates on the app and what every parent wants to know if they have napped and have they eaten. What I appreciate the most is when they message to say if my daughter is struggling because then we can make the decision to pick her up early (for example when she was teething). This nursery is perfect fit for all the nervous parents. The baby room is a wonderful space and the staff are lovely.
We couldn’t be happier with Nursery Rhymes. Our daughter started going there at 8 months one day a week and went full time at 11 months. They took so much care to settle her in and she’s always enjoyed her time there. The range and quality of food is really good. They send regular updates...
We couldn’t be happier with Nursery Rhymes. Our daughter started going there at 8 months one day a week and went full time at 11 months. They took so much care to settle her in and she’s always enjoyed her time there. The range and quality of food is really good. They send regular updates throughout the day and also provide us with developmental updates. Our daughter has made strong bonds with all the staff in baby room. I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone thinking of sending their child there.

My child has been attending Nursery Rhymes and started off in the baby room and now in the toddler room. He loves it there and I can see the happiness on his face when we arrive at nursery in the morning to drop him off. They do a range of activities with him, and I can see how much he has developed in terms of his social and personal development. I always look forward to the daily update on what he has been doing. The nursery is very good at keeping parents up to date on the app, nothing is too much bother and they will go out of their way to help in any way they can. I highly recommend the nursery and am so glad my son is here.
Unbelievable nursery. Management really care about their employees and the children. Both my sons have been to this nursery and been cared for amazingly. The carers really make the place what it is!

We’ve had both of our children attend and it’s been fantastic. The staff really make the place a good environment and they always provide great communication. We’ve seen such a development in both children and I’m happy they’re getting the best support.

My daughter has been attending this nursery since she was 9 months old! From the baby room through to the toddler room she has been looked after, nurtured and loved immensely! The key workers are so personable and my daughter kisses me goodbye and runs in every morning with smiles ready for her breakfast. Through the day we are updated with activities and meals consumed! Thank you Nursery Rhymes.

My daughter started Nursery Rhymes when she was nine months old and I was worried as she was too little, but she was very welcomed and looked after very well. The staff are amazing, I couldn’t ask for any better nursery and care they provide to every child from early age. She is toddler now and loves Nursery Rhymes so much, she is excited every morning to go to nursery and play with her friends. She has lots of fun and is learning new things every day. I can clearly see her development is going very well. Updates and observations made by child’s key person are very detailed and this is what every parent wants to see. All I can say that my daughter is very happy being at this nursery and this is best rating I believe.
