Nursery Rhymes is an absolutely fantastic daycare! We were thrilled by what we had heard prior to enrolling our first and it was all indeed spot on. The management and the nursery staff are all amazing and have looked after our child very well. The meals are always nutritious, the activities are educational, we receive daily photos of our child’s day, which we always look forward to. Additionally, the staff are great listeners and are always willing to adapt to our child’s individual needs! Most importantly, my child always leaves with a big smile on her face! Thank you Nursery Rhymes!
Great place for your child’s development and amazing facilities. The leader of the baby room has been great with how she’s been with our child, with regular updates of her day and our child is now settling in well. Thank you.

Young teachers who are enthusiastic in early childhood education and are the top experience for my kid. She has been loved by teachers and received good care from them. The key person shows great responsibility to my daughter, which earned full trust and special attachment from the kids.

My husband and I are so happy we chose this nursery for our daughter. Her face lights up with excitement every time we approach the nursery and it's all thanks to her incredible key worker and the nurturing environment they provide. It's clear that the staff genuinely care about each child's well-being and happiness. Communication with the nursery has been exceptional. We love receiving regular updates, messages and adorable pictures of our daughter's activities through the app. It's such a heartwarming feeling to be connected with her throughout the day. One thing that truly sets this nursery apart is their flexibility and willingness to accommodate our daughter's routine. They have gone above and beyond to ensure her comfort and happiness, making us feel confident and reassured in our choice. It's clear that the entire team is dedicated to creating a safe, loving and stimulating environment for all the children. Thank you for all that you do!

We have sent our son for a year now and overall we have been very pleased with everything about Nursery Rhymes. One staff member from baby room and another practitioner in toddler room are exceptionally good! They are very prompt with any questions when asked about our child. Had a very good experience with the management team as well when we needed them. Overall, would certainly recommend this nursery.
3 of my children have attended Nursery Rhymes and we couldn’t be more pleased with this nursery. They have provided a home-from-home environment and the staff are amazing. The care and attention the children receive is second to none. We couldn’t ask for more. Thank you so much to all at Nursery...

I can’t recommend this nursery enough! The staff is lovely and they take amazing care of our little girl. They provide a variety of nutritious meals, we get ongoing updates of her daily activities and a short verbal report of her day when we pick her up. They always listen and adapt to changes and...
We also get longer reports every now and then showing our girl’s development progress, which is always exciting to read. She is learning so much and thriving there, developing social skills and already making friends.
Seeing your child’s excitement about being dropped off there in the morning speaks volumes. She would run towards her teacher with a smile, not so keen to be picked up in the evening I can say!
I’m very happy we picked this nursery, I haven’t had a single day of worry while our girl has been in their care.
Nursery Rhymes is such a lovely nursery with an amazing environment. My little girl absolutely loves it and has gained so much from going. It has such a family feel and would highly recommend the nursery to anyone.

Nursery Rhymes is a great nursery and I highly recommend it. My little boy started in the baby room and is currently in preschool. He absolutely loves it there and every morning he has a smile knowing that he will enjoy his day. My twin girls started last year and they have settled in so well. They love going there and I know they are well looked after. The staff are so professional and always going above and beyond to help us with carrying the twins in and out of the car. I also never feel rushed with the handovers and I can see they genuinely love having the kids there. So glad my kids go to this nursery and I honestly couldn't recommend it enough.

Our daughter joined Nursery Rhymes when she was 9 months old. Previously we were on their waiting list whilst she attended another nursery. We removed her from the previous nursery as Nursery Rhymes was always our first choice. Nursery Rhymes reputation is impeccable and the only place we wanted our daughter to attend knowing she would be safe, looked after and educated. Our family and friends' children have all attended Nursery Rhymes. Being in education myself it is crucial for me to know how my daughter is progressing and if she is meeting her targets. The Nursery keeps us regularly updated on its policies and procedures, daily updates, observations, and areas of development in the early year's framework and pictures via their app. The app is a great tool to share information quickly and puts parents' minds at rest during the day. During collection at the end of each day, staff updates us on our daughter's day. We have also had a progress meeting where we discuss progress.

My son started at Nursery Rhymes after he turned one and he is currently in the toddler room. The staff settled him really well with their nurturing abilities. My son has additional needs, which the nursery have supported brilliantly, especially his current key person. The environment is warm and welcoming with lots of space for the many activities created for the learning and development of the children. I’m kept well informed of my son's day via the app and I’m always provided with a verbal update upon pick up. My two older children also attended Nursery Rhymes and loved every single moment there!
We only have praise for Nursery Rhymes. It has a loving, nurturing, playful environment with confident staff who have a genuine fondness for the children. The variety of educational activities is exceptional and the communication of my child’s development is really very good indeed.

Both our children have loved attending Nursery Rhymes and we continue to be extremely happy with all aspects of the setting.
Excellent nursery. Our son has been with Nursery Rhymes since the baby room and is now in pre-school and the support, time, and care every member of staff has given him has been exceptional. Lovely setting, highly recommend.

My daughter started Nursery Rhymes as a baby and I can now see why the staff are so highly spoken of.

My daughter started Nursery Rhymes as a baby and I can now see why the staff are so highly spoken of. As a first time parent, I was nervous as we approached her settling in sessions, but as soon as we stepped into the baby room I felt at ease and confident in the staff that she would be in the best possible hands. From keeping me updated over the Famly app to our conversations at pick up time, I am so pleased with my decision to send my daughter to Nursery Rhymes as I can see how much of an impact the amazing practice has had on her confidence and her social skills.
Absolutely amazing nursery, we are so pleased we chose this nursery as we were torn between two. Exceptional level of care. My little girl keeps asking everyday 'is it school day' makes us feel so peaceful leaving her in safe hands and being cared for. Lastly, you can't forget the chef who makes...
Absolutely amazing nursery, we are so pleased we chose this nursery as we were torn between two. Exceptional level of care. My little girl keeps asking everyday 'is it school day' makes us feel so peaceful leaving her in safe hands and being cared for. Lastly, you can't forget the chef who makes amazing fresh food every day in the building. You can smell it from the door. My little girl waves bye to him too. It's just such a family environment.

We have sent both of our boys to the nursery and feel very grateful for the experience they’ve both had. From the moment both boys have entered the nursery, they’re welcomed with the warmth, smiles and reassurance if their met keyworkers. Communications through the parents' app have made it easier to stay in touch and see what our children have been up to during the day. We are so fortunate to have a nursery which has felt like a ‘home away from home’. The facilities are modern, clean and age appropriate in each room to help encourage skills and development across each stage. The garden space has always been our boys’ favourite and the nursery has done exceptionally well to enhance all the outdoor facilities to create such an inviting space for the children to play and explore. We have always loved how all meals are cooked fresh on site and include a range of nutrition daily, to help encourage different flavours in our children's diet - the chef does a great job!

We highly recommend Nursery Rhymes, the care and communication from the staff is exceptional. The nursery has a lovely, homely feel to it and our son has thrived learning key skills and gaining confidence in social interactions with other children and forming wonderful bonds with staff and children alike. The nursery is well equipped to allow the children to explore their imagination and their potential.
Our son has attended Nursery Rhymes since he was 9 months old (he started in the Baby Room) and his dad and I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all so much for all of your hard work and dedication.

Our son has attended Nursery Rhymes since he was 9 months old (he started in the Baby Room) and his dad and I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all so much for all of your hard work and dedication.
Our intention, in starting with you, was for our son to be simply happy and well cared for and you have exceeded our expectations in every possible way.
Our son has been supported with kindness and professionalism through every single one of his developmental milestones. At every stage you have consulted with and communicated with us to ensure he received the best, most tailored, care possible. I believe this is why he is such a happy, chatty boy.
Thank you so much for your hard work, care and professionalism in supporting Harry through his early years.

My son moved into the toddler room in March 2022. The staff helped him adjust to life in a new home and new city. They read his file from the previous nursery and all helped to make the settling-in process very easy for him. Within a day, he felt at home. They also took into account his intolerance to gluten and have a special menu for him. My son says Hi to the chef and clearly appreciate the food. He has formed strong bonds with the carers particularly, his key worker, and often talks about her at home. I'm very impressed that she has made us a place to go guide and has helped him make cards for special occasions such as daddy's birthday, father's day etc. The management team are always present and the team are always available for a chat and to check in with me to see how he is doing. I appreciate the family atmosphere of the nursery where it is a home away from home and would like to take the opportunity to thank everyone for making it a pleasant experience for us.
