We can’t speak highly enough of this nursery. We started using Nursery Rhymes in 2018 and they have always provided the best care for both of our children. The staff are fully in tune with their needs and they have nurtured them in kind and loving ways. Each day is full of fun and learning and it is always so lovely to hear that their days have been guided by the child’s own interests. We would whole heartily recommend this nursery.
Both of my daughters have had a wonderful time at Nursery Rhymes. The staff are always supportive and take the time to understand each child and their needs. My eldest daughter is now at school and still talks about her key worker! Thanks for taking such good care of them.
Our son started at Nursery Rhymes when he was 11 months old and we couldn’t be happier with the care and support we have all received. The app used to keep us updated on his day to day activities along with his personal development is fantastic and really helps ease any worries you may have. The staff are so friendly and our little one has taken to them all so quickly, it’s reassuring to know there is someone there to comfort him if needed. In the baby room, it appears to be very hands-on with fun activities inside and outside every day that keep them entertained and their minds stimulated. We couldn’t fault the nursery in any way and are so happy that we managed to get a place there!
My child has been at the nursery since he was 9months old and our experience with the nursery has been nothing but excellent. His development whilst at the nursery has excelled and has really grown his own independence. He loves going into nursery and talks about nursery and his key workers with excitement.
He has grown so much and learnt so much, particularly whilst he has been in the preschool room. I don’t mean particularly phonics or maths (although he has learnt these really well), but he has been taught to be a kind, considerate child. The preschool team were instrumental in him learning to express his emotions, during what has been a really hard year for the children (and everyone else). They are inclusive with every aspect of learning and encourage inquisitive, curious children.
Their affection and patience for the children is evident and the staff foster lovely relationships with their children. We will be very sad to say goodbye to nursery rhymes in the summer when he heads to school.
Nursery Rhymes - Leicester provides a warm and loving atmosphere for children where they can learn and nurture. Excellent food and amazing staff. My daughter always has a great time. It gives me piece of mind to know she is in good care.
Picking Nursery Rhymes for my son's nursery was definitely the best decision we made. It has been a great experience, not only for my son, but for us as parents too. The nursery has always met our needs and always addressed anything promptly. My son has built great relationships at the nursery and has really grown into a confident individual.
Nursery Rhymes - Leicester has exceeded my expectations and I would definitely recommend it to all of my friends. My son loves all the activities and outdoor space, as well as the great food which he always mentions on pick-up! The staff are all incredible and go above and beyond to ensure our son is happy and comfortable. His key worker spends lots of time developing a relationship with him and genuinely wants to get to know him and his interests. During Covid-19, we have felt very reassured with the procedures put in place and can see the commitment of all the staff who work there.
My daughter has been with Nursery Rhymes - Leicester for three years now and we were so grateful to have found such a great place for my daughter to spend her crucial early years, we visited a few nurseries and we chose Nursery Rhymes - Leicester as we had a great feeling about the place and were fully confident that it is somewhere where she would flourish and be happy. Every single staff member we have come in contact with has been amazingly attentive and caring, my daughter has made some great friendships along the way, she loves the fun activities and play both indoors and outdoors and the excellent variety of meals on offer, has kept meal times exciting and interesting. I could not recommend this nursery highly enough, thanks to everyone at Nursery Rhymes - Leicester for taking great care of our daughter every week!
Really happy with our daughter's nursery and her key person is the loveliest girl! All of the baby room team are polite and welcoming and our daughter is happy to go to any of them with open arms. We’re looking forward to when we are able to go inside the nursery and see everything in action but very impressed so far and so grateful we managed to get a place for our daughter here.
We are delighted with the environment that the wonderful team at Nursery Rhymes - Leicester provides for our daughter. Over the last three years we have seen our daughter flourish. Our daughter sees nursery as an extension of our family and can’t wait to go in each day to see her friends and the amazing staff that make every day so fun and exciting for her.
Fantastic nursery, is it any wonder my child calls it another home ‘nursery house’. All staff are friendly and accommodating to my child’s needs. Genuinely have peace of mind that my child is being looked after to the highest standard at all times. Couldn’t recommend the nursery enough. Thank you Nursery Rhymes - Leicester.
My eldest daughter went to Nursery Rhymes - Leicester from nine months old until she went to school and my youngest daughter is currently there. It is an exceptional nursery with wonderful staff who provide excellent childcare, support and reassurance to parents with their warm and friendly nature. The nursery is like a home from home with a great outdoor space and age specific play areas, they encourage imaginative play and hands on messy play and crafts. Both of my girls have been happy throughout their time at Nursery Rhymes - Leicester and have grown in confidence. My eldest is more sensitive and was to begin with quite shy, she left Nursery Rhymes - Leicester confident and ready for school. I would highly recommend this nursery.
This is a child centred nursery. Our son was settled in last week with an outstanding team of staff. First, I was pleasantly surprised to learn that my son will organically chose his key worker, rather than assigned arbitrarily by a member of staff. This really assured me that all decisions are made with the child in mind. The team have been supportive, compassionate and very patient with both my son and myself. They have constantly kept be updated with his progress and reassured me throughout the day via phone calls, messages, pictures and videos. This is a digital first nursery and they have invested in technology and utilise it efficiently to ensure clear lines of communication. They have correctly balanced this forward thinking and professionalism with personal and bespoke care for the babies. In particular, the baby room and key worker for my son has been outstanding. She has a naturally caring, compassionate personality and has worked incredibly hard with my baby.
We felt very nervous about leaving our son in someone else's care during the pandemic, however, the staff at Nursery Rhymes have been amazing and it's unbelievable how well and quickly he has settled in. Everyone seems really caring and responsive. The use of the parent app has been a particular highlight as it makes communication much easier and we love seeing photo updates during the day. Would highly recommend.
Nursery Rhymes - Leicester is without a doubt one of the most professional, caring and trustworthy childcare establishments I have come across. The staff are genuinely attentive in the needs of both the children and the parents and show a high-level of care and dedication. As soon as you walk into the nursery you can feel the warmth and comfort from the settings, the children and the staff. The rooms and amazing garden have all been set up to a high and safe standard according to the appropriate age groups with a whole array of learning and interactive tools. Best of all my children both love coming to nursery and have had amazing experiences. Their social interaction skills have come across immensely since starting and they made some great friends. Thank you Nursery Rhymes - Leicester.
Nursery Rhymes - Leicester is like home from home for the children they care for, this is what drew me to the nursery at my first visit. The staff in the baby room were so caring and loving with our little girl, although she took some time to settle, they were patient and attentive to her needs. The staff do so much with the children when they move to the toddler room. I love that the children have plenty of outdoor play and the way they educate children through play is exemplary. There’s always a smile on our daughters face after attending nursery.
The level of service we have received from Nursery Rhymes has been exceptional from the start. In what must have been a turbulent year for the staff, their care and attention for our son has always felt like their top priority. The facilities at the nursery are great, we have had clear communication from staff, and their use of new technologies such as the virtual doorbell for drop-offs and pickups have been a big help to us as parents. Hearing our son talk about all of the activities and fun he has had during the day is the biggest stamp of approval of all. Thank you to everyone involved at Nursery Rhymes for doing such a great job!
Brilliant nursery, very happy they have been recommended to us by a very good friend. The team have been great at welcoming our eleven month year old who has been very limited with outside contact in these current times. One member of staff was brilliant with our settling in sessions and another has been very supportive and caring of our little boy. He has bonded brilliantly with her and seems to be picking up so much since starting.The nursery is full of brilliant activities to keep our little boy busy and learning many new things. We are receiving detailed updates throughout the day via the app, along with pictures, nappy changes, naps and other activities. The team have been great, and I can only highly recommend this nursery.
My son loves attending Nursery Rhymes - Leicester and has settled very well. He has been attending since August 2020 and in the short time has learnt loads of new things. The staff are very friendly and do loads of activities with the children. I love seeing the pictures the nursery sends daily, so we can see what he has been doing whilst he is there. The management are very attentive and always happy to assist when anything is raised.
