Great place, kids love it and feedback to and from the nursery is top-notch. Kids really enjoy the fresh food served daily. I feel really confident that my son will be fully prepared for school when he heads there in the near future. My little girl is really learning to communicate at an amazing rare, with their expert guidance.
My daughter loves going to see all her friends at nursery. This weekend she told me she missed her key worker. She’s usually a very light sleeper at home but Nursery Rhymes - Leicester have managed it perfectly. Thanks Nursery Rhymes - Leicester.
Lovely nursery. Staff are always happy, friendly and make a wonderful effort to form a good bond with the children. Nursery to parent communications are excellent, as we are always kept up to date with how our daughter is getting on. Our daughter is very happy here, so much so that she asks to attend at the weekend! We would highly recommend the nursery to prospective parents.
Nursery Rhymes - Leicester is excellent for a number of reasons. First and foremost they safeguard and look after my child. He really enjoys his activity filled days. The staff really helped to develop his eating skills, which he is now much improved. We feel he is genuinely cared for. The staff encourage development and handily fill out a development and capability assessment tool every week. This can help us focus attention. We couldn’t be more pleased with the nursery and have recommended them to friends.
This nursery is a home from home. The staff are all brilliant with the kids, very caring and nurturing. Three of my kids have been to Nursery Rhymes - Leicester and all have been very happy. Cannot recommend this nursery enough!
My daughter loves it at nursery. She is always excited to go and remains happy and chatty on collection. The staff are wonderful and really help with her progress. Communication is brilliant and we are so happy with the facilities you provide and can see that all the children are content in your care.
Have been excellent support for our family in difficult COVID-19 circumstances since August 2020, and really helped both our young children’s development. Provide regular updates, photos and development advice throughout each day via app.
The management and staff are very friendly and approachable. The quality of the facilities, care, activities and the key worker's observations are all done to a high standard.
Our little boy really enjoys going every day and has significantly developed, gained self-confidence and been taught polite manners.
Thank you so much for taking the time to review Nursery Rhymes. We are very pleased that your son is enjoying his time and has made significant developments whilst at Nursery Rhymes.
We’ve had a great experience at nursery rhymes. It’s a lovely environment where our child has thrived. The staff give clear and consistent feedback and have built wonderful bonds with our son. A fabulous nursery.
We’re so lucky to have found Nursery Rhymes for our daughter. She’s so happy and settled there, even with the changes brought about by covid. The staff are ALL incredibly friendly, professional and genuinely caring. We’ve never hesitated to leave her in their care - and she doesn’t hesitate to run in, in the mornings! Their staff retention is excellent and she has a key person who we see every day. In her absence, another member of the team is always on hand. Even the lovely chef gets a mention at home! 10/10 on every level! Hugely recommended!
My son really enjoys going to nursery here! He is always excited for his day. The staff are all so lovely and caring. When providing feedback about my son's day the staff really gives every detail, so I always feel like I am not missing out on anything and shows that she really cares about his development. They also provide detailed feedback on how we as parents can continue their learning at home. Thank you Nursery Rhymes, always recommending to my friends and family.
Couldn't recommend Nursery Rhymes enough! Excellent nursery with caring and friendly staff. Our son is very happy attending and is learning and developing well. The nursery has a warm and homely feel and this was why we chose it. Over a year later we remain very happy with our choice, our son is thriving and enjoys his days at Nursery Rhymes.
After much deliberation we decided to send our son to Nursery Rhymes. We’d researched various nurseries and this one seemed to be the right fit for what we were looking for in terms of child development, atmosphere, friendliness of staff, hygiene etc. My son started at 10 months old and being our firstborn, we were naturally anxious. In just 4 months of him being there I've seen a huge leap in his development, he’s really settled in well and enjoys nursery. The key workers are doing an amazing job and spend time to discuss what he’s been doing during the day. The addition of the Famly App has been instrumental as we’re constantly engaged in his daily activities and pictures are frequently uploaded. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank all the staff at Nursery Rhymes for making it a pleasurable experience for both parent and child, and a special thanks to his key worker for constantly being there for him and providing us with weekly reports on his progress.
I have no concerns regarding the nursery and feel very reassured seeing a lot of familiar faces. Knowing staff retention is high is a clear indicator that they are happy.
The fact we have started in the middle of a pandemic was more of a worry but we are 100% confident in all of the processes the nursery has put in place to safeguard each and every child and staff member.
I have not been into the nursery and strangely enough, this has not bothered me as the confidence and interaction I feel from all the staff provides me with the reassurance that all is well.
My daughter has recently turned 1. I am happy with how well she has adapted going to nursery. Living within the constraints of lockdowns restricts our options with regards to child activities. The nursery has been an outlet to cater for her needs, growth, and confidence.
Such a warm, caring and happy nursery. My daughter was fortunate to receive a place here after being unhappy at her previous stetting so I feel I can say this definitely is the best. The staff are amazing, so kind and they adore the children. Communication is superb and personal, there definitely is a family feeling here. I know my child is content because she talks so positively about her day in the preschool room and she is learning and developing. A huge thank you to the team at Nursery Rhymes because it’s such a relief to know our daughter enjoys her childcare when we can’t be with her.
I wholeheartedly recommend Nursery Rhymes. As a first-time mother/father, we were extremely anxious about putting our child in a nursery. However, our worries quickly disappeared as soon as our son went to his settling in day. Even though we could not be there with him during those hours due to Covid-19, his keyworker sent several photos and seeing his smiling face in those photos really reassured me. It has been three weeks since he started attending Nursery Rhymes, but every interaction we have had with the teachers/ managers have been nothing but pure professionalism/positivity/friendliness. Our son must be receiving tons of attention and hugs, because we see that the rate at which our son develops his multiple physical/emotional skills have increased ever since he started attending this nursery.
When first visiting Nursery Rhymes, we instantly felt comfortable and were reassured by their 'home from home' approach to looking after the children. Our 9-month-old son loves his time there and always looks forward to his nursery days! The team are very responsive to messages and have been extremely accommodating to our son's dietary requirements due to allergies, as well as closely following the nap routines that he is used to at home. An overall great experience!
We’d wholeheartedly recommend the nursery to other parents and had no hesitation in sending our youngest there as well.
The environment is fantastic and has been improved further with the recent extension, but it’s the entire staff who make this place so special - they’re all brilliant without exception.
I first brought my daughter to the nursery in 2018 and two years later we are having to leave due to moving out of the area. If I could choose to keep her in for pre school then there would be no hesitation. All of the staff from the baby room and the toddler room and the managers are extremely welcoming, friendly, approachable and really care about the children! It’s very apparent every morning and evening when I collect my daughter. They have helped with everything when needed! From fussy eating to toilet training to sharing to talking! I will miss the team so much - Thank you for everything!
Excellent nursery. Lovely property and lovely people!
