About this price
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.

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...
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.

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.

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!

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!

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.
