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 third child is currently at Nursery Rhymes (my older two also attended over a period of 5 years) and I couldn't be more pleased with the time that she's spent there. The staff are lovely and really help to give a homely feel that my daughter is more than happy to run in.
Great improvements...

Great improvements have been made in the toddler room and the garden activities have been expanded/recently invested in.
The garden is also lovely and very secure.

I cannot recommend Nursery Rhymes enough. We knew this was the nursery for us the minute we stepped through the door and we weren’t disappointed upon our daughter starting. In fact, we have been blown away by the care and support given to her. The staff in the baby room are fantastic and take excellent care of our daughter. She settled in super quick, with little fuss which is a testament to the staff in the baby room. The staff are extremely helpful and will always try to allay any concerns we might have. We also love love love the online parent portal which keeps up updated throughout the day. Thank you for taking such good care of our precious little person.
My little one loves coming to nursery and enjoys a variety of activities that stretch her abilities. The staff are caring, helpful and friendly.

My son’s key nursery nurse has a very calm demeanour and is doing a great job of helping my son settle in. I feel at ease and confident that he is in a homely loving environment
My husband and I are very happy with all aspects of the nursery and would struggle to fault it. Parent portal is especially fantastic and updated in a timely manner which is great.
Keep up the superb work.

My daughter started here when she turned one and it did take her a while to settle in but with the love and care of her key worker she now enjoys here time at nursery. We have seen a huge improvement in her development and she always comes home each day having learnt something new. We are looking froward to our son joining the nursery later this year. I would highly recommend this nursery.
Very kind, caring and competent staff. Welcoming atmosphere and lots of great activities for the babies.

Our son has been at Nursery Rhymes for two years, full time, now. He is graduating from the toddler room to pre-school next week, in fact. And he loves it! And we love it!
The staff are fab, the facilities are lovely (a great big garden). The staff were especially good during an emergency for our son last year (11/10 to be precise). He is also learning well and developing a nice social side to his character (which I'm sure would be less visible were he not in this nursery).
So, all in all, Nursery Rhymes comes highly recommended and we are 1000% pleased we made the choice for him to spend his early years here.
Both my daughters have been to Nursery Rhymes, so I have become very fond of the lovely staff. I shall miss them all very much when my daughter has to leave.

Nursery Rhymes has been a second home for our daughter. She has been very well looked after ever since she started with the nursery since 2013 and we have not had any concerns. The staff are all very polite and always welcome us every day with a big smile. Our daughter looks forward to going to nursery every morning and has learnt so much throughout her learning journey. Thank you to all at Nursery Rhymes, we are very grateful for all your love and support all the way.
