My son has attended Rockinghorse since he was 9 months and is now 2. I visited many nurseries initially, and as soon as I came into this nursery, I had a gut feeling and knew it was the one.
The staff are amazing, down to earth and accomodating.
My son absolutely loves it and I have always felt very
comfortable leaving him in the care of them.
I would completely recommend Rockinghorse!!

My child has been attending Rockinghorse since April 2025, and it's now been a year. This nursery has played a significant role in his development and milestones. The staff are experienced, caring, and maintain a well-structured environment. He is always excited and eager to go, which shows how much
he enjoys his time there. The nursery is consistently clean and well-organized, with plenty of space for children to move around and explore.

Since joining the nursery my daughter has grown & learnt so much in a short space of time.
I was unsure of what to expect but I can say I'm so grateful for the staff that look after my daughter.
It's a wonderful environment full of fun & learning.
As a parent I was worried to what level of service
we would receive due to bad experience previous but Rocking Horse has made me feel at ease & I can leave my daughter knowing she is in safe & capable hands.

Our family has been so happy with Rocking Horse Kindergarten . Both of our children have attended here-my son went through the nursery a few years ago, and now our daughter is thriving there too. She genuinely loves going each morning, comes home full of smiles and new things she's learned or played,
and we can see how much she's growing in confidence and happiness. We really appreciate the caring staff, the fun activities, and the peaceful, welcoming atmosphere. It's been a wonderful choice for our family, and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to other parents!

We are incredibly happy with this preschool! Our 3.5-year-old has grown so much since starting here. The teachers are extremely caring, patient, and attentive, which makes children feel safe, loved, and excited to learn every day.
The environment is warm, nurturing, and well-structured, with a perfect
balance of learning and play. We've noticed wonderful improvements in our child's communication, confidence, and social skills. The activities are creative, engaging, and help develop curiosity and independence in young children.
What truly stands out is how much the staff genuinely care about each child's development and happiness. They keep parents informed and create a very supportive community.
We feel so grateful that our child is part of such a positive and encouraging learning environment. I would highly recommend this preschool to any parent looking for a safe, joyful, and enriching start to their child's education.

My son absolutely loves going to Rocking Horse. He has so much fun there, and the team provides very close, attentive support to his development. Whenever I have questions or suggestions, they listen carefully and always follow through with actions. On top of that, there is plenty of parking and a wonderful
outdoor garden, which makes the experience even better. Highly recommended!

My daughter attended Rocking Horse Kindergarten for one year, and I can confidently say they are excellent at what they do. The staff are incredibly caring and attentive, creating a warm and nurturing environment for the children. It's clear they genuinely care about each child's well-being and development.
I saw so much growth in my daughter during her time there, both socially and emotionally. Most importantly, she was happy every day she went to the nursery. I'm truly grateful for the positive experience she had at Rocking Horse Kindergarten.

My little girl has been at rockinghorse since I went back to work. She was 10 months old. She is now 3.5 and is happy and settled here. She often asks to see staff on the weekends! The girls in the rooms work hard and endlessly to ensure the children are happy and have lots to keep them occupied.
The
outdoor facilities are great. My daughter has come on leaps and bounds, is now learning to write her name and they've helped to teach her to ride a bike and Lots of skills she will take with her once she leaves for school!

Overall a fantastic nursery and staff! My son has been going here since he was 9 months old, his overall learning and development has come on leaps and bounds!
The staff are amazing, they support my child with all needs, even when it comes down to a simple cuddle.
My child has another 18 months
of care at the nursery until he starts school and I'm sure he's development will continue to strive!
Thank you Rocking Horse Kindergarten.

I would not even give a 1 star review. Theres not enough space on this page for me to write what went wrong with this place. However, if your child has any allergies or intolerances then please do not send your child here as on three occasions they have caused x1 reaction with my son, x1 near reaction
x1 intolerance flare up. They do the most to lie and cover up what's happened, they breach data protection, they get family members and staff to leave reviews covering up bad reviews. They do not keep children safe at all, how this place hasn't been shut down I do not know. They block you off everything so people can't see your review, they lie to other parents about a serious incident that happened with my child because other parents have seen it on social media, they protect their staff that cause said incident! Disgusting place.

My son has been at the nursery for almost a year, I was so emotional about leaving him, they have always kept me updated and sent photos to assure me he was ok, one day I left crying and was called before I reached work to make sure I was ok and let me know my son was happily having breakfast. My son
now gets out the car really excited runs in, has hugs for all the nursery staff. You can see how much he loves them and they love him. The manager always goes above and beyond, she always has time for a chat, she always promptly deals with any enquiries. I feel so comfortable leaving my son in her care. She's extremely down-to-earth and understanding. The nursery plays a huge part in our lives, not only caring for my son while I work but as a support network with advice and tips. Honestly would be lost without them! And they open from 7am!
Reply from Nabila Bibi, Manager at Rocking Horse Kindergarten - CoventryThe staff and myself only want and provide the best for the children! I believe that being understanding and approachable is key when you are leaving your children in our care! Thank you very much for your kind words!

Fantastic care given by all the girls in there towards my daughter, she's known by her name by all the girls. She's always greeted so lovely by them. She's made loads of friends and has developed into a really outgoing, sociable girl. We're so grateful for all the work the girls do with her.
They've
definitely helped her develop so much since she started.
She loves attending every day for her session and bounces through the doors every time.
Full of smiles, positivity and care.
We could recommend all the ladies here enough. Genuinely.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.629)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.629) out of 10 for Rocking Horse Kindergarten - Coventry is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 17 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.704 for Rocking Horse Kindergarten - Coventry is calculated as follows: ( (188 Excellents x 5) + (16 Goods x 4) + (12 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 216 Ratings = 4.704
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.925 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Rocking Horse Kindergarten - Coventry is based on 17 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 3.925
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 65 number of registered child places is 13, which has been reached with 17 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
