Review from S M (Mother of Child) published on 29 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
On 16th September my son was left outside in the huge garden completely ALONE for an undisclosed amount of time. I got there to collect him and there were 3 members of staff in his room and none of them had a clue that he wasn't even in the room. I've never been so heart broken.
The manager Nabila then had an hour long talk with me in her office where she continuously slated the staff in the toddler room. Of course she then denied this the next day in front of the main manager Manjit.
Another child was also left outside alone back in 2022. This nursery can't even do the basics of a head count. Anything could have happened to my son that day. Avoid like the plague.

Please don't pay attention to the 5* reviews below - they are from staff members and do not accurately represent this hell hole.

Overall Experience
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!!

Overall Experience

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.

Overall Experience
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.

Overall Experience

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!

I can tell my son is happy at this school from the joy on his face. The teachers' kind attitude and support are incredibly reassuring and uplifting. Even changes in her skills, social activities, and speaking style are a huge support for my child.

Review from Monika P (Mother of Child) published on 23 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
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!

Overall Experience

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.

Overall Experience
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.

Review from Shannon N (Mother of Child) published on 19 March 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Review from M G (Mother of Child) published on 25 June 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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 - Coventry

The 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!

Overall Experience
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.
