Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
I sent my son here for a week. The first couple of days were fine, everything suddenly went downhill. My son had only been there one week and they expected my son to tell them when he needed a toilet. I was told he was told off as he ran into the hallway. I think he was trying to go to the toilet as
he'd seen other kids go but was told to go back into the room. After that, I went to pick him up and I was told I was late a few times. I said I'd speak to the manager where I said I have an 18month old baby which takes me 2 minutes to get out of the car as well to collect my son. The manager stated maybe I should leave earlier. I have a live location and times saved on my phone that show I was on the grounds 10 to 15 minutes early but as the staff open the door late I was waiting outside, then to be told by one member of staff I need to pick my son up on time. The observation of my son was also incorrect. They stated he did not know his ABC or numbers. He is very passionate about his learning, if only they spent time with him.

I can not speak highly enough of Rocking Horse Nursery and the staff in the Baby room/tiny tots.
Our little girl attended a childminder previous to this but due to unforeseen circumstances we had to find alternative childcare and I am so glad we found this nursery. She is very happy there, has settled
in well and all staff are so positive and welcoming. It has only been 1 month since she started and already I am out at ease that this is the perfect place for her.

Review from D C (Mother of Child) published on 17 October 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son was at a different nursery since he was 9 months old, and anytime I had a concern, it was met with 'we aren't concerned, all kids develop at different rates', but I knew he had a speech delay. Once he turned 3, the setting SENCO set targets that he was meeting, only for me told by the manager
to find a different setting. It was a blessing in disguise to have to find another nursery.


Rockinghorse Kindergarten have gone above and beyond caring for my son. Every single staff member has a caring and professional nature. The setting SENCO has made sure everything is in place for my son to succeed and I have already noticed a huge increase in his vocabulary since joining. He is met every morning with so much love and affection, which is such a reassuring feeling.


I would recommend this nursery to anyone. Everything that they do has the children's wellbeing at the forefront.

Since my daughter has been at nursery she has developed so much! She loves going every week and she is always so happy when she is there, the facilities are amazing and the staff are always so friendly and welcoming. I get regular updates while shes there and it is so comforting knowing that she is
looked after so well, it is always clean and I am very happy with the way the nursery is run!

Review from Donna C (Mother of Child) published on 5 November 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter started nursery as a baby and she absolutely loves going to nursery every day, she's now almost 3. From baby room to toddlers and now in Pre-School, my daughter has learnt and developed so much. She sees the staff as family and even at the weekend she asks can I go to nursery! She especially
enjoys messy play and all the outside space. We get daily updates on an app and photos of development. The nursery catered really well for keyworkers during the Covid pandemic. They continue to work their socks off providing the best care. I am so happy I chose Rocking Horse Kindergarten for my daughter. I definitely recommend.

My son has only attended the nursery for a few months but the staff have been brilliant. They offer a great range of activities both inside and out. The menu of food is really varied and lots of opportunities for children to be creative. All the staff are friendly, knowledgeable and approachable. Keep
you up to date with my child's progress and are flexible to suit his needs.

Overall, this nursery is excellent. My daughter comes home every day with a smile on her face and she is developing really well for her age. The food on site is cooked fresh and she loves every meal and has gained a great appetite since. I am very happy with this nursery and would recommend to anyone.

This nursery was the best out of the other 3 nurseries that I visited. The manager was very nice and was able to answer all the questions that I asked. In each room I looked at, I was very pleased and felt welcomed. Instantly I knew that this was the nursery for my daughter.

My little girl has been here for around 18 months. It's a wonderful place and the staff are amazing. Couldn't be happier with this nursery. It's clean, food is fabulous and the garden area is brilliant.

My son has been attending Rocking Horse Nursery since he was 14 months old. He's now in the pre-school room and I am impressed with how he's been cared for over the last 2 and a bit years. The staff are brill, the manager is so welcoming and approachable, the cook provides a great assortment of meals
and snacks and my son participates in a wide range of activities. The garden was the selling point and he loves being outside on a daily basis as it's like visiting the park due to what it has to offer my son and his friends.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.596)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.596) 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 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 12 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 4.673 for Rocking Horse Kindergarten - Coventry is calculated as follows: ( (141 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) + (12 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 156 Ratings = 4.673
  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 4.923 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Rocking Horse Kindergarten - Coventry is based on 12 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 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    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. 12 Positive Reviews ÷ 13 = 0.923
  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.
