My daughter has grown in her speech and confidence since going to the nursery. She loves it there and she is making friends. The nursery staff are great with the children and they are really the best.

Overall Experience
So impressed with The Learning Hive Nursery School - our son attends five days a week and loves it there. He takes part in so many different activities and all of the staff are so kind and caring and truly make your child feel at home. We get regular photos and video updates on the app and also have access to a daily diary of what was eaten, sleep times etc. which is extremely useful.

We would highly recommend the nursery!

Review from P D (Mother of Child) published on 21 April 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
The staff are very professional and skilled.
My child is very happy at the nursery.

Each staff member knows him personally which is a nice quality. I feel that all of the staff take an active interest in my child and not just his key worker. I am confident leaving him at the nursery when I am at work as I know that he is in safe hands.

Overall Experience

My daughter loves every second at The Learning Hive Nursery School. The staff are attentive and caring and nothing is too much trouble. The calm, nurturing and educational atmosphere is the perfect mix. She has really improved in her development since starting nursery in August. The activities, equipment and staff knowledge are perfectly pitched to support her development mentally, physically, and socially. Huge thank you to all the staff for their dedication and hard work. Thank you

Review from J G (Mother of Child) published on 8 February 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I am satisfied with the care given to my child from the nursery. Our daughter is always so happy to go in and has a spring in her step when we leave her at the door. Her happiness is all that is important to us, so as long as she is enjoying it, then I am satisfied she is getting the care and education she needs whilst playing with her playmates.
From a parent's perspective and being able to compare this experience with another nursery that my son went to, I feel very disconnected from the nursery.
It's lovely to talk at the door, albeit that be for a couple of minutes, but if there is a queue of parents, then there is no time for feedback of the day.
I feel that there is no connection between us as parents and the nursery. I dont have any familiarity with her teacher or teachers, but everyone seems lovely, and I am sure all do a great job.

Yes, there is the log, but that's a computer; it's not a human being having a conversation. Just my thoughts on my experience with another nursery.

Overall Experience

This nursery has never fallen short of my expectations. I am currently sending my third child there and my two older children had a great time there with fond memories. They had a great connection with the carers. we regularly get updated reports on a daily basis on what's happening with pictures of daily activities. couldn't recommend them more!

All the staff seem lovely and so caring. My son loves it he is always so excited. Was so patient with him the first few weeks when he was settling in. He has come on so much since starting the nursery.

Overall Experience
Really saddened to be taking our child out of the nursery. He loves every one of the staff members and his learning, speech and confidence has really improved over the last 12 months. My child has been with the nursery since 9 months old and the care and love he has been shown is amazing. He will really miss his friends and teachers.

Thank you so much!

Review from Kathy S (Mother of Child) published on 8 February 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Both my children have attended The Learning Hive in the past five years.
My youngest daughter (aged 16 months) currently attends at present (1.5 days per week) and absolutely loves her time at nursery. Staff are so welcoming/friendly both on drop off and pick up, and I am confident that she is very well looked after.
Daily diaries are published promptly, along with regular key observations to give us an insight into how she is developing. It's also good to see the menu of the day displayed outside and to read the nursery newsletter to keep up to date with what events/activities are coming up.

I would recommend The Learning Hive to friends and family looking for a local nursery.

Overall Experience

Our son has attended the nursery for just over six months. He settled in almost immediately and we credit the staff massively for this. His development has gone from strength to strength while attending the nursery. There is always plenty of activities for our son to be involved in and it is great to see what he has done in the day on the app. The staff are attentive and caring and the facilities are great. The meal options are always well balanced too.

Overall Experience

The staff at The Learning Hive Nursery School have been absolutely amazing, my son really struggled with separation anxiety and the transition he has made with the help and understanding of all the staff I cannot praise enough. My son now is excited and looks forward to going to The Learning Hive daily and I feel so happy to leave him there rather than worrying about him. He always comes out so happy having done so many activities. The staff take time to learn and engage with the children. I would happily recommend them to any of my family and friends.

Overall Experience

My firstborn had been to a nursery before we moved into Droylsden 2/3 years ago. When we found this nursery, we were amazed at how much better this one was and honestly, if I could give it more stars I would! The staff are so lovely and so good with the children. The nursery is lovely inside and set up so well.

Review from Harry B (Father of Child) published on 4 August 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Rocking Horse Nursery is absolutely fantastic. From the top down, I have always been impressed by their professionalism and their attentive nature to the children. The food they serve is interesting, nutritious and varied and the place is always clean. My children come home happy and tired every day, which is exactly what I like to see. The list goes on. I honestly cannot find any way to criticise the nursery as they seem to excel in every area. It will be a sad day that dawns when I no longer drop my kids off there because I've enjoyed every minute of using their services. Cannot recommend it highly enough.

Review from N L (Father of Child) published on 29 April 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We have 2 children who attend the nursery (one preschool and one in the baby room). Both our children are very happy coming into nursery every day! They love all of the lovely caring staff that look after them and are always happy to see them in the morning. Our oldest child tells us about all of the things she has learned at nursery each day and talks about the fun activities she has taken part in. We couldn't be happier with the care and teaching our children to receive and the setting they are able to grow and learn in. We will be sad when our oldest leaves and goes to school in September as she has formed relationships with so many people here!

My son has been coming to Rocking Horse Nursery & Pre-school since he was 8 months old, he’s now nearly 3. Half the time he doesn’t want to leave the nursery and come home because he’s having so much fun. He’s always talking about his friends and teachers and this just shows how much he likes it.

Overall Experience

Rocking Horse Nursery is not just a nursery but it has been such an exceptional place for my son to thrive in. The staff are very friendly approachable professional and very motivated. There was not a time that I felt I didn't know what was happening when my child was in the nursery and any updates on services are always communicated in a timely manner. My son has developed into such an independent boy for his age and I loved the fact that whatever we were working on at home once communicated to the nursery staff they supported the action and rewarded my son with encouragement. Very lovely nursery first class all the way.

Review from K L (Mother of Child) published on 28 April 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My child has been coming to the nursery from 9-months-old, is currently in preschool and is due to leave in September. My little girl always comes home happy and talks about her friends and favourite staff members. I get great observations and information on what she has been doing each day. Also, all meals are healthy, and she loves them. When I drop her off in the morning, staff or management always greet her with a big smile and say good morning, making her feel welcome. She has always gone to them straight away, never wanting to come back to me, which is great and reassures me she enjoys nursery.

Overall Experience

My four children have been attending Rocking Horse Nursery & Pre-school over the past five years. My twins are the last ones to attend and will be leaving for school this summer. I can honestly say, I never wanted to choose a different nursery. I’ve always been at ease, and they have always been happy and comfortable here. The staff are like their family. Learning and development is a key part of each day and my sons both left well prepared for their reception class. It’s a huge decision leaving your children in the care of others and I would highly recommend this nursery. The communication and updates via the app are always great. I will miss the updates when they go to school and their last day here will sure be a sad one.

My daughter attends three times a week since Sept and really loves it. We picked Rocking Horse for its location and upon viewing, we were charmed by the atmosphere and staff.

We're very convinced it's the right place for her to be.
