The Learning Hive Nursery School

The staff at Rocking Horse are so welcoming; they make it a home from home. Having a pandemic bab,y they have done everything they can to ensure smooth transitions whilst maintaining everyone’s safety.

My child really likes it! He is so happy to go there.

The best nursery around! 5* Staff, girls are brilliant with kids. Food is more than delicious as my kids love it and ate it all each day. I'm 100% sure that is the right place for my kids. I could see a massive improvement in my both kids' speech too. Highly recommend.

We are extremely grateful and impressed with their commitment to the kids and their families.

Rocking Horse nursery isn't just a nursery. The minute your child walks through the door on day one you become one of the family. The care and attention given to the development of your child is second to none. The staff are friendly and warm nothing ever seems to be too much trouble and in my experience regularly go above and beyond what you would expect. Regular updates take place but any concern or development needs you feel you have are always acted upon and fed back. Our son has been at Rocking Horse since he was one and is now coming to the end of his time there attending the pre-school. The pre-school is great and set up to be as similar in feel to a reception class, to help with the transition to school when it comes. The outside space so important to an active little boy is fantastic, the free flow means it's easy to move between the classroom and outside. The food is varied and nutritious. I can't recommend it more and we'll miss it when he moves on.

I highly recommend Rocking Horse Nursery. My daughter attends five days a week and is so happy whilst at nursery. She loves attending every day and has such an amazing bond with the staff members in the room, she even asks for them on the weekends. The baby unit is beautifully decorated and is a lovely environment for children. My daughter has come on so much since starting nursery. I love coming out of work and getting a daily update through the app on everything. To what she has eaten, drank, slept, nappies and what she has been up to. I am so happy that I chose this nursery to send my daughter to.

I can’t fault this nursery in any way. They care about our children and we the parents as well. The staff are amazing, friendly and very professional. I’ve been with them long enough to vouch for them. The love, care and support they gave me and are still giving me when I lost my son, who also attended Rocking Horse was phenomenal. They are family and I STRONGLY RECOMMEND THIS NURSERY to all growing families. Your child will love it and they will be in good hands.

Rocking Horse is a brilliant nursery, my 1-year-old loves it there. He is always excited to go in, the girls are always happy to see him in the mornings. I love reading his notebook at the end of the day to see what he has been up to. The eyLog app is also amazing to get a glimpse into his life at nursery and how he is progressing. The staff really care about the children and their development and I always feel confident leaving my son there. 5 stars for Rocking Horse they, are amazing.

My daughter goes here and loves it, and the staff treat her (and us) very well. They are not perfect but seem to be constantly striving to improve and take constructive feedback on board. The recent change in ownership (to Storal Learning) seems to have brought some additional investment to the nursery and they are busy finalising some renovations. My daughter has been going for over a year now, and we recently doubled her sessions from one afternoon a week to two, with plans to increase it further in due course. The nursery is also very flexible in taking our daughter for additional sessions when required (with them once taking her full time for two weeks to cover some other unexpected commitments).

I would not hesitate in recommending Rocking Horse to other parents/carers.

Good communication with parents regarding any events or incidents.

My daughter has been at Rocking Horse since 10 months old and is now 3. She is a very happy, chatty, confident little girl and this is largely down to her nursery time and her carers. Excellent nursery!

Very happy with all staff and the nursery itself.

My nearly two years old my daughter attends this nursery. When she first started she was shy and missed her mummy and daddy. It was heartbreaking to see, however, I knew she was in excellent care with all the staff as they had previously cared for my other daughter who attended from being 10 months old to when she started school. Staff are excellent and always go above and beyond and we couldn't ask for any better care for our little one. She has come on leaps and bounds. Thank you!

My daughter struggled at first to adapt to nursery as she is an only child. The staff have been so patient and kind. Everybody you encounter at Rocking Horse Nursery & Pre-school go the extra mile and are friendly and helpful. My daughter is now settled really well and has gained so much independence from attending. A great range of activities and lovely facilities and toys. I would highly recommend this nursery.

I also used this nursery for my eldest 11 years ago. Wouldn't dream of going anywhere else and I recommended to my family and friends who also used the nursery.

Great nursery

We chose this nursery based on location but our child has come on leaps and bounds since joining. Staff are friendly and always keen to help and the children all appear happy, well looked after and the range of activities always keeps them active and learning whilst having fun.

I will be forever grateful for the love and care they both received.

I am the mummy of a very special little boy who attended Rocking Horse for over two years. He was my only child and I would never leave him with anyone until I found this amazing nursery. He would just go off and play saying 'bye mummy' with a cheeky grin. I knew by that expression I had made the right choice. The warm welcome we would receive from parents, children, and most importantly the staff. They really did become part of a family unit. I guess more close than some blood relatives. My little boy made so many friends. Birthday parties were like being in the nursery. They were so close, happy and beautiful children. From what I saw on a daily basis all the children in that class loved the nursery, their classroom and most importantly the staff. I saw the children grow into beautiful little people. More so my son. He learnt so so much, from colours, singing, playing and sharing. Writing his full name and always brings things home he so proudly made.
