S4YC @ Rocking Horse Day Nursery

Thank you to all the amazing staff for everything you do. Your hard work, kindness, and dedication make such a difference, and we will always be grateful for the positive impact you've had on our daughters early years.

I would like to thank everyone at The Rocking Horse especially The Rainbows girls, who have all looked after & cared for my son. I really appreciate the kindness everyone has shown to my son and my family.

I have to give a huge shout out to Caitlin, my son's number one. Caitlin has not only helped support my son but also myself with the transition of leaving him with non family members, she has made this experience comfortable and reassuring. I would 100% consider bringing my second son to The Rocking Horse when needs be and would do the next time round with complete ease and this is all down to Caitlin. Caitlin has helped with my son's confidence, toilet training and eating (My son was very fussy and barely ate). Caitlin would also ensure to send me updates and photos all throughout the day, which I really appreciated & looked forward to.

My son loves Caitlin to pieces and mentions her all the time when not at nursery to everyone. Thank you Caitlin!!!

brillian setting, the staff take a real interest in the whole family. Our Daughter has loved attending Rocking horse since her first day when she was 1 and loves it more now she is 3. Its a fun environment but has also brought our daughter on leaps and bounds in her development and social skills

Thank you to all the staff

Qualified, and caring staff, a safe and stimulating environment, effective communication between staff and parents, and a curriculum that balances play and learning.

My daughter has been at Rocking Horse for a few months and she had come along so much since joining. I can not fault the staff, they are always very welcoming in the morning and my daughter seems to have formed a real bond with them.

Would highly recommend.

My son has been in Rocking Horse for nearly 2 years and absolutely loves it. He goes in every day with a smile on his face, excited to see the staff who support him and the friends he has made. I feel like the staff know him well- his likes, his dislikes and how to comfort him and make him laugh. I'll be really sad for the day he has to move on from nursery as it has been such a fantastic experience for him

I can not fault one of the staff at all. She is brilliant with the kids. My daughter loves her. You can tell she really cares and loves her job. She is an asset to the nursery. My daughter is going to miss her terribly when she starts school in September.

I can't thank the girls in baby room enough for all they do they are amazing and I couldn't be happier with the care they give to my daughter she is so happy there and is thriving x

I'm very glad my partner and I decided to move him from his previous nursery.

Both of my children went (and my youngest still goes) to Rocking Horse. The staff have always been nothing but amazing, friendly and welcoming. I know that any child that is left in their care is treated as one of their own, and as a mother I don't think you could wish for much more. I can't recommend the nursery enough x

The worest nursery ever, my son is vegetarian and I mentioned that in the application, but he asked me to change that if I need them to try other food and I did, but unfortunately it was a trap as they kept offer him the usual daily food (chicken nugets, cheese sandwich...etc.) and he refuse it, they never try another food and keeping him hungry until reach home around 6pm. He used to go directly to the kitchen crying and pick anything in front of him from his usual food. Over than that what it makes me took the decision to withdraw him immediately from the nursery is when he came with a bite mark on his face! Terrible experience.

I was very concerned about my child being in a nursery environment. As days passed I have witnessed to her interactions for different activities in nursery. It is nothing but involvement of baby room staff. Me and her dad will always be grateful for your contributions in her journey. The care and attention the baby room staff were given was exceptional. Since my daughter was a complicated kid staff were needed more patience and care. They absolutely loved to do it happily and they were always ready to be trained for her. The attitude of her looking after staff made us hesitant to drop out from nursery. We know she will miss you for sure.

I have marked food, due to the drastic difference from when my child started here, she was having variance and substantial meals, now the children are on pre-ordered meals that my child has not enjoyed at all.

My little boy absolutely adores going to nursery here and I feel so happy knowing he's being so well looked after and enjoying his time here. The staff members know him very well and are always thinking up fun activities to do with him and he is fed so well. Updates are fantastic and the building itself has a lovely homely feel to it.

My 1 year old loves Rocking Horse. He has been there since 4 months old and I have never been worried about him there. The staff are all so lovely and my boy loves them to bits. He is there a lot so they are like family to us. Any queries I have are always dealt with and communication is easygoing as staff are so kind and will accommodate anything as best they can. Only reason not giving 5 stars is because there was a rocky time last year when S4YC took over and families and existing staff noted that the policies were very different and it has taken some getting used to, especially financially as prices went up and there was some difficulties with the new payment system. The booking system is also quite different as we use an app, but it can be clumsy. It is due to the exceptional staff and their care that my son remains at this nursery. I cannot fault anything except for the technical issues.

My little girl started nursery in January and as a very anxious mum, I was so nervous about her not settling in. All of the staff were so reassuring and lovely to me and made it that little bit easier to leave her. She was very unsettled in the first area we tried her in which the staff picked up on straight away so we decided to try her in a room with smaller children and now she absolutely loves it there. She has such a nice connection with her main carer and it just reassures me so much. I get lots of updates throughout the day which is just perfect and makes my whole day seeing how happy my little girl is. 10/10 would recommend this nursery to anyone.

My child seems to enjoy himself, the staff seem friendly enough. Good policy with safeguarding. Good communication on the app when he's with his keyworker. The menu seems good and there often seems to be an option for more servings.

My child has been in Rocking Horse now since he was 9 months old. He has changed from babies to tots classes. He enjoys his time in the nursery and comes home singing lots of nursery rhymes that he has learnt. All of the staff we have met have been very friendly and welcoming and welcome my child with a smile and a big hello in the morning. The playrooms are very well set out and have a variety for the children to do and I love that they encourage outdoor play too.

My daughter has been going to Rocking Horse just over a year now and absolutely loves it, staff are great and the facilities are great too. She enjoys all the activities that the children get up to and absolutely loves the outdoor fun.
