Absolutely amazing nursery with such kind and friendly staff, have only just moved to the area and with our massive changes in circumstances we were able to get our little one in nursery as soon as possible. Donna has been incredible to us, especially with the starting in sessions and the reassurance she has given me. My little one has settled in so well and we've been so happy with the experience. The thoroughness Donna does when giving us updates throughout the day has been wonderful too! Can't fault the nursery nor the staff as they bring such care and support to myself and little one starting. Thank you!
Thank you for your kind words. We are so glad that you chose to send your child to our setting and that the staff have been warm and welcoming to you all.
Donna, her key worker, is brilliant. She knows exactly how to keep her engaged and understands what captures her interest. If she ever gets upset, Donna knows just how to comfort and settle her quickly, which gives us so much reassurance. It's clear she really knows her personality and supports her beautifully.
Although she can't tell us about her day yet, we can see how much fun she has from her smiles, her excitement when we arrive, and how happy and content she is when we pick her up. We feel very lucky to have found such a nurturing and supportive environment for her.
We are so happy that you as a family are happy. We do like to get to know our children and their families as well as we can so it is like a home from home for all. Supporting the children and parents through all developmental stages.
Academically, the nursery provides a range of engaging activities that are linked to the learning areas and they communicate this well to parents. They often share assessments around the learning areas including next steps. My son has made excellent progress.
Overall, the environment at the nursery is always welcoming. Parents are friendly and polite and encourage their children to be. I speak to the staff frequently and I know their roles including the managers and Senco. They say it takes a village to raise a child and I am glad this nursery is part of mine.
Thank you for your kind words. We thrive to make our environment warm and welcoming for all and we are super happy that you and your child are happy with the service provided.
My little one has been here for 2 years now and has developed so well in all areas. The staff have been excellent with all areas of development and we get daily feedback on how she has been which helps us quickly pick anything up that needs attention and work on things at home for example, sharing/communication/social development/toilet training etc. My child is now 3 and has made some special friends and loves all the staff! The people who work here are wonderful and so hard working, I'm so glad we decided to pick Rockinghorse!
Thank you so much for your lovely review. We thrive to make a positive impact on all children who attend our setting and want the best for them all.
We honestly couldn't be happier with this nursery. My daughter has been there since the baby room and she was so well looked after from the very start. The care, patience and reassurance the team give is amazing. Now in the toddler room, the staff continue to go above and beyond to make sure she feels safe, settled and happy. It's such a comforting feeling as a parent knowing your child is genuinely cared for every single day. We're so grateful for everything they do.
Thank you so much for your lovely review. We thrive to make the transition as smooth as possible for both parents and their children giving them a home from home experience.
Both children enjoyed their time at nursery and my daughter has made some life long friends.
All the staff show how much they care and support my child's development.
I will be sad when my little boy leaves when he goes to school but so thankful for the start they were both given.
Thank you for your positive review. We are thrilled that you have chose to bring both of your children to our setting and as always we will be sad when your little one leaves us when he goes to school.
We couldn't be happier with our experience at this nursery. Our little boy started when he was just 5 months old, which was naturally a big step for us as parents-but from day one, the team made us feel completely at ease.
Over the past month, they have created such a warm, welcoming, and nurturing environment, not just for our son but for us as a family too. The staff are incredibly kind, attentive, and genuinely invested in the children's wellbeing and development. It's clear how much care and thought goes into everything they do.
What has stood out the most is the level of support and reassurance they've given us during this transition. They've taken the time to get to know our son as an individual, keeping us updated and making sure he feels safe, happy, and settled.
We feel so lucky to have found a nursery where our child is not only well cared for but truly valued. We would highly recommend it to any parents looking for a loving and supportive environment for their little one.
Thank you so much for your lovely review. We thrive to make the transition as smooth as possible for both parents and their children giving them a home from home experience.
Rocking Horse Kindergarten (Rugby) has been an incredible nursery for both of my children for the last 4 years and I cannot recommend it highly enough.
From the moment we first joined the setting the care, dedication and support for the children and us as parents has been above and beyond what we would have expected. Nothing is ever to much. It is like a home from home for my children.
Each of the rooms has a nurturing environment and has allowed my children to thrive and develop a genuine love for learning. They come home still singing and reciting what they have learnt in the day. They have so much fun and the activities are always planned, Educational and joyed. But also developing essential skills that they need when going to school.
All the practitioners go above and beyond to create a safe, caring space where every child is valued as you would expect in your own homes.
It has been wonderful to see my children create strong friendships and confidence in a place they feel safe.
I honestly can't recommend Rocking Horse enough. From day one, the staff have been so welcoming, kind, and supportive - not just with our little one, but with us as parents too. It's such a lovely feeling to drop your child off knowing they're happy, safe, and cared for like family.
Our child has come on so much since starting - growing in confidence, learning new skills, and making lovely friendships. Every day they come home excited to tell us what they've been up to, which says it all!
It really is such a special place, and we feel so lucky to have found it. Thank you to the whole team for everything you do.
The activities are well-planned, fostering curiosity, independence, and social skills, and communication with parents is excellent. Seeing my children build friendships and develop essential skills has been amazing.
I am truly grateful for the warmth, passion, and dedication of the staff, who have given my children the best start. I cannot recommend this nursery highly enough!
Thank you for your kinds word. As a setting we always endeavour to make everyone's journey the best we can to the best of our ability. The staff always work hard to create new and exciting activities to keep children stimulated and interested.
My daughter has attended Rocking Horse since she was 9 months old until now as she's about to start her school journey. The 3+ years she has been there I cannot fault any of the staff there. They have always had the children's happiness and safety as their number 1 priority. They have been like a little extended family to not only my child who attends but myself and her older brother too. From day 1 when we were still unable to go inside with them due to Covid and trying to navigate a new normal right up to preparing her for school they have been fantastic. If any of the children are experiencing trouble in their day-to-day life it's bedtime routine, eating habits or changes in circumstances they try to help and teach them by incorporating it into their daily learning. And no matter how challenging they always have a huge smile on their faces. There's not a single thing I can fault I just wish my girl could stay there forever. Thank you all for preparing her for the next journey.
Thank you so much for your kind words. Covid definitely had a huge impact on all, but we all did our best to help support children and parents. We wish all of our little ones can stay with us forever too. We can't wait to see all of the children grow and flourish in their next adventure. We will miss you and your family but wish you all the best.
The curriculum is engaging and thoughtfully designed, promoting both learning and fun. The teachers are exceptionally patient, attentive and skilled at fostering a nurturing atmosphere. I especially appreciate the open communication and regular updates on our son's progress. The facilities are clean, safe, and well-equipped with a variety of toys and learning materials that keep the children entertained and stimulated. Outdoor playtime is a highlight, with a spacious and secure playground that allows the kids to explore and expend their energy.
Overall, Rocking Horse Kindergarten has exceeded my expectations in every way. I highly recommend it to any parent looking for a supportive and enriching environment for their child.
Thank you so much for your kind words. We like to have a home-from-home experience to make the children and parents feel at ease during their time with us. It is so lovely to hear you would recommend us. Thank you
Also the communication with parents is good through the app, as well as in person when you leave and collect the children.
Thank you for your kind words. We do like to let the children experience lots of different activities throughout the day to gain life experiences and learn through play. We wish your child the best of luck in his next adventure at big school.
You helped her open up, and learn many new things, you were a second home for her.
The staff and management are fantastic and they clearly love their job! Always friendly and helpful!
It is really great place for the children to learn and grow!
Thank you so much for your kind words. We do like to have a home-from-home setting for the children to feel safe and secure. We wish her the best of luck in her next big adventure at school and she continues to thrive. Kind regards, Nursery Manager
Our three boys have been to this nursery and the team has always been amazing. So caring, attentive and understanding. The activities they do with them are great, our two eldest boys left preschool super ready to start school! Our youngest still attends the nursery and he really enjoys his time there!
Thank you for your kind words. We do try and make the children's day fun and exciting with a different range of activities all while learning through their play. Kind regards, Nursery Manager
My one-year-old started nursery the week after her first birthday. We are so very impressed with the nursery and its staff. My little girl settled so quickly and the app updates are really reassuring for us as parents. It helps us to feel like we aren’t completely missing out on what she is getting up to. Developmentally we are really impressed with all of the activities she does daily but most importantly we feel such reassurance from the kindness and gentleness of staff who have made our daughter thrive and settle so quickly. We visited so many nurseries before deciding on Rocking Horse and are so pleased with our choice. Thank you.
Thank you for your kind words. We endeavour to have a home-from-home experience and we are really happy she has settled in well.
My daughter has been with Rocking Horse since the beginning of 2021. She is going to miss every one of the adults. Luckily my son starts in Butterflies in January so I’ll be able to keep seeing them. Everyone has been fantastic and done a brilliant job with all children. Very understanding and easy to talk to from a parent's perspective.
The nursery consists of brilliant practitioners who look after all children and cater to everyone's needs!
Hands down would recommend for any child! The nursery keeps you up to date through an online app, which includes pictures, observations, meals and nappy changes!
Thank you Rocking Horse for helping my baby girl flourish every single day!
Kind regards
Hannah Downes

The staff at Rocking Horse are amazing. It feels like a second family. They are passionate about what they do. The educational games, interactions and activities they do with the children can not be faulted. The communication between staff and parents is excellent. Thank you to the staff and management at Rocking Horse, especially the Bumblebees staff. God bless you all.
My son has been going to this nursery for the past seventeen months. He loves the staff and goes happily three times a week. They do a range of activities which stimulate and develop children's understanding of the world. They share photos and communication with parents using the Famly app. They support the whole family and are very approachable. Meals are varied and each room has a garden. The nursery tries to get the children outside as much as possible. We are very pleased with how quickly our son settled and how he is progressing with his learning. We can't fault them at all.
