My child has been thriving since starting nursery here at Nursery Rhymes Knighton. She enjoys all the activities, it is tailored to her needs. Good communication between staff and parents. Honest and very professional. From day 1, they have been doing a great job. I feel at ease when my daughter is
at nursery.

The team at Nursery Rhymes have been great with my daughter from baby room to where she is now in toddler room. They helped her settle into the rooms smoothly and was able to support her father and I with any concerns or queries. They are always prompt when replying to messages and update the app regularly
throughout the day. My daughter loves going to nursery to see her friends and room leaders. Its great they offer events such as hartbeeps, forest school and French classes (availiable for preschool). Although these are availiable the rooms have lots of activities availiable to help with their development. The team are happy to support parents with potty training ect which helps with consistency. Very happy with this Nursery and the team. Thanks so much.

My daughter is so very happy at Nursery, she is full of stories and experiences, not all of them make sense, she is two so when I've asked the nursery if I could have 5 minutes of their time before pick up so we can together try and piece together what I know of a story and what the nursery staff know,
they have always found time for me. Also when I was having a difficult time with my child with regards to challenging behaviour, again when I spoke to the nursery about this, they found time to meet with me and offered help and guidance, they have really took the time and got to know my child and so they understand her needs and her challenges - I honestly cannot praise the staff enough, each member of the team have their own special personality, they aren't all the same and that means the children get an experience that is mixed and varied- I would recommend this nursery to everyone.

The nursery is outstanding. My son has been attending this nursery full time since he was a baby. He is now a toddler and he loves it. The team at the nursery are incredible. They care immensely about the children and provide excellent activities daily for the children to enjoy. Throughout both the
baby room and toddler room my son has experienced so much fun and joy. We are extremely happy with the nursery and what it provides for our child.

Fantastic pre-school, my daughter is always so happy and excited to attend. Her confidence has grown massively and she loves all the fun activities they do, especially Forest School!! They spend so much time outside with the children and lots of outdoor play was key for me as a parent making a decision
of what nursery to send my little girl to.

Nursery Rhymes in Leicester is an exceptional nursery and I honestly couldn't be happier. The staff are incredibly caring, friendly, and genuinely passionate about what they do. From day one, they made both my daughter and me feel completely at ease.
The environment is warm, safe, and stimulating, with
so many creative activities that really support learning and development. My child has grown so much in confidence, communication, and independence since attending, and it's clear how much effort the team put into every child's individual needs.
Communication with parents is excellent - I'm always kept informed and feel fully involved in my child's journey. It's such a relief knowing your child is happy, settled, and truly cared for.
Thank you to the whole Nursery Rhymes team for creating such a loving and nurturing place. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this nursery to any parent looking for outstanding childcare in Knighton Leicester

Our daughter has been attending this nursery since June 2024, and we couldn't be happier with the experience she's had. She has spent time in both the baby and toddler rooms, and she truly enjoyed her time in each one. The staff in both rooms have been incredibly caring, supportive, and attentive, helping
her feel safe, happy, and engaged every day. The nursery itself is spacious and very well-organised, offering a stimulating environment with a wide variety of activities that keep the children curious, active, and learning through play. Most importantly, our daughter absolutely loves going to nursery. She looks forward to it, which gives us great peace of mind as parents. We're so grateful for the positive impact this nursery has had on her growth and happiness, and we would highly recommend it to other families.

My daughter has been attending Nursery Rhymes for 9 months now and she absolutely loves it. All of the team are so kind and friendly, and she is always happy to go in each day. They partake in a wide range of learning activities, and spend lots of time exploring outside. Since starting nursery, my daughter
has learnt so many new skills, and amazes me every day with the things she picks up from her time there.
If you're looking for a safe, nurturing, home from home, where your child can thrive, then look no further. I couldn't recommend it highly enough.

Nursery Rhymes is an excellent nursery. We couldn't be happier and our daughter loves it. The staff are amazing and really get to know your child's interests and character. The food is great and they really take care to cater for dietary requirements and requests.
Nursery Rhymes really put thought
into their activities and find different ways to stimulate the children, and our daughter is learning so much there.
We are very happy we chose this nursery and would highly recommend it.

Couldn't recommend this Nursery enough! We knew from the moment we visited the nursery on the opening day that this was the perfect nursery for our child! It's a very home from home feel, so much space for all children/babies to play explore and expand on their development. The staff are incredible
and hold key relations with both parents and the child. My child in particular is very close to his key person which is very encouraging. We receive thorough updates through out the day on our child and it makes us so happy to see all of the wonderful activities the nursery put on a week-week basis. My child happily goes to nursery with a smile on his face and loves it there, which as a parent is such a wonderful feeling.

Having tried 3 different nurseries in the area, Nursery Rhymes is without a doubt the best by miles! Genuinely caring staff! Needs are always met with patience, making transitions smooth. The room is so tranquil and is huge allowing babies to freely move around. They set up fun activities and are so
nurturing. The activities are creative, engaging, and educational, perfectly balancing fun with learning opportunities. Having experienced all 3 rooms, we can confidently say that they are all outstanding.
The garden is a great outdoor space and is so well equipped; it's a child's dream!
Communication is always so seamless; I always feel well-informed about my children's progress. The staff take the time to build strong relationships with us as parents.
We love how they also arrange extracurricular activities for the children like forest school, and language classes and even take the children out on trips. The investment in the children is second to none.

We were on edge about moving my daughter from a different nursery but she has settled in so well and Nursery Rhymes really helped with that transition. The staff are amazing, Two particular members of staff keep the pre-schoolers entertained with a range of activities. We love the updates and seeing
how her week has been. She really has developed so much in the time she has been there, she loves the French class and songs!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We could not be happier with the care and support Nursery Rhymes provide for our daughter. We have entrusted the team with 3 of our children over the years and their passion and dedication to the children has always shone through. We have experienced other nurseries and we are confident to say that
there is no comparison. Their attention to detail and commitment to ensuring the children have everything they need is second to none. The staff and the environment are set up to provide a home-from-home approach. The resources and activities are always so well thought through and tailored to the children's interests.
As parents, we only want the best for our children and choosing a nursery can be daunting. We have always felt so at ease knowing that our daughter is not only having the best day but also being nurtured to fulfil her true potential. She is always so full of life and enthusiasm when telling us about her day. We have always and will continue to recommend Nursery Rhymes.

Since starting the nursery my daughter has really grown in confidence and she has learnt so much. Nursery Rhymes has been the best decision we have made for her. The staff in the Toddler room have been amazing and my daughter has the best time at nursery. It is such a great nursery and I would recommend
it for any parent to send their child. The care and learning provided are above and beyond. It's been the best experience we as parents have had too.

A lot of thoughtful consideration and care has gone into the making of this nursery, the attention to detail is incredible and it really is a home from home. Each room has a wonderful feel to it - allowing babies/ kids to explore and understand the world, with a real injection of fun and incredible
learning opportunities. The staff are very credible and have a true vested interest in the children (it's not just a job to them, but very much a passion) which is so refreshing and makes the biggest difference - I have complete trust in them, which is so reassuring. The nursery is immaculate, which I appreciate. The security/ safeguarding is 2nd to none and having sent my kids to another nursery prior, I realise just how much Nursery Rhymes do to make this a priority which is fantastic. The updates are always detailed and give a true reflection of their day which I love! The activities that are set up for the children are engaging and fun, always leaving a lasting impression on my kids.

We were thrilled to be able to place our son at Nursery Rhymes. The staff have been really supportive of our first-time experiencing sending our little one to nursery. Our needs and concerns have been thoughtfully and carefully considered and we have been reassured throughout the first few weeks. It's
a wonderful moment of the day to receive updates from the nursery, and to see how much he is thriving. They have a lovely menu for the children to eat from and it is cooked fresh in the nursery setting by their in-house chef. Our son settled in really quickly and I think this is a credit to the staff working with him. His interaction and development is recognised by his key worker and a genuine investment in him is clearly apparent. The environment is beautifully decorated; a calming atmosphere is created. It really allows for exploration and creativity, the activities and resources used are varied. The previous reviews really do represent the qualities of the setting.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.985)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.985) out of 10 for Nursery Rhymes - Knighton is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 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 4.985 for Nursery Rhymes - Knighton is calculated as follows: ( (260 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 264 Ratings = 4.985
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Nursery Rhymes - Knighton is based on 22 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 60 number of registered child places is 12, which has been reached with 22 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
