Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.

Excellent nursery. They keep us very well informed. The staff use the Famly app which is very easy to use. They have been very flexible and are happy to take our child for extra days if needed. Our child looks forward to attending. I highly recommend Nursery Rhymes.

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.

Nursery Rhymes is a fantastic nursery. All the staff are great with my daughter and give a detailed handover in person and on the app. They've helped me relax into other people looking after her as that was a worry for me. My daughter now leaps into a particular staff members arms when we drop her off
and sometimes has so much fun she wants to stay longer.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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!

Highly recommend Nursery Rhymes nursery in Knighton. I feel so relaxed during my working day knowing the high level of care the staff at the nursery give my daughter, it is like one big family at Nursery Rhymes. My daughter previously had a nanny, so the transition to nursery I was nervous about, but
all the staff at Nursery Rhymes made me feel very at ease. Highly recommend!!

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.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.

I can confidently attest to saying Nursery Rhymes Knighton is a safe and welcoming environment for children.
I look forward to the daily updates and seeing how much my child eats throughout the day. (The food is delicious!)
It's so reassuring as parents to know your child is having a good time and
the quality of care isn't being compromised. The key workers are so gentle and caring towards the children and have a really good understanding of each child, while making their own rapports with them.
The settling in sessions really helped ease any nerves and I was constantly given positive reaffirmations about my child's development and how well they've done on a daily basis.
Every month I receive a milestone update on everything my son has achieved and what skills he's learning; I can't applaud the attention to detail and effort the staff put into each child enough.
I'm very grateful for the staff and key workers and will continue to recommend this nursery to all my friends and family.

My experience with Nursery Rhymes - Knighton has been exceptionally positive. The staff demonstrates a remarkable level of patience and care in their interactions with the children. Their dedication to creating a nurturing environment is evident in their daily activities and overall approach to childcare.
One of the standout features is the frequent sharing of photographs of our child, allowing us to witness her daily activities and milestones. The use of an application to record and track activities is particularly commendable. This technology enables us to stay informed about our child's performance and progress, providing a comprehensive overview of her development in real-time. The staff consistently answer all questions, no matter how trivial they may seem. Their willingness to engage with parents in this manner fosters a supportive and communicative environment. The administrative response is prompt and efficient, ensuring that any inquiries or concerns are addressed swiftly.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.995)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.995) 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 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 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 4.995 for Nursery Rhymes - Knighton is calculated as follows: ( (203 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 204 Ratings = 4.995
  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 17 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 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 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 17 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.
