As first-time parents, finding a nursery that feels like a home away from home can be daunting!
After searching many nurseries, I came across Nursery Rhymes Knighton, where Linda, the manager, was so welcoming during our open day. She showed us around and explained all the pricing packages in a way that was easy to understand. More importantly, Linda was always happy to answer any questions we had.
One year into nursery, my son absolutely loves it! When he was in the baby room, the staff were amazing and supported him so well throughout his transition. Now, approximately six months into the toddler room, Stacey and all the other staff members are doing a fantastic job! The care, love and support they show the children really do make a difference.
Whilst we do sometimes face challenges at drop-off due to our household dynamics, it is reassuring to know that our son is in such caring and capable hands.
The fresh food, the app, and the overall atmosphere make the nursery feel like a h
What a lovely review to read, especially knowing how much thought you put into choosing the right nursery for your little boy!

What a lovely review to read, especially knowing how much thought you put into choosing the right nursery for your little boy!
It's wonderful to hear that Linda made you feel so welcome from that very first visit and that, a year on, you're still just as happy with your decision.
We know that drop-offs aren't always easy, even when children absolutely love nursery, so it's especially reassuring to hear that you feel confident in the care he receives. It's been lovely seeing him progress from the baby room into toddlers, and we're so pleased that Stacey and the team have helped make that journey such a positive one.
We'll make sure Linda, Stacey and the rest of the team see your kind words. They'll be really touched to know the difference they've made to your family.
Thank you for choosing Nursery Rhymes and for trusting us with your little boy. We look forward to seeing him continue to grow, learn and enjoy lots more adventures with us!

Our daughter has been attending Nursery Rhymes Knighton for over 2 years now. It has a warm 'home away from home' atmosphere, where children feel safe, happy and encouraged to explore and grow. We have always felt our daughter is exceptionally well looked after, and encouraged to be herself. The lovely team provide so many wonderful opportunities to learn in a structured, engaging environment through meaningful play. It has been great to watch our daughter grow in confidence every day and the things she has learnt never cease to amaze us. We honestly can't recommend Nursery Rhymes enough!

Thank you so much for such lovely words! Having your daughter with us for over two years means we've had the pleasure of watching her grow, learn and develop her own little personality, which is such a special part of what we do.
We especially loved reading that she's always been encouraged to be herself. Every child is different, and seeing their confidence grow as they discover new things, make friendships and surprise us with what they're capable of is what makes nursery life so rewarding!
It's also really lovely to hear that you notice all those little things she's learning when she's at home. We sometimes forget just how much children take in during their busy nursery days!
Thank you for being with us for so long and for trusting our Knighton team with such an important part of your daughter's childhood. It really does mean a lot to us all.
My child enjoys her time at nursery. Her confidence has grown, her language and vocabulary has expanded. She has become more sociable with others. Good communication from the nursery support workers and room leaders. Professional attitude.

My daughter has been attending Nursery Rhymes Knighton for almost six months, and I couldn't be happier with the care she receives. As a first-time parent, the frequent updates about her food, nappies, sleep, playtime and development have been incredibly reassuring.
Nicky is especially wonderful and feels like extended family. I know my daughter is in safe hands and that we'll be informed straight away if anything is wrong.
The weekly Hartbeeps sessions are another fantastic benefit. The familiar group, teacher and more personal environment help her engage, explore and participate far more than she did at larger classes.
Although I always miss her, it's lovely knowing she's happy, making friends, exploring indoors and outdoors, and building her confidence. The regular updates and easy-to-use app give us real peace of mind.
What a wonderful review, thank you for sharing such thoughtful feedback!

It's especially lovely to hear how much peace of mind our regular updates give you as a first-time parent. We know how precious those little details are, from what they've eaten to the new things they've discovered throughout the day!
We're delighted that your daughter is growing in confidence, making friends and enjoying everything nursery has to offer. It's also fantastic to hear how much she's benefiting from our Hartbeeps sessions, particularly being able to enjoy them in a familiar environment with her friends.
And what lovely words about Nicky! Saying she feels like extended family is such a special compliment and really reflects the close relationships our team work so hard to build with the children and their families.
Thank you for trusting us with your little girl. It's a privilege to be part of these important early years and watch her confidence and personality blossom!

We honestly couldn't be happier with the nursery and the care our little boy receives from the whole team.
Starting nursery was a big transition for all of us, and those first few weeks certainly came with plenty of tears! But the team were so patient, caring and supportive, helping him settle at his own pace.
A special mention has to go to Nicky, his key worker, who he absolutely adores. It's so lovely to see the bond they've built and how happy and comfortable he is around her.
Seeing how far he's come, from those tearful drop-offs to now being so excited and happy to go in every morning, says everything about the environment they've created.
It's such a lovely feeling knowing he's happy, cared for and enjoying his time at nursery. We're so grateful to Nicky and the whole team for making such a difference to his journey!

Reetu, it's so lovely to read this and hear just how far your little boy has come since those first few emotional weeks!
Starting nursery can be such a big milestone for children and parents alike, and we know those early drop-offs aren't always easy. Seeing children gradually grow in confidence, build friendships and eventually come running through the door excited for their day is one of the most rewarding parts of what we do.
It's especially lovely to hear about the wonderful bond he's developed with Nicky. Having that special connection with a key worker makes such a difference, and we're sure Nicky will be absolutely thrilled to read your kind words!
Thank you for recognising the patience, love and care our team put into helping every child settle and feel at home. It really does mean a lot!

From the moment we first visited Nursery Rhymes, we knew straight away that it was the nursery for us and our children.
It truly has a home-from-home feel, creating such a warm, welcoming and loving environment. Both of our boys attend Nursery Rhymes, and we've experienced all three rooms - the baby room, toddler room and preschool room - and we honestly couldn't be happier with the care they receive.
They absolutely love going to nursery, and as parents, there's no better feeling than knowing your children are happy, settled and in such safe, caring hands. It gives us so much reassurance knowing they're surrounded by people who genuinely care about them and their happiness.
I couldn't recommend Nursery Rhymes enough. It's everything you could want from a nursery and so much more!
The staff are all fantastic. Thank you to the whole team for everything you do.
Nisha, what an absolutely wonderful review!

Creating that genuine home-from-home feeling is at the heart of everything we do, so hearing that you felt it from your very first visit is especially lovely.
There's nothing better for our team than seeing children arrive happy and excited for their day, building those special relationships and watching their confidence grow along the way.
Thank you for your continued trust in us and for taking the time to recognise the care and dedication of our wonderful staff. They'll be absolutely delighted to read your kind words
Excellent nursery which is perfect for our little girl. She absolutely loves her fun filled day and is learning so much. Staff are friendly and very approachable. Highly recommend this nursery. We're very impressed with the communication from all staff.

We're especially pleased you mentioned how approachable our staff are and the communication you receive. Having that open, friendly relationship with parents is something we really value, and it makes such a difference when we're all working together to support each child's development.
Thank you for your recommendation and for sharing such lovely feedback about our team!

The staff at Nursery Rhymes go above and beyond to create a warm, welcoming atmosphere. My daughter has built strong and meaningful relationships with staff.
The range of enriching learning opportunities is truly impressive. From engaging daily activities to unique experiences such as French lessons and forest school. The children are encouraged to discover and develop a genuine love of learning.
Families are made to feel like an integral part of the nursery community, with regular celebration events. Communication is excellent and as parents we are kept well-informed.
Trips enhance the children's experiences, providing valuable real-world learning opportunities and plenty of excitement.
The dedication and professionalism of the team shine through in every aspect of the nursery.

Our child has been attending since Nursery Rhymes opened in April 2024 and we could not be more pleased with our decision to place him there. It truly is "home away from home" and we have never had any concerns regarding the care he receives there. He walks in happily and greets us with a smile at pick up - nothing more reassuring than this for us. The staff are excellent and genuinely take an interest in every child. So when it came to our second child, there was no thought about it - we booked their place straight away!
Our son has been in this nurturing setting since August 2024 and his sister will be joining in August 2026. Stacey, Paige and the whole toddler room team are so warm and supportive and genuinely care about our son. He enjoys his time, particularly in the garden, and also the variety of play and...
Our son has been in this nurturing setting since August 2024 and his sister will be joining in August 2026. Stacey, Paige and the whole toddler room team are so warm and supportive and genuinely care about our son. He enjoys his time, particularly in the garden, and also the variety of play and activities available.
Additionally, they have shown immense community to me when I've needed support with my new baby, eg nappy change or spare clothes when she unexpectedly has a blow out on the way to collection. I've felt very supported and safe with the team.
We have been incredibly happy with this nursery since our daughter first started attending in 2024. Over the past year, we've seen her grow and flourish as she transitioned from the toddler room into preschool, and it's been such a positive experience for both her and us as parents.

We have been incredibly happy with this nursery since our daughter first started attending in 2024. Over the past year, we've seen her grow and flourish as she transitioned from the toddler room into preschool, and it's been such a positive experience for both her and us as parents.
What stands out most is how genuinely invested the staff are in each child. They take the time to understand her personality, interests, and individual needs, which has made a huge difference in her confidence and development. It's clear that they don't just supervise the children-they actively engage with them, encourage their curiosity, and support their learning through thoughtful activities.
We've loved seeing how excited she is to share what she's done each day, whether it's creative play, learning new skills, or building friendships. The transition between rooms was handled smoothly, and the staff ensured she felt comfortable and supported every step of the way.

The key workers have really looked and focussed on ensuring my son was striving for the next steps of education. They take the time to accommodate all the children and their play needs. The forest school, French classes and trips out are just an added bonus. The normal day to day care to the children speaks volumes with seeing how happy the children are when they come to Nursery Rhymes at the start of their day.
My son absolutely loves going to this Nursery & I am so happy we managed to get a space for him.

We couldn't be happier with the care and support our son receives at nursery rhymes. As parents of a child with additional health and educational needs, finding the right environment was incredibly important, and the team here have been truly wonderful throughout our journey so far.
They have taken the time to understand his individual needs and have supported both him and us with kindness, patience, and professionalism. All staff genuinely care about every child in their setting.
The nursery provides a wide variety of engaging activities, helping our son learn, develop, and enjoy his time there. The environment is clean, welcoming, and friendly.
Most importantly, our son absolutely loves going to nursery. We're so grateful for the positive impact they've had on his development.

We couldn't be happier with our experience at Nursery Rhymes. It truly is an excellent, homely setting where children feel safe, nurtured, and valued from the moment they walk through the door. The staff are exceptional - they genuinely care about each child, taking the time to really get to know them as individuals. The communication between staff and parents is also outstanding, which gives us real peace of mind. The nursery offers such wonderful opportunities for the children, from forest school sessions to trips to the theatre. It creates a fun and enriching environment that my son absolutely loves. What stands out most for us is how inclusive Nursery Rhymes is. My son has special educational needs, and the team go above and beyond to make adaptations and celebrate every achievement, no matter how small. The progress he has made is incredible - just 10 months ago he was non-verbal, and now he is speaking in full sentences. Most importantly, our child is happy, safe and nurtured.
Our son thoroughly enjoys nursery. The staff are excellent and genuinely care about the children's likes, wants and needs. The nursery is inclusive and caters to the diverse needs of all its young people.

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.
