A fantastic nursery that we're really happy with. My daughter has recently started in the baby room, and the staff have been incredibly attentive, caring, and communicative, which has made the transition so much easier for both of us.
The nursery also offers a wide range of activities and experiences for the children! We especially love how they involve parents in special events and activities-it really helps you feel part of your child's journey. Highly recommended!
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 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.
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.
The updates are brilliant, and I love the 'in real time' sleep update - that's so helpful to me!
I couldn't reccomend Nursery Rhymes enough!
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.
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.
An outstanding nursery with truly dedicated and caring staff. They create a warm, safe and nurturing environment where children thrive. Our child has grown in confidence and happiness and the level of care and communication is excellent. A wonderful nursery.
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.
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.
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.
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.
