Review from A M (Mother of Child) published on 11 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter absolutely loves going to this nursery, which says everything. She has settled in so well, and that is entirely down to the amazing, caring, and dedicated staff.
The team go above and beyond to make the children feel safe, happy, and engaged. It's clear they genuinely care about each child's development and wellbeing. I'm always kept well informed about my daughter's day, which gives me great peace of mind.

The staff are brilliant with all the children in the setting, creating a warm and nurturing environment where they can learn and thrive. I couldn't recommend this nursery highly enough.

Review from P C (Mother of Child) published on 11 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

This is such a lovely childcare setting. My son started at the nursery at 17 months old, I was nervous about how he would settle in but my worries were soon eased, the staff are amazing, they are all very friendly welcoming patient and understanding of each child's individual needs. Communication is excellent and I love recieving daily updates throughout the day about what my son is doing and photos aswell. My son's development has improved since starting and he's settled in well. He loves going to nursery. The setting itself, is welcoming, warm and clean. My son enjoys the range of activities and learning. There is also a variety of food options for the children. I would 100% recommend this setting.

Review from L H (Mother of Child) published on 11 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

From the first time I visited the nursery I enjoyed the calm and nurturing environment, decor and equipment available for the children. The large outdoor spaces continue to be improved so the children can enjoy spending time outside.

I've been so pleased with how my child has settled in and it's clear to see how much he is learning. He settled in very quickly and has developed good relationships with his fun and kind caregivers. I can tell he genuinely looks forward to going in on a morning and is always happy when I pick him up so I know he has had a good day.

I receive regular updates on my child's wellbeing and progress and communication on other general matters is also very good.

I was particularly impressed with how the nursery has handled the recent hot weather and the care everyone took to look after the children and keep them cool.

I am looking forward to seeing the continuing development of my child with Rocking Horse.

Review from Rebecca B (Mother of Child) published on 11 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

If you feel that after maternity, you're dreading sending your child to a nursery. Feel trapped, feel it goes all against everything you've read on social media about how your baby should be home with you. Get offline and go see Rocking Horse nursery and have your mindset completely changed. This nursery blew me away when I went to view them. I asked every question under the sun about attachment, sleep, routine, structure, responsive care, crying, nutrition and the owner had a comprehensive understanding of all of this without any hesitation on how to answer the question. So I sent my son. To say he is happy is an understatement, if we drive past the nursery on his days off, he is pointing, calling he key workers name to go to nursery. He absolutely loves it and it's all because of the staff. They treat him like their own, all the staff alternate to greet you at the door, it's safe and secure, the garden is like an enchanted special little escape, the food is home cooked.
