Overall Experience

I would not even give a 1 star review. Theres not enough space on this page for me to write what went wrong with this place. However, if your child has any allergies or intolerances then please do not send your child here as on three occasions they have caused x1 reaction with my son, x1 near reaction

x1 intolerance flare up. They do the most to lie and cover up what's happened, they breach data protection, they get family members and staff to leave reviews covering up bad reviews. They do not keep children safe at all, how this place hasn't been shut down I do not know. They block you off everything so people can't see your review, they lie to other parents about a serious incident that happened with my child because other parents have seen it on social media, they protect their staff that cause said incident! Disgusting place.

Overall Experience

My daughter has attended Rocking Horse since she was 9 months old until now as she's about to start her school journey. The 3+ years she has been there I cannot fault any of the staff there. They have always had the children's happiness and safety as their number 1 priority. They have been like a little

extended family to not only my child who attends but myself and her older brother too. From day 1 when we were still unable to go inside with them due to Covid and trying to navigate a new normal right up to preparing her for school they have been fantastic. If any of the children are experiencing trouble in their day-to-day life it's bedtime routine, eating habits or changes in circumstances they try to help and teach them by incorporating it into their daily learning. And no matter how challenging they always have a huge smile on their faces. There's not a single thing I can fault I just wish my girl could stay there forever. Thank you all for preparing her for the next journey.

Reply from Hannah Downes, Manager at Rocking Horse Kindergarten - Rugby

Thank you so much for your kind words. Covid definitely had a huge impact on all, but we all did our best to help support children and parents. We wish all of our little ones can stay with us forever too. We can't wait to see all of the children grow and flourish in their next adventure. We will miss you and your family but wish you all the best.

Overall Experience

I couldn't be happier with my decision to enrol my son at Rocking Horse Kindergarten. The environment is warm and welcoming, and it's clear that the staff genuinely cares about the well-being and development of each child.
The curriculum is engaging and thoughtfully designed, promoting both learning

and fun. The teachers are exceptionally patient, attentive and skilled at fostering a nurturing atmosphere. I especially appreciate the open communication and regular updates on our son's progress. The facilities are clean, safe, and well-equipped with a variety of toys and learning materials that keep the children entertained and stimulated. Outdoor playtime is a highlight, with a spacious and secure playground that allows the kids to explore and expend their energy.
Overall, Rocking Horse Kindergarten has exceeded my expectations in every way. I highly recommend it to any parent looking for a supportive and enriching environment for their child.

Reply from Hannah Downes, Manager at Rocking Horse Kindergarten - Rugby

Thank you so much for your kind words. We like to have a home-from-home experience to make the children and parents feel at ease during their time with us. It is so lovely to hear you would recommend us. Thank you

It is a very good nursery and my son has always been very happy of attending. They prepare lots of activities for children to learn and enjoy all day and everyday.
Also the communication with parents is good through the app, as well as in person when you leave and collect the children.

Reply from Hannah Downes, Manager at Rocking Horse Kindergarten - Rugby

Thank you for your kind words. We do like to let the children experience lots of different activities throughout the day to gain life experiences and learn through play. We wish your child the best of luck in his next adventure at big school.

My little one is graduating from kindergarten next month. She went to Rocking Horse for 3 years. I would like to say a big thank you to all the wonderful people in Rocking Horse!
You helped her open up, and learn many new things, you were a second home for her.
The staff and management are fantastic

and they clearly love their job! Always friendly and helpful!
It is really great place for the children to learn and grow!

Overall Experience

My son has been at the nursery for almost a year, I was so emotional about leaving him, they have always kept me updated and sent photos to assure me he was ok, one day I left crying and was called before I reached work to make sure I was ok and let me know my son was happily having breakfast. My son

now gets out the car really excited runs in, has hugs for all the nursery staff. You can see how much he loves them and they love him. The manager always goes above and beyond, she always has time for a chat, she always promptly deals with any enquiries. I feel so comfortable leaving my son in her care. She's extremely down-to-earth and understanding. The nursery plays a huge part in our lives, not only caring for my son while I work but as a support network with advice and tips. Honestly would be lost without them! And they open from 7am!

Reply from Nabila Bibi, Manager at Rocking Horse Kindergarten - Coventry

The staff and myself only want and provide the best for the children! I believe that being understanding and approachable is key when you are leaving your children in our care! Thank you very much for your kind words!

Fantastic care given by all the girls in there towards my daughter, she's known by her name by all the girls. She's always greeted so lovely by them. She's made loads of friends and has developed into a really outgoing, sociable girl. We're so grateful for all the work the girls do with her.
They've

definitely helped her develop so much since she started.
She loves attending every day for her session and bounces through the doors every time.
Full of smiles, positivity and care.
We could recommend all the ladies here enough. Genuinely.

Overall Experience

My one-year-old started nursery the week after her first birthday. We are so very impressed with the nursery and its staff. My little girl settled so quickly and the app updates are really reassuring for us as parents. It helps us to feel like we aren’t completely missing out on what she is getting

up to. Developmentally we are really impressed with all of the activities she does daily but most importantly we feel such reassurance from the kindness and gentleness of staff who have made our daughter thrive and settle so quickly. We visited so many nurseries before deciding on Rocking Horse and are so pleased with our choice. Thank you.

Reply from Hannah Downes, Manager at Rocking Horse Kindergarten - Rugby

Thank you for your kind words. We endeavour to have a home-from-home experience and we are really happy she has settled in well.

Our 9-month-old daughter has been attending for 2 months and she seems genuinely happy to be left off in the mornings.
The staff in the baby room are extremely friendly and we are very happy with the care they give our daughter. They have given us great advice and support with feeding and baby development.

We like the opening hours (7-6) and the regular updates we get on the app they use as it makes us feel involved. All the staff have been super attentive.
(Shoutout to a staff member in the baby room for her amazing support of our daughter).

My daughter has been with Rocking Horse since the beginning of 2021. She is going to miss every one of the adults. Luckily my son starts in Butterflies in January so I’ll be able to keep seeing them. Everyone has been fantastic and done a brilliant job with all children. Very understanding and easy

to talk to from a parent's perspective.

Overall Experience

The staff are so attentive and they involve parents with activities. The baby room is exceptionally creative, my daughter absolutely loves attending and has amazing bonds with all the staff. They have beautiful grounds, with a lot of outdoor play incorporated into the learning styles. They also have

a woodland area where the children can explore. The food is cooked fresh daily and they fully accommodate my daughter's dietary requirements! The nursery have an app that updates me daily with nappy changes, nap times, food intake and pictures. It also shows me the learning styles and milestones my child goes through! They accommodate my child’s additional needs and nothing is ever a problem; if I’m running late, stuck in traffic, or need an extra day, they support me. This is an outstanding nursery, I would highly recommend to any parent looking to place their baby into a nursery! They really make me feel part of the team and I feel they love my child as if she was their own!

My daughter has been attending Rocking Horse for over a year now and absolutely loves it! She has created incredible bonds with all staff and always asks to go to nursery on the days she doesn’t attend.
The nursery consists of brilliant practitioners who look after all children and cater to everyone's

needs!
Hands down would recommend for any child! The nursery keeps you up to date through an online app, which includes pictures, observations, meals and nappy changes!
Thank you Rocking Horse for helping my baby girl flourish every single day!
