Overall Experience

A Loving and Nurturing Environment for Little Learners!
I can't say enough wonderful things about The Rocking Horse Kindergarten From the moment you walk in, you feel the warmth and care that the staff provides. The teachers are incredibly patient, kind, and dedicated to the children's growth and happiness.

My child has blossomed here-learning new skills, making friends, and developing confidence in such a loving environment.
The curriculum is thoughtfully designed, balancing learning and play in a way that keeps the little ones engaged and excited.
Cleanliness and safety are top priorities, and as a parent, I truly appreciate the attention to detail in maintaining a hygienic and secure space. Communication with parents is also fantastic-they always keep us updated with photos, progress reports, and fun anecdotes about our child's day.
I wholeheartedly recommend The Rocking Horse kindergarten to any parent looking for a nurturing and stimulating environment for their little one.

Overall Experience

My little girl has been at rockinghorse since I went back to work. She was 10 months old. She is now 3.5 and is happy and settled here. She often asks to see staff on the weekends! The girls in the rooms work hard and endlessly to ensure the children are happy and have lots to keep them occupied.
The

outdoor facilities are great. My daughter has come on leaps and bounds, is now learning to write her name and they've helped to teach her to ride a bike and Lots of skills she will take with her once she leaves for school!

Overall a fantastic nursery and staff! My son has been going here since he was 9 months old, his overall learning and development has come on leaps and bounds!
The staff are amazing, they support my child with all needs, even when it comes down to a simple cuddle.
My child has another 18 months

of care at the nursery until he starts school and I'm sure he's development will continue to strive!
Thank you Rocking Horse Kindergarten.

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 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

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).

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!

I sent my daughter here as she was very unsettled in a local nursery and I was recommended Rocking Horse. I was a bit scared due to my daughter being so unsettled and wasn't sure how she shall cope. But I'm so happy that I sent her here. This was the best thing for her. She loves the staff and they

love her back so much. She totally adores three members in particular. The manager is brilliant, she reassured me in every way and helped in every step, and met all my needs. The staff are an asset I can't thank them enough, they are all brilliant. I don't think my little girl wants to leave now, you have totally pampered her. If I could leave more than 5 star I would.

My little girl has been attending Rocking Horse Kindergarten - Coventry for almost 2 years now, she started when she was 8 months old and all the staff there are so loving and caring and go above and beyond, it really is like home from home, the management team are very supportive and helpful.
I can

not talk highly about the care that is given to my child. The nursery is well resourced and the children have a variety of activities available to them at all times.
The staff keep me updated on the app that is used for daily feedback and observations. The information is always accurate and if I have any questions the staff team are all fantastic at getting back to me.
The provision is always outstanding, the management team are robust and I couldn't be happier with the care my daughter is given.
You all do a fantastic job!

Overall, an outstanding nursery. All three of my children attended Rocking Horse Kindergarten, leaving to go to school, social, engaging and ready for the next steps. Staff are lovely, professional and very caring.
And now my grandson goes to where his mum went. Couldn’t ask for better care. Still

the same nursery owner and staff are still so caring and informative. What can I say, a five-star nursery with activities and routines to keep my grandson motivated and learning. Highly recommend this place.

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

Thank you for your review, we are happy that the service we provide, is still of a very high standard.
The staff have regular mandatory training to complete to ensure that they are up to date with any changes to guidelines, policies, procedures and the early years foundation stage (EYFS) curriculum.

I could not recommend this nursery enough! My son has been attending Rocking Horse Kindergarten since around 6 months of age and has a great relationship with all of the staff and really enjoys attending nursery. They have been excellent at meeting all of my sons dietary needs from the change to lactose

free and now soya products there was always products available for him the very next day. They also send you updates and photos throughout the day to see what activities your little one has been up to which is lovely and very reassuring when you're at work!

Overall Experience

I sent my son here for a week. The first couple of days were fine, everything suddenly went downhill. My son had only been there one week and they expected my son to tell them when he needed a toilet. I was told he was told off as he ran into the hallway. I think he was trying to go to the toilet as

he'd seen other kids go but was told to go back into the room. After that, I went to pick him up and I was told I was late a few times. I said I'd speak to the manager where I said I have an 18month old baby which takes me 2 minutes to get out of the car as well to collect my son. The manager stated maybe I should leave earlier. I have a live location and times saved on my phone that show I was on the grounds 10 to 15 minutes early but as the staff open the door late I was waiting outside, then to be told by one member of staff I need to pick my son up on time. The observation of my son was also incorrect. They stated he did not know his ABC or numbers. He is very passionate about his learning, if only they spent time with him.

Reply from Nb, Manager at Rocking Horse Kindergarten - Coventry

We are sorry that your 1 week's experience was not as positive as all of our other parents. We have taken on board your comments. All the best.
