My son has settled in so well and we know he has been well looked after. We receive updates during the course of the day and he’s literally loving all of the activities. Really impressed and would highly recommend Nursery Rhymes.

We can’t speak highly enough of this nursery. We started using Nursery Rhymes in 2018 and they have always provided the best care for both of our children. The staff are fully in tune with their needs and they have nurtured them in kind and loving ways. Each day is full of fun and learning and it is
always so lovely to hear that their days have been guided by the child’s own interests. We would whole heartily recommend this nursery.

Our son started at Nursery Rhymes when he was 11 months old and we couldn’t be happier with the care and support we have all received. The app used to keep us updated on his day to day activities along with his personal development is fantastic and really helps ease any worries you may have. The staff
are so friendly and our little one has taken to them all so quickly, it’s reassuring to know there is someone there to comfort him if needed. In the baby room, it appears to be very hands-on with fun activities inside and outside every day that keep them entertained and their minds stimulated. We couldn’t fault the nursery in any way and are so happy that we managed to get a place there!

My child has been at the nursery since he was 9months old and our experience with the nursery has been nothing but excellent. His development whilst at the nursery has excelled and has really grown his own independence. He loves going into nursery and talks about nursery and his key workers with excitement.

My little boy has been at nursery rhymes since he was 10 months old, and is heading to school this summer.
He has grown so much and learnt so much, particularly whilst he has been in the preschool room. I don’t mean particularly phonics or maths (although he has learnt these really well), but he has
been taught to be a kind, considerate child. The preschool team were instrumental in him learning to express his emotions, during what has been a really hard year for the children (and everyone else). They are inclusive with every aspect of learning and encourage inquisitive, curious children.
Their affection and patience for the children is evident and the staff foster lovely relationships with their children. We will be very sad to say goodbye to nursery rhymes in the summer when he heads to school.

Picking Nursery Rhymes for my son's nursery was definitely the best decision we made. It has been a great experience, not only for my son, but for us as parents too. The nursery has always met our needs and always addressed anything promptly. My son has built great relationships at the nursery and has
really grown into a confident individual.

Nursery Rhymes - Leicester has exceeded my expectations and I would definitely recommend it to all of my friends. My son loves all the activities and outdoor space, as well as the great food which he always mentions on pick-up! The staff are all incredible and go above and beyond to ensure our son is
happy and comfortable. His key worker spends lots of time developing a relationship with him and genuinely wants to get to know him and his interests. During Covid-19, we have felt very reassured with the procedures put in place and can see the commitment of all the staff who work there.

My daughter has been with Nursery Rhymes - Leicester for three years now and we were so grateful to have found such a great place for my daughter to spend her crucial early years, we visited a few nurseries and we chose Nursery Rhymes - Leicester as we had a great feeling about the place and were fully
confident that it is somewhere where she would flourish and be happy. Every single staff member we have come in contact with has been amazingly attentive and caring, my daughter has made some great friendships along the way, she loves the fun activities and play both indoors and outdoors and the excellent variety of meals on offer, has kept meal times exciting and interesting. I could not recommend this nursery highly enough, thanks to everyone at Nursery Rhymes - Leicester for taking great care of our daughter every week!

Fantastic nursery, is it any wonder my child calls it another home ‘nursery house’. All staff are friendly and accommodating to my child’s needs. Genuinely have peace of mind that my child is being looked after to the highest standard at all times. Couldn’t recommend the nursery enough. Thank you Nursery

My eldest daughter went to Nursery Rhymes - Leicester from nine months old until she went to school and my youngest daughter is currently there. It is an exceptional nursery with wonderful staff who provide excellent childcare, support and reassurance to parents with their warm and friendly nature.
The nursery is like a home from home with a great outdoor space and age specific play areas, they encourage imaginative play and hands on messy play and crafts. Both of my girls have been happy throughout their time at Nursery Rhymes - Leicester and have grown in confidence. My eldest is more sensitive and was to begin with quite shy, she left Nursery Rhymes - Leicester confident and ready for school. I would highly recommend this nursery.

This is a child centred nursery. Our son was settled in last week with an outstanding team of staff. First, I was pleasantly surprised to learn that my son will organically chose his key worker, rather than assigned arbitrarily by a member of staff. This really assured me that all decisions are made
with the child in mind. The team have been supportive, compassionate and very patient with both my son and myself. They have constantly kept be updated with his progress and reassured me throughout the day via phone calls, messages, pictures and videos. This is a digital first nursery and they have invested in technology and utilise it efficiently to ensure clear lines of communication. They have correctly balanced this forward thinking and professionalism with personal and bespoke care for the babies. In particular, the baby room and key worker for my son has been outstanding. She has a naturally caring, compassionate personality and has worked incredibly hard with my baby.

We felt very nervous about leaving our son in someone else's care during the pandemic, however, the staff at Nursery Rhymes have been amazing and it's unbelievable how well and quickly he has settled in. Everyone seems really caring and responsive. The use of the parent app has been a particular highlight
as it makes communication much easier and we love seeing photo updates during the day. Would highly recommend.

Nursery Rhymes - Leicester is without a doubt one of the most professional, caring and trustworthy childcare establishments I have come across. The staff are genuinely attentive in the needs of both the children and the parents and show a high-level of care and dedication. As soon as you walk into the
nursery you can feel the warmth and comfort from the settings, the children and the staff. The rooms and amazing garden have all been set up to a high and safe standard according to the appropriate age groups with a whole array of learning and interactive tools. Best of all my children both love coming to nursery and have had amazing experiences. Their social interaction skills have come across immensely since starting and they made some great friends. Thank you Nursery Rhymes - Leicester.

Nursery Rhymes - Leicester is like home from home for the children they care for, this is what drew me to the nursery at my first visit. The staff in the baby room were so caring and loving with our little girl, although she took some time to settle, they were patient and attentive to her needs. The
staff do so much with the children when they move to the toddler room. I love that the children have plenty of outdoor play and the way they educate children through play is exemplary. There’s always a smile on our daughters face after attending nursery.

The level of service we have received from Nursery Rhymes has been exceptional from the start. In what must have been a turbulent year for the staff, their care and attention for our son has always felt like their top priority. The facilities at the nursery are great, we have had clear communication
from staff, and their use of new technologies such as the virtual doorbell for drop-offs and pickups have been a big help to us as parents. Hearing our son talk about all of the activities and fun he has had during the day is the biggest stamp of approval of all. Thank you to everyone involved at Nursery Rhymes for doing such a great job!

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.952)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.952) out of 10 for Nursery Rhymes - Stoneygate is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 40 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 40 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.952 for Nursery Rhymes - Stoneygate is calculated as follows: ( (460 Excellents x 5) + (17 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 480 Ratings = 4.952

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Nursery Rhymes - Stoneygate is based on 40 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 70 number of registered child places is 14, which has been reached with 40 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
