Our son has been at Nursery Rhymes for two years, full time, now. He is graduating from the toddler room to pre-school next week, in fact. And he loves it! And we love it!


The staff are fab, the facilities are lovely (a great big garden). The staff were especially good during an emergency for our

son last year (11/10 to be precise). He is also learning well and developing a nice social side to his character (which I'm sure would be less visible were he not in this nursery).


So, all in all, Nursery Rhymes comes highly recommended and we are 1000% pleased we made the choice for him to spend his early years here.

My partner and I are extremely happy with Nursery Rhymes. After looking at a few in the area it appealed to us the most in all areas. The staff are great and seem to genuinely care about how your child is. The activities they do are varied and regular picture updates of what our sons been up to are
really nice. Most importantly our son loves it. I couldn’t recommend this nursery enough.

Our daughter has been so happy at Nursery Rhymes. We have always felt very welcomed by all the staff and would definitely recommend to family and friends. The care and attention she has received to date has been excellent. She enjoys the freshly cooked meals so much and enjoys all the different activities.
We also love the Parent Portal app, which means we can check how our daughter is doing throughout the day on our mobiles!

Our son started at Nursery Rhymes when he was 16 months old. Staff are very friendly, approachable and always take on the children's personal preferences. We quickly felt comfortable leaving our son there and we were confident he was being looked after and it was evident he was being fed well. Highly
recommend.

Nursery Rhymes has been a second home for our daughter. She has been very well looked after ever since she started with the nursery since 2013 and we have not had any concerns. The staff are all very polite and always welcome us every day with a big smile. Our daughter looks forward to going to nursery
every morning and has learnt so much throughout her learning journey. Thank you to all at Nursery Rhymes, we are very grateful for all your love and support all the way.

Nursery Rhymes - Leicester has been a great platform in introducing my daughter to her first step towards her education. Staff are very friendly and listen to the needs of my child. Coherent feedback is given each time I pick my daughter up -verbally and orally. Great facilities and resources. Fantastic

Always greeted by friendly staff who listen to you. Nice detailed experience of day events in both written and verbal forms.

Nursery Rhymes is an excellent nursery, the staff are extremely helpful and friendly. The care my daughter receives is brilliant, we as parents put a lot of trust into the nursery and I am delighted to say that Nursery Rhymes does not disappoint. The activities are interesting and varied, and include
a nice amount of 'messy' play and outdoor activities.


Most importantly, my daughter appears to love the nursery, often running straight in without a tear. The food is of a good standard and the support she receives in her all round development is fantastic.

All the staff at Nursery Rhymes are friendly and great with all the children. They have a healthy and varied diet every week, where they get to try various meals. There is a structured education and care which is appropriate to each age group. My little daughter absolutely loves her time at nursery
had will talk to us about what she has done each day telling us about her carers. I would recommend this nursery in a heartbeat.

Our son joined this nursery after my wife returned to work. The staff were great at integrating him and making him feel settled.
A couple of months on, we can see the impact the nurseries had in his speech, play and happiness. He looks forward to nursery each morning.

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.
