My son has been extremely happy during his time at Nursery Rhymes and he is excited to attend each day. The staff have created a really caring and nurturing environment, and work hard to ensure the children are well looked after. It is well run and the management team respond quickly to any questions/requests.
The children get to spend lots of time outside and there's plenty of space to run around. I would definitely recommend Nursery Rhymes to parents looking for an engaging and nurturing setting for their child.

Both of our children go to Nursery Rhymes and they love the gardens, staff and food. They have a huge garden to play in and do lots of lovely creative activities which the staff have come up with. They enjoy the home-cooked food and always come home with a smile at the end of the day!

I can't even begin to express how glad I am that my son started at Nursery Rhymes Day Nursery! My son is Autistic and has a lot of needs. I was terrified to leave him in a nursery setting, but knew it was important for his communication skills. Nursery Rhymes have gone above and beyond from the start
to accommodate my son. They've given him the best care every day he's been in the setting, alongside having the most beautiful outdoor space with incredible toys and resources (and animals).
As other SEN parents will know, the amount of paperwork involved for an SEN child is extensive and Nursery Rhymes haven't just completed what was needed (and as thoroughly as possible), but also supported me with my paperwork, referrals and support I've needed for my son starting school.
They have made adjustments for him to feel safe, happy and relaxed every day there and he couldn't love going more! He has also made incredible progress because of the staff's care, hard work and understanding.

Reply from Kim Berry, Manager at Nursery Rhymes Day Nursery

Thank you so much for this review, so lovely to read and we are so glad you chose Nursery Rhymes for him. We will most certainly be sad to see him go.

My daughter started here and was very reserved, they gave her great confidence and she came out of her shell. She loved this nursery so much and the staff were fantastic honestly. If I hadn't moved from the area, my child would have still been here. The learning, the activities, the outdoor space, everything
is just 5 star.

I have continually had children at this nursery for the last 7 years and have 2 more years to go. My children have always been so happy here! They are so well looked after and have so many activities to participate in. The communication with parents is fantastic, which is so important for parents. I
would definitely recommend it here.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

I was a bit apprehensive about starting my son at nursery at only 9 months old, but due to the kind, caring and welcoming team he settled in straight away. He's been going 4 days a week for almost a year now and he's really come on leaps and bounds in terms of socialising, literacy and good manners.
Sometimes when I collect him he'd rather stay and play than come home! The girls are so caring and share lots of updates of all the fun and inventive activities they get up to. I couldn't recommend them enough and I'm so happy we were recommended them by other parents! Just make sure you reserve your spot early as they do book up.
I must mention the garden and the ducks, one of my boy's favourites, he loves showing me them! Their outdoor areas are massive and full of outdoor toys and water play which is another big bonus!
The varied meal options are another highlight, and I think it's helped my son not be a picky eater as there is so much variety - I applaud the cooks!

I couldn't ask for a more loving and caring setting for my little boy. Staff are always so kind and helpful and my baby is so happy here. The gardens are beautiful and to see the social media updates of what my son has been up to is the highlight of my Friday.
Thank you so much everyone at Nursery
Rhymes for helping to give my boy the best start in life and allowing him to explore and play in the safest and most exciting way!

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

The moment my twins started at nursery they were greeted with warm open arms, and huge smiling faces and the staff were fantastic with us too! They are just what a little one needs to meet, my two now run in the door and don't look back, only after a few months, and cry when they have to leave. They
want to stay and play for longer. They are so well looked after by the babies team and management, I feel they are in very safe hands, so I don't worry at all. They follow my lead with sleep, they have supported them from day one as I asked. I feel they are honest with how things are going, and if one is not happy/unwell they would call me. I love all the wooden toys they have access to, and the outside is amazing! Their favourite part is meeting the ducks every morning. They always come back with a change of clothes from water or messy play which they love and is a good sign they have had a great day exploring. I'd highly recommend the nursery to future parents.

My son absolutely loves his time at nursery. The staff are friendly and engaging, the children love them and they are polite and informative when engaging with parents. There are always themed events and special days happening at the nursery which engage and educate the children about a variety of topics.
The staff keep us updated on his progress during the day with eating and sleeping and we get a good handover at the end of the day telling us what he has done and what he has enjoyed.

Our daughter started with Nursery Rhymes in February of this year, we cannot speak more highly of the staff looking after her. They have done everything possible to make her feel happy and settled and their communication with parents is second to none. This was a different setting from our first child
and we are so pleased that we made the switch. We are confident that she is getting the best possible care, and you can see how much she enjoys her time each day.

As a professional with over 14 years of experience in primary school teaching, I really wanted to choose a nursery for my son which had the same alignment of values. Nursery Rhymes are the most nurturing environment and they have given my son the best opportunities to settle, succeed and develop a sense
of independence. Above all, they have enabled his well-being to thrive - he is happy at nursery. The team are extremely welcoming and understanding, and they know how to best accommodate families, appreciating everyone individually. Myself and the other parents, who are lucky enough to have our children attend this nursery, are so appreciative of every extra effort they take and all the experiences they organise - what a brilliant team - you deserve to be celebrated.

My little boy loves this beautiful, inspiring and child-centred nursery and as parents so do we! The staff are friendly, caring, loving and they know each child individually which enables the team to plan meticulously to meet the needs and interests of each child. There are always so many creative activities
for the children to be immersed in, both indoors and outdoors. It is clear that thought and care is put into the planning to ensure the children are able to become curious, enthusiastic and happy learners. The nursery setting itself is stunning and the gardens are used frequently. We love that there are lots of different themed days and outdoor classroom day is just out of this world. As a parent, it's a comforting thing to know that your child is in a safe, enjoyable environment with nurturing, engaging and cheerful staff. Five stars from us!

We have loved Nursery Rhymes, they have been so wonderful with both of our children. They let the children just be children, with all the love and attention you would want from a nursery. They create an extremely creative and exciting environment. My children run, skip and jump into the nursery every
day. To top it off there are lovely ducks waddling around the garden, I couldn't love the nursery more.

This is such a wonderful nursery. In the 7 years I've been sending my kids there, I have been so impressed with all aspects of the experience my kids have had. The staff are incredibly professional, dedicated and caring. They go above and beyond with the variety of activities available, celebrating
every festival and event in an exciting way. The management of the nursery is excellent and consistent and they are extremely knowledgeable. I love the outdoor space they have, the gardens, the play equipment and the woodland area. I will genuinely be sad when my last kid leaves this setting. Thank you, Nursery Rhymes!

Great site with lots of outdoor space. They have their own rabbits and ducks which is lovely.
The staff are all so caring and kind. They put effort into making new play scenarios and activities for the children.
When we have had a few tricky things to navigate (child wise not nursery-wise) they have
been so supportive and helpful with suggestions and hands-on support.
Our child often doesn't want to come home at pick-up time as he's having such a fun time playing with his friends.
I can't rate it highly enough. I feel very fortunate that our little one has had Nursery Rhymes care for him over the last 3.5 years. Thank you so much. The staff truly are amazing.

A special place full of wonderful people. Having had a pretty terrible experience at another nursery (connected to a local private school in Hatherley), Nursery Rhymes has shown us how things should be done! The staff created such a lovely environment and our daughter seems so happy there. The theme
days, teaching and activities are always great. Having had two older daughters who attended the same nursery 12 and 10 years ago respectively, we all feel very much like part of the family.

We're very happy with Nursery Rhymes Nursery. It has a lovely happy and friendly atmosphere, generated by the carers. The setting is great too, with wonderful outside spaces. We feel our daughter thrives there and know how much she enjoys the varied activities. She has built up great relationships with
her key carer and others too, and we feel that everyone has taken time to get to know her.

Our little boy loves going to Nursery Rhymes. He gets on well with all the staff and talks about them at home happily. They seem to do a brilliant variation of fun and learning activities and it's great that we can see all he gets up to on the parents portal and when they post pictures on Facebook.
It cheers up my working day to be able to see my little one happy. Thank you to all the staff.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.951)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.951) out of 10 for Nursery Rhymes Day Nursery 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 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 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 4.951 for Nursery Rhymes Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (195 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 204 Ratings = 4.951

  • 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 Day Nursery is based on 17 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 17 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.
