Been bringing my son here since he was a baby, a fantastic place to be, management and key workers are spot on, nothing is to much trouble. Since my son has joined nursery his development has been excellent! Would recommend to anyone!

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.

So lovely and beautiful staff and more amazing manager here. My son just started nursery and all the staff were so much help for us to settle, it's an amazing team and all environment. My son enjoys being in this nursery, he wants to tell everyone. A big thank you to all the staff and the special manager

Highly recommend 1000000%.

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.

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).

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.

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!

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.

I can not speak highly enough of Rocking Horse Nursery and the staff in the Baby room/tiny tots.
Our little girl attended a childminder previous to this but due to unforeseen circumstances we had to find alternative childcare and I am so glad we found this nursery. She is very happy there, has settled
in well and all staff are so positive and welcoming. It has only been 1 month since she started and already I am out at ease that this is the perfect place for her.

My son was at a different nursery since he was 9 months old, and anytime I had a concern, it was met with 'we aren't concerned, all kids develop at different rates', but I knew he had a speech delay. Once he turned 3, the setting SENCO set targets that he was meeting, only for me told by the manager
to find a different setting. It was a blessing in disguise to have to find another nursery.


Rockinghorse Kindergarten have gone above and beyond caring for my son. Every single staff member has a caring and professional nature. The setting SENCO has made sure everything is in place for my son to succeed and I have already noticed a huge increase in his vocabulary since joining. He is met every morning with so much love and affection, which is such a reassuring feeling.


I would recommend this nursery to anyone. Everything that they do has the children's wellbeing at the forefront.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.750)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.750) out of 10 for Rocking Horse Kindergarten - Coventry is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 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 4.750 for Rocking Horse Kindergarten - Coventry is calculated as follows: ( (180 Excellents x 5) + (12 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 192 Ratings = 4.75

  • 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 Rocking Horse Kindergarten - Coventry is based on 15 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 65 number of registered child places is 13, which has been reached with 15 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.
