All 4 of my children have attended Rhymes Nursery. My 2 eldest are now 13 and 14. My son is almost 10. And my youngest who is now in the toddler room will be 3 in September. Through all the years spent at Rhymes, I can not fault it. The staff are absolutely brilliant and are always coming up with new
ways for the kids to learn and play. The communication is great especially the app that allows you you keep track of things your child is doing and eating. As well as pictures. I always highly recommend Rhymes.

Great staff - my kids adore them! Fantastic fun activities and theme days based on books etc. They have life learning, like visits from emergency services, off-site trips like to the park, on the bus and to the library. My boys have been here from baby room through the preschool and always come home
full of their stories of another great day at nursery!

This nursery is absolutely fantastic, words cannot do that justice. They will make as much time for you and your child that is needed. I would not go to any other nursery to provide care for my child!

We're thrilled with our experience at Rhymes Nursery! The caring staff, nurturing environment, and thoughtfully planned activities have made a huge positive impact on our daughter. All my children have attended the Nursery for over a decade. I have not had any issues with the nursery as the teachers
there are kind even to parents. They take time to have a 1-2-1 conversation with parents even at drop off and pick up, which I think is excellent. They are truly genuine people. The excellent communication and individual attention given to my daughter gave me confidence that she was in the best hands. I highly recommend Rhymes Nursery for its supportive and enriching atmosphere.

Both my son and daughter attended this nursery and I can not fault it at all.
All the staff are amazing, friendly and approachable. They always treated my children with such care, compassion and equality.
I would not hesitate to use this nursery again in the future (if I were brave enough to have
another child lol) and I will and always do recommend them to anyone looking for a nursery.

Both of my girls attend the nursery and both absolutely love it! The staff work so well with them, supporting my youngest through being away from me and my eldest with her potty training. I do not have a single bad word to say about the nursery, they're always so welcoming and work hard to accommodate
each individual parent/child's needs.

My daughter moved to the nursery in April 2024 and I couldn't have been happier with how my enquiry was dealt with. The manager was very approachable and helpful, she responded quickly and was very welcoming to show me around the nursery at a time convenient for me.
When my daughter started she quickly
gained her confidence and is still happy going every day I couldn't be more happy with how the nursery is with her and has helped her grow. Would definitely recommend it. Thank you all.

Our experience with the nursery is brilliant, the staff are so friendly towards us as parents and towards our child. It's a pleasant atmosphere, my child always goes in smiling and comes out smiling. They always let us know what our child has done throughout the day. Always answer any questions or enquiries
we have.

We are very happy with the services we received at Rhymes Nursery, all the staff and friendly and happy to help with any issues. The term time-only option makes it affordable and easy for our family and the flexibility with hours. Our son is always happy to attend nursery and loves the staff who takes
the time to know his needs and support his development.

My daughter found settling into the nursery very difficult. The staff were so lovely, kind and understanding. I would ring in to check if she is okay multiple times and they would be very nice about it and go and check on her for me. She has settled in lovely now and absolutely loves going to nursery.
Everyone
is always so welcoming.

My son is currently at Rhymes, he started very shy and scared and would cry every day. The staff reassured me constantly nothing is too much for them, allow me to call or text to check as many times as needed. My little boy walks in happily & says 'bye mommy' now he has come on leaps and bounds.

I absolutely love this nursery. I've just enrolled my second daughter there after such a positive experience with my first daughter.
Staff are always super friendly and in the space of a month, I can see how much my child has come on with her development.
It's apparent the staff love their jobs as
it reflects in the general happiness of the kids and how quickly they learn.
Can't fault at all!!

My son loves it here. He comes in school holidays. The staff are all friendly. My son usually hates being left with people and can be a bit of a couch potato but loves to come and play with other children. There's been weekly outings this school holidays and he has loved them.

So my little boy started in January and was extremely quiet and shy, but now with thanks to the time, support, effort and care that all the staff have put into him he is leaving a confident little lad who now talks to anyone. Can not recommend the nursery enough and never had any worries or concerns
about leaving him.

Nurseries are a place of uncertainty for any parent when they are first looking to put their child in care. We agonised about where was best to send our children and I am so glad we found Rhymes!
The biggest asset that Rhymes has is not outdoor space or pretty rooms, it is by far the staff. Every single
one of them is kind and caring and the smiles on my children’s faces when they go to nursery tell us that that are happy, excited and well cared for.
One staff member in particular is the best nursery nurse I’ve met and I’m so thankful to you for your patience and reassurance over our time with you. There is strong leadership; the manager is approachable and I know if I have any worries or concerns she will always sort it out for me.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for restoring my faith in nurseries and making both my children (one with special educational needs) feel safe and secure when in your care. I can’t recommend you enough!

My son has been with Rhymes since starting time for 'twos' and is now due to leave to start reception in September. My experience with this nursery has been nothing but positive from the outcome. My son was quite difficult in the beginning and didn’t like me leaving. Staff were always very understanding
and took their time to work out a way which worked for my son and me to make the handover easier on all of us. He now runs in to look for his friends and always has a good day. He will come back telling me what he has learnt that day or singing a new song. He absolutely loves the nursery and we will both be sad to not attend anymore. The staff are always welcoming and understanding and have done an amazing job with us.
Thank you

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.912)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.912) out of 10 for Rhymes Nursery Dudley is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 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 4.912 for Rhymes Nursery Dudley is calculated as follows: ( (264 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 284 Ratings = 4.912

  • 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 Rhymes Nursery Dudley is based on 24 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 60 number of registered child places is 12, which has been reached with 24 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.
