We love this nursery! When my son first started he had a hard time leaving me and was so very shy he would hide from everyone including family members. Since joining Rhymes, my son is now a cheeky little monkey (in the best kind of way) with a big personality and now runs to family members for hugs!
Before lockdown of course. He loves going to nursery and that was a big thing for me because I was so scared that every morning would be a battle. But it's not. He quite happily walks into the nursery to see his friends and he always comes out smiling. There is a great variety of different meals that I would never think to make at home, but he seems to really enjoy them! As well as the healthy snacks that are provided and it doesn't break the bank. He's learnt so many songs and stories and loves to share them with me. The staff are amazing with my son and the management are always so helpful, even when I feel like I've been a pain changing times; it's never been a problem for them.

All my children have attended Rhymes Nursery in Dudley. Caring and friendly staff, excellent knowledge and experience of children with special needs and children who generally just need a little more support. The staff haven't changed much at all over the years. Excellent communication and management.

My son went to the nursery from when he was 1 and a half up until he left to go into reception. They were great with him, they looked after him and cared for him like he was their own and we never had any problems with anything. My daughter now goes there and they treat her exactly the same as my son.
All the staff are very welcoming and the manager is also amazing; if you need anything you can give her a call for advice. I would highly recommend this nursery to my family and friends who have young children.

This nursery has been one of the best nurseries I’ve ever sent my daughter too! As a teacher, I knew I’d be very picky on where I sent my child and after looking at a few nurseries my heart was set on Rhymes Nursery! Honestly, they’re so supportive! In my eyes, they’re a nursery who listen to parents
and always puts the children first! Their rooms are always spotless and the children do so many fun activities. I love their themed display work and they celebrate lots of festivities! Tapestry is an app used by the nursery to share photos and videos of your child throughout the day and I absolutely love seeing all the milestone developments of my daughter! My daughter started in the baby room and now she’s in Little Humpty’s and her development has been amazing! She can count, knows her colours, sings, dances and is so creative! She’s even nearly potty trained and that’s because of the dedicated time and effort of every member of staff! It’s worth every penny!

Since starting the nursery, my son's confidence has increased remarkably. He is always happy when its nursery day and comes home full of excitement and plenty of things to talk about. Staff have been fantastic with him and have made the transition from home to nursery easy for the child and parent.
Daily updates on how my child's day has been is such a helpful thing too.

Our son has special needs and we had previously struggled to find childcare that could accommodate him. In contrast, Rhymes Nursery have been very flexible, which has greatly reassured us about his potential to benefit from the education system. Staff have made a clear effort to understand him and enhance
his learning, and his key worker obviously knows him well. As a result, he has progressed at the setting and is always happy to attend. We are very glad we found Rhymes Nursery and would recommend it to any parent, particularly those with children with additional needs.

Rhymes Nursery Dudley has cared for both of my children; my youngest is still currently there. I highly recommend this nursery. The staff are all friendly and caring. They really bring out the confidence in my children.
They helped my oldest prepare ready for school, and she is now doing really well.

Rhymes Nursery has been amazing for my daughter. I went to see lots of nurseries when I was looking for childcare, and Rhymes was by far the best I saw. The staff are amazing, so thoughtful and caring. They were so reassuring when I left my daughter for the first time. I felt the staff really cared
about my daughter and were interested in her development. We have had a great experience at Rhymes Nursery, and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

Rhymes have looked after my granddaughter with such care and attention; she is thriving in the environment. I encouraged my daughter to take her there as my own daughter attended Rhymes some years ago. Amazing staff and a stimulating environment. Cannot recommend the nursery enough. They cared for my
disabled daughter and encouraged her to be her best, and they all still care greatly for her now.

I have nothing but positive things to say about my son's time so far at Rhymes Nursery. All the staff are kind, polite and friendly and the facilities at the nursery are well maintained. Communication between myself and the workers in his room is continuous and they really make you feel comfortable
knowing you are leaving your child in their care. I have found that my son has developed so well being a part of Rhymes, his social skills are always improving along with his speech and his eating abilities. They are a wonderful team and I would (and do) highly recommend them to anyone looking for childcare in the area.

Although my son has only been with Rhymes a short time, I have been blown away by how much he has come on with his development. All the staff have a warm welcome for us when we arrive in the mornings and are happy to spend a moment talking to us as we go to our room. All the children, including my son,
seem comfortable and safe with the staff. He is always happy at home time. I feel confident in my decision to choose Rhymes as our childcare.

All three of my children have attended Little Rhymes Nursery Dudley run by Rhymes themselves and moved up to this main nursery. Brilliant nursery and I don't have a bad word to say about it. My one child, who was struggling development wise, attended 5 days a week and came on leaps and bounds. They
also prepared my other child for moving up to school which I'm very grateful for. The staff are lovely and spend so much time with the children teaching them something new every day. Highly reccomended nursery.

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.
