I currently have my youngest daughter at Rhymes and my eldest daughter attended here for 2 years, only leaving in September 2018. I can't recommend Rhymes highly enough. The manager and the deputy go above and beyond to accommodate your needs and all the staff are fab with the kids. They have provided
a safe and naturing environment for my children to grow and thrive in. My youngest absolutely loves getting up in the morning to go to Nursery and always comes home really excited to tell me about all the fun activities she's done and the fab time she's had playing with her friends and the staff there. I hand on heart cannot speak highly enough about it. They genuinely care about my kids and it really shows that they love the job they do.

I cannot rate Rhymes highly enough. The staff are friendly and knowledgable. I truly feel the staff in charge of my children’s care, cherish them as much as I do. They know their personalities and traits and tailor the activities to meet their needs and interests. They really get to know the child in
order to provide them with a caring and stimulating experience. My pre-school child particularly enjoys the nursery Garden Club. The management are approachable and incredibly flexible.

Rhymes nursery is amazing. The staff are friendly and approachable and always have an avid interest in the care of my child. Communication at the end of the day is relevant and often times comical. My child enjoys all of the activities offered and most importantly she is allowed to be herself. The values
upheld by the nursery are fantastic and the honesty care for my child and seem to really enjoy their jobs.
My child is offered a range of nutritional food throughout the day and it doesn’t cost a fortune. The outdoor space is tidy and well cared for and changes often, so my child can access a range of activities throughout even the winter months.

Fabulous nursery, all staff are so helpful, would definitely recommend to other mums and dads to send their children here, the nursery is always clean, always seeing children with smiles on there face and enjoying there time. My son was very unsettled to start with but a huge thank you to all the staff
in preschool as they have made him feel welcome and he loves going to nursery now so thank you. The management team are always willing to help with any enquiries and are so friendly.

My daughter loves spending time at nursery playing with the other children. She has made happy and secure relationships with all the staff that have cared for her since starting at 9 months old and is now 2 and a half years old. She loves to talk about the new things she has done and learnt each day.
She has come on lots since attending this nursery and every one is always happy to help, supportive and friendly.

Rhymes is an excellent nursery catering for the needs of children up to school age.
My grandson has been attending since he was 2 and although slow to settle he is now confident and happy to attend each morning. The staff appear to know all the children by name and are very caring. They are extremely
approachable, friendly and always listen if there is a problem.
My grandson has made lots of friends and likes talking about the activities he has done. His learning has gradually increased and I am confident that although he will be very young when he starts school, that Rhymes are preparing him well. In the preschool room, children are encouraged to develop their independence, learn nursery rhymes, the days of the week and the months and learn to recite and recognise numbers as well as beginning to learn phonics.
Observations are meaningful and are sent regularly. There are parent consultations each term with the child’s strengths highlighted and next steps in their learning

Since my twins have been coming to the nursery they have come on leaps and bounds they are talking better and I can understand what they are saying they love all the class assistants. They have learned to sing nursery rhymes, numbers and to play with other children it is always clean they also help
with potty training. My twins have also learned to take turns in playing with things they now play together as brother and sister.

I had to go back to work when my son was 3 months old. I considered various options as he was so tiny. But after all my research and discussions I turned to the team that helped look after my eldest. In retrospect, the only team I would have trusted to leave my baby with was Rhymes. And it proved to
be a great decision even 3 years later. They are flexible and very accommodating. Happy to adjust the nursery routines to accommodate a baby's requirements. I recommend them strongly to every parent.

My son has been attending Rhymes for nearly 18 months and absolutely loves going to nursery. They have always been flexible whenever I’ve needed to extend his hours or add an extra day at short notice. The staff are all wonderful, my son is a very confident, chatty little boy which I know has a lot
to do with going to nursery,he has made some great friendships with the other children

Rhymes Nursery has been invaluable to my son's progress and assistance. They've really helped him come into his own. All the staff are extremely dedicated and uniquely qualified to both understand and adapt to the needs of all charges in their care. I can't thank them enough for all they've done for
my son during his time there.

All 3 of my children have attended Rhymes Nursery over a ten year period. From day one stepping into the nursery it was warm and welcoming, along with very pleasant staff and management, it felt home from home and a safe environment for my children to grow and learn without me worrying whilst going
back to work. The daycare from staff was outstanding, and I could see my children enjoyed every minute of being at rhymes nursery. Some days it was hard to get them to put their coats on to go home as they loved the staff, and the environment they were learning in. Each one of my children that left Rhymes Nursery had the ability to be confident in themselves, was able to play with others, learnt to share and so much more. They were all super confident on the first day of school. Thank you Rhymes Nursery for helping my children grow and learn to what they have become today. Also a huge thank you to staff and professional management. Kind regards parent.

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.
