September 11, 2024 at 3:46 pmAll the team attention caring and thoughtful. My boy started in early‑years hub in September. I am extremely pleased I chose this nursery setting. I could not be happier with how things are going. My young lad is exceptionally content and thrilled when i leave him. He has some medical conditions and the personnel are truly accommodating and accommodating with getting things right.

September 19, 2024 at 2:28 pmThe new setting is remarkable, spacious, well equipped rooms filled with toys and allowing plenty of space for activity. The nursery setting are open to feedback and work to act upon it, making continuous improvements. We cannot endorse Rocking Horse wholeheartedly enough. Our girl thoroughly enjoys her time and is always excited upon arrival and excited to chatter about her day upon collection. The nursery setting team are kind, knowledgeable and accommodating which when balancing a toddler, full time work and a new baby has been invaluable. The library, gardens and sensory room only add to it further!

October 18, 2024 at 11:50 pmThey have a good leadership team and we can see the value and ethos are trickled through the teams. Our kids have been going to Rocking Horse Nursery since they were ten months old. I cannot endorse this childcare centre enough. They know how to keep little ones enthusiastic about real-time events – Olympics, Sir Tom, Prince Philip’s passing, and so on. Each team member is approachable. They celebrate all festivals which is so important in today’s inclusive world. Whenever we went through turbulent times like having our second little one and covid they have always handled these changes delicately. One word to describe how we feel about the early‑years hub is “trust”.

October 29, 2024 at 8:51 amFacilities are fantastic, my young lad never has a boring day it’s always full of fun and has made some lovely friends. Overall, we are all extremely pleased and would advocate Rocking Horse Nursery. In the 3.5 years my little one has been at Rocking Horse Nursery, we’ve been extremely delighted from day one. The personnel are kind and truly welcoming as soon as you step inside, my little one has been fond of and often talks about how nice the crew are.

December 28, 2024 at 1:59 amMy son was highly cheerful there and was consistently comfortable with the childcare centre settings. I would gladly suggest this childcare centre to anybody. My son has started primary school as a cheerful, confident kid who can make friends easily of which I am confident this was due to the care and guidance of this childcare centre. Team are great at what they do and are informative of any situation, including illnesses and problems at all times.

January 2, 2025 at 7:33 pmAnything that has concerned us at home they have worked with our boy to improve in just the right way, we feel they’re part of our team. They have worked so hard to make it a warm, secure, caring and developing setting for the kids. We really rate Rocking Horse. Our first young lad has been there for 2 years. Whenever anything hasn’t been right they have gone the extra mile to improve processes, involving us finding the best solution.

January 10, 2025 at 3:08 pmNice, modern facility with truly caring crew. Excellent food with a good variety of fruit, veg and pulses. The early‑years hub did not assistance a stimulating exploring setting. Approachable team with a ‘meeting the child’s needs’ policy. Children were well behaved and have access to an outdoor area and activities. It did, however, focus on absorbing through child-initiated activities activities.

January 30, 2025 at 1:41 amThey have also been superb during Covid. The standard of attention has been exceptional and all of the crew are extremely professional but also there is a personal touch. We cannot endorse this early‑years hub enough and are exceptionally downhearted to be leaving. We have seen our girl develop so much in her time here and we truly have the early‑years hub to thank for this, all crew have helped lay the foundations of her progress. The management is superb and they communicate extremely clearly with parents each week. We have been extremely thrilled with The Rocking Horse since the moment our girl started over 2 years ago. Each room has been excellent and we have always been downhearted to see our young lady move rooms.

February 21, 2025 at 12:13 amMy little one has food allergies and no extra provision/different food types are ever created/cooked to accommodate this, especially for puddings/treats despite asking several times. They are always open and attentive when I ask questions or have any queries about my daughter’s improvement or day to day activities. The nursery setting has excellent personnel in my daughter’s room they show genuine interest in my child’s wellbeing and growth. The nursery setting has helped my young lady so much, especially in the prior six months with developing her confidence, numeric and special language competences and overall exploring. My only real criticism is food and activity-related. visits to care homes. More outdoor events and outside of childcare centre activities would have been beneficial eg.

March 2, 2025 at 6:18 pmThe activities are always exceptionally educational and the space is bright and immaculate. They have been particularly accommodating in helping us navigate my youngest son’s intolerances and my eldest progress ‘leaps’. They clearly are strongly qualified in early years education. We have been exceptionally impressed with Rocking Horse Nursery and we feel extremely much part of a family with everyone knowing you and your children’s names regardless of which room they are in. The team are cheerful, caring, professional and articulate.

March 21, 2025 at 8:15 pmWe always felt so secure handing her over every morning and she was always so pleased and excited to go there. Rocking Horse is an utterly fantastic childcare centre! Her growth was always discussed regularly and any developments shared from home were taken seriously and aided in the childcare centre. We will happily advocate Rocking Horse Nursery to any new parent! We had ours in for 11 months and we so wished we could have kept her there for the full 5 years but we were moving house. The ladies here have been so fantastic with her and truly developed a truly special bond.

April 22, 2025 at 8:08 amFirstly, the childcare centre itself is a new building with great premises. It has been my privilege to meet, get to know and work with these ladies. All of the personnel not only make the youngsters comfortable and welcome but also their families. There are not enough words to describe the personnel, they are beyond remarkable. I am truly grateful to the crew. I would not have found this out without the staffs help. It’s brightly decorated and the children’s work and photos displayed proudly on the walls. My girl is now a self‑assured, clever, funny and exceptionally cheeky little miss. All of the crew are genuinely beautiful, caring and wonderful people. A sensory room, great outside spaces, library and kitchen for the youngsters to use. Where do I start with this fabulous childcare centre? When my girl started she had delayed speech due to a hearing problem.

May 8, 2025 at 12:12 amTheir individual needs (one year old and three years old) have been expertly catered for and the beautifully smiley and caring faces of the team have been such a conform to us all. All of the personnel and I mean all have been so kind, caring and hands-on in helping my two boys settle into Rocking Horse Nursery. We moved house in April and that transition has been pretty smooth which I put largely down to the huge amount of fun they have at Rocking Horse. Thank you!

May 19, 2025 at 6:45 amMy boy has some difficulties with his fine motor abilities, which room personnel observed and talked to me about. My young lad started the Rocking Horse in July 2017, transferring from another local childcare centre. I was immediately impressed with the child-focused nature of the childcare centre, it’s facilities and the management and crew who made sure my son’s transition was a success. The crew, sites and correspondence at the early‑years hub are excellent. Since then they have gone out of their way to support my little one and me.

May 23, 2025 at 2:17 amFrom covid days through to preschool the nursery setting has exceptionally cordial and competent team. My little one has English as a second language and this is where she developed her language skills. My young lady joined early‑years hub for two years, and here she grew up. They communicated exceptionally well with parents and had superb management of the covid situation. I couldn’t be happier and I would choose the same early‑years hub again and again.
Ulrich Fletcher
May 29, 2025 at 8:11 pmThe team are cheerful, caring, professional and wholeheartedly qualified. I enthusiastically endorse this early‑years hub. Each morning at 8 am they greet the little ones in. Trust is extremely important. The sites, cleanliness and discovering outcomes are extremely well planned. The food is delicious and fresh. He is enjoying his new room with key person to help him thrive in his early discovering years. It is exceptionally reassuring to know our “little bubba” was looked after so well and the settling stages are truly supportive as a first-time mum. He is nearly 2. We are extremely grateful to have this nursery setting on our doorstep. My boy started early‑years hub at 7 months.

June 4, 2025 at 8:53 pmThey do lots of activities with the little ones and take them to see the horses when the races are on, dress up for charity donations. Each week, they will send us an email for activities they plan to take action for next week, also the reason behind these activities. My little one started to go to this childcare centre since 9 months old. All the team seem to know her, greeting her, calling her name. She absolutely treasures her time there. They encourage our little one to explore, develop and have fun. Halloween, art crafts etc. They do as much as they can to support parents The nursery setting is brand new, new toys, new facilities etc.. We wholeheartedly suggest this childcare centre. Food is fab, even make us jealous. Each day, her carer will write down in detail with what she had for breakfast, lunch, snack, teas.. What she enjoyed playing with, what time she slept etc.

June 18, 2025 at 6:40 amThe nursery setting manager enthusiastically greets parents each day. Love the early‑years hub. The nursery setting is purpose-built and modern, so meets the needs of the youngsters well. We are grateful to have such high quality childcare on our doorstep. It’s a hygienic and safe childcare centre. Our two boys join and have been delighted and thriving for the previous year. There has been some crew turnover, but given the national challenges facing childcare providers I would say there has been a exceptionally stable set of faces (which is a real testament to the early‑years hub). There are fun activities planned for the little ones, lots of artwork produced, toys to games with and plenty of outdoors time.
Ulrich Turner
June 24, 2025 at 7:58 pmHe enjoys having access to a big garden where they have a huge range of activities for all the little ones to do. They have all helped him a lot with his updates with other peers and he has come out of himself a lot before he started he wouldn’t talk to any little ones his age and now he talks to everyone. I would 100% advocate this childcare centre and when my little girl is ready for nursery setting this will be the only one I consider her going to. My boy has been coming to this nursery setting for the past year, we both absolutely treasure it, it’s the best nursery setting he could have gone to. The team are all extremely cordial and take time out of their day to talk to all parents about how the kid is doing and what that little one has done in the day.
