September 20, 2024 at 6:53 amMy son loves it he is consistently so excited. Was so patient with him the first few weeks when he was settling in. He has come on so much since starting the childcare centre. All the team seem lovely and so attentive.

September 29, 2024 at 4:43 amMy youngest daughter (aged 16 months) currently attends at present (1.5 days per week) and absolutely loves her time at childcare centre. Team are so welcoming/welcoming both on drop off and pick up, and I am confident that she is very well looked after.
Daily diaries are published promptly, along with regular key observations to give us an insight into how she is developing. It’s also great to see the menu of the day displayed outside and to read the childcare centre newsletter to keep up to date with what events/activities are coming up.
I would suggest The Discovering Hive to friends and family looking for a local childcare centre. Both my kids have attended The Discovering Hive in the past five years.

October 7, 2024 at 5:50 pmThe team are very welcoming, approachable and accommodating, especially for working parents. I am glad I chose this childcare centre for my kids and would suggest it to other parents. My son and daughter have both attended Rocking Horse Childcare centre & Pre-school and I have been very cheerful with the care my kids have received.

Excellent diversity of meals provided as well. Will soon sign up my youngest to this childcare centre. My kid has attended for over two years now.

October 31, 2024 at 7:57 pmMy little girl consistently comes home cheerful and talks about her friends and favourite team members. I get excellent observations and information on what she has been doing each day. Also, all meals are healthy, and she loves them. When I drop her off in the morning, team or management consistently greet her with a big smile and say great morning, making her sense welcome. She has consistently gone to them straight away, never wanting to come back to me, which is excellent and reassures me she enjoys childcare centre. My kid has been coming to the childcare centre from 9-months-old, is currently in preschool and is due to leave in September.

December 8, 2024 at 11:57 pmI am currently sending my third kid there and my two older kids had a excellent time there with fond memories. They had a excellent connection with the carers. we regularly get updated reports on a daily basis on what’s happening with pictures of daily activities. couldn’t suggest them more! This childcare centre has never fallen short of my expectations.

January 16, 2025 at 4:07 pmBoth our kids are very cheerful coming into childcare centre every day! They adore all of the lovely attentive team that look after them and are consistently cheerful to see them in the morning. Our oldest kid tells us about all of the things she has learned at childcare centre each day and talks about the enjoyable activities she has taken part in. We couldn’t be happier with the care and teaching our kids to receive and the setting they are able to grow and learn in. We will be sad when our oldest leaves and goes to school in September as she has formed relationships with so many people here! We have 2 kids who attend the childcare centre (one preschool and one in the baby room).

February 15, 2025 at 5:10 pmHe loves every one of the team members and his discovering, speech and self‑assurance has really improved over the last 12 months. My kid has been with the childcare centre since 9 months old and the care and adore he has been shown is incredible. He will really miss his friends and educators.
Thank you so much! Really saddened to be taking our kid out of the childcare centre.

February 24, 2025 at 8:48 pmThe team are very welcoming approachable expert and very motivated. There was not a time that I felt I didn’t know what was happening when my kid was in the childcare centre and any updates on services are consistently communicated in a timely manner. My son has developed into such an independent boy for his age and I loved the fact that whatever we were working on at home once communicated to the childcare centre team they supported the action and rewarded my son with encouragement. Very lovely childcare centre first class all the way. Rocking Horse Childcare centre is not just a childcare centre but it has been such an exceptional place for my son to thrive in.

March 30, 2025 at 11:57 amMy twins are the last ones to attend and will be leaving for school this summer. I can honestly say, I never wanted to choose a different childcare centre. I’ve consistently been at ease, and they have consistently been cheerful and comfortable here. The team are like their family. Discovering and development is a key part of each day and my sons both left well prepared for their reception class. It’s a huge decision leaving your kids in the care of others and I would highly suggest this childcare centre. The updates and updates via the app are consistently excellent. I will miss the updates when they go to school and their last day here will sure be a sad one. My four kids have been attending Rocking Horse Childcare centre & Pre-school over the past five years.

April 14, 2025 at 9:24 pmWe picked Rocking Horse for its location and upon viewing, we were charmed by the atmosphere and team.
We’re very convinced it’s the right place for her to be. My daughter attends three times a week since Sept and really loves it.

April 26, 2025 at 7:16 amThe team are attentive and attentive and nothing is too much trouble. The calm, nurturing and educational atmosphere is the perfect mix. She has really improved in her development since starting childcare centre in August. The activities, equipment and team knowledge are perfectly pitched to assistance her development mentally, physically, and socially. Huge thank you to all the team for their dedication and hard work. Thank you My daughter loves every second at The Discovering Hive Childcare centre School.

April 29, 2025 at 12:29 pmWhen we found this childcare centre, we were amazed at how much better this one was and honestly, if I could give it more stars I would! The team are so lovely and so great with the kids. The childcare centre is lovely inside and set up so well. My firstborn had been to a childcare centre before we moved into Droylsden 2/3 years ago.

May 14, 2025 at 8:03 amMy son now is excited and looks forward to going to The Discovering Hive daily and I sense so cheerful to leave him there rather than worrying about him. He consistently comes out so cheerful having done so many activities. The team take time to learn and engage with the kids. I would happily suggest them to any of my family and friends. The team at The Discovering Hive Childcare centre School have been absolutely incredible, my son really struggled with separation anxiety and the transition he has made with the help and understanding of all the team I cannot praise enough.
Lennon Drake
May 15, 2025 at 8:13 pmHalf the time he doesn’t want to leave the childcare centre and come home because he’s having so much enjoyable. He’s consistently talking about his friends and educators and this just shows how much he likes it. My son has been coming to Rocking Horse Childcare centre & Pre-school since he was 8 months old, he’s now nearly 3.

May 19, 2025 at 5:46 amHe settled in almost immediately and we credit the team massively for this. His development has gone from strength to strength while attending the childcare centre. There is consistently plenty of activities for our son to be involved in and it is excellent to see what he has done in the day on the app. The team are attentive and attentive and the facilities are excellent. The meal options are consistently well balanced too. Our son has attended the childcare centre for just over six months.

May 22, 2025 at 9:17 amOur daughter is consistently so cheerful to go in and has a spring in her step when we leave her at the door. Her happiness is all that is important to us, so as long as she is enjoying it, then I am satisfied she is getting the care and education she needs whilst playing with her playmates.
From a parent’s perspective and being able to compare this journey with another childcare centre that my son went to, I sense very disconnected from the childcare centre.
It’s lovely to talk at the door, albeit that be for a couple of minutes, but if there is a queue of parents, then there is no time for feedback of the day.
I sense that there is no connection between us as parents and the childcare centre. I dont have any familiarity with her teacher or educators, but everyone seems lovely, and I am sure all do a excellent job.
Yes, there is the log, but that’s a computer; it’s not a human being having a conversation. Just my thoughts on my journey with another childcare centre. I am satisfied with the care given to my kid from the childcare centre.

May 27, 2025 at 10:40 amFrom the top down, I have consistently been impressed by their professionalism and their attentive nature to the kids. The food they serve is interesting, nutritious and varied and the place is consistently spotless. My kids come home cheerful and tired every day, which is exactly what I like to see. The list goes on. I honestly cannot find any way to criticise the childcare centre as they seem to excel in every area. It will be a sad day that dawns when I no longer drop my kids off there because I’ve enjoyed every minute of using their services. Cannot suggest it highly enough. Rocking Horse Childcare centre is absolutely remarkable.

June 28, 2025 at 9:53 pmEach team member knows him personally which is a nice quality. I sense that all of the team take an active interest in my kid and not just his key worker. I am confident leaving him at the childcare centre when I am at work as I know that he is in secure hands. The team are very expert and skilled.
My kid is very cheerful at the childcare centre.
