A Second Home Filled with Love and Happiness

5 stars

My younger son joined Rhymes at age 1 and spent three wonderful years there. From his very first day, he was always happy and excited to go—he genuinely loved it.

What makes Rhymes unique is the consistency and care. Unlike many nurseries with frequent staff changes, Rhymes has the same loving team caring for the children year after year. They know each child so well, and it truly shows in how happy and settled the kids are.

Our son thrived in this nurturing environment, as did many others. The childminders understand each child’s development, something even Ofsted inspectors have consistently praised over the years.

At Rhymes, children don’t just learn numbers and letters but they grow socially and emotionally, becoming kind, confident, polite, and independent.

The fees are also very reasonable, especially considering the level of care provided, which far exceeds what we experienced at local nurseries.

If I could turn back time, I’d have sent my older child to Rhymes too. It’s not about fancy interiors, big gardens, lunch menus, or the latest development programmes that nurseries often use to attract parents—it’s about love, consistency, and genuine connection. We felt that every single day through our son’s happy face.

We highly recommend Rhymes to any family looking for a truly special childcare experience.

We could not have asked for a better experience!

5 stars

Our daughter went to Rhymes Childcare the past 2 years and it's been the perfect environment for children to thrive and getting prepared for school. Our daughters speech, social skills and independence development improved massively over this time. The team is very caring, kind and professional. We've been kept updated with lovely pictures as well as daily summaries of meals, sleep times and anything special that happened during the day.
I've always felt our daughter was extremely safe and well taken care of - can recommend 100%!

Cannot recommend Rhymes childcare enough. Since our 1+ yr old son started there, his development has grown from strength to strength with the playtime and various activities that Mona and Nina set out. Rhymes also accommodates his food allergies and ensure he's kept safe at all times. The facilities are clean and well kept with loads of space for kids fun. Nina and Mona have been incredible throughout the lockdown period and we wanted to say a special thank you to them, our son absolutely loves it there!

Excellent childcare

5 stars

We used Rhymes childcare for our son when he was 2-3 years old. It was a great setting for children with large toys in the back garden. He enjoyed his time there and engaged in many activities with the other children. I found Rhymes to be very professional and accommodating.

Excellent Childminder

5 stars

My daughter has been going to Rhymes for 2 and a half years from the age of 10 months and I can thoroughly recommend it. The set up is like a small day nursery and the kids there all seem very happy. My daughter has really flourished there, has made lots of friends and loves going. Nina and Mona are friendly and really connect with all the children and they are like my daughters second family! They do lots of activities you wouldn't do at home. They have a great outdoor area with loads of toys for the children to play with and take them out occasionally as well. My son is about to start when I go back to work in April and I have no doubt he will be very happy and enjoy it too. They give me complete peace of mind. Highly recommended!
