Rocking horse is an amazing nursery and Lynda and Paul are wonderful. my son was a preemie and still very small when I went back to work full time and I was worried about him going to a nursery, then I found Lynda and Paul and my son has been absolutely thriving since he started almost a year ago. They really do provide a home from home setting but with lots of days out and adventures for the children. I cannot recommend them enough!!
Overall
Rocking Horse are a fantastic childminding team, both of my girls love going there, they offer a wide range of games and toys and have helped my youngest learn so much ready for starting nursery. All meals are homemade and fresh. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for childcare in the area.
