Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This is now the second year that my daughter has attended New Beginnings Rainham Nursery and I can confidently say that the experience has been exceptional. As a parent, my daughter means absolutely everything to me and I cannot imagine placing my trust in any other nursery or team of staff the way
I trust those at New Beginnings.


The wonderful team, led by Lisa, truly feels like a second family. Their kindness, professionalism, and genuine care for the children are evident in everything they do. My daughter absolutely loves coming in every day and it brings me so much joy to see how happy, confident, and excited she is to learn.


She has grown so much since joining the nursery - socially, emotionally and academically. Every day she comes home having learned something new and I am consistently impressed by the thoughtful activities, structured learning and nurturing environment the team provides.


I am incredibly grateful to everyone at New Beginnings Rainham Nursery.

My daughter absolutely loves it here. The staff give such a personal, family-like feeling that instantly puts both my child and me at ease when I'm at work. They genuinely care, take time to know each child, and create a nurturing environment every day. The nursery is also incredibly clean and well-maintained,
which gives me great peace of mind. We couldn't be happier and highly recommend it to any parent looking for a caring, welcoming, and well-run nursery.

Both my daughters have attended New beginnings and both enjoyed their time there. The staff are all so friendly and helpful and do an excellent job. My daughter has a great bond with her key worker Megan and even calls her her best friend, so I know she is very well taken care of and has come on leaps
and bounds since attending. Excellent nursery and pre school, I wouldn't choose anywhere else.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The most amazing Nursery!
My son has been attending since 6 months old and is thriving and hitting milestones on or ahead of time.


The nursery is a family and not a revolving door of new faces. Turnover is low and they are unique in ensuring consistency for the children by balancing the staff across

their sites instead of relying on temporary or agency hires.


My son skips in and would stay longer if he could.


Any concern is managed promptly and with professionalism and iits so rare that I feel a massive comfort that my sons needs are met and exceeded.


Management are visible and personable, I just don't think you'd get this with thr bigger chains.


100% recommend and not 1 negative comment in the 2 years we've been a part of the setting.

My son has been at New Beginnings, Rainham for 1 year and I am very impressed with it. The team are great, very approachable and open and my son is fond of them all. He often comes home and demonstrates a new skill or sings me a song that he has learnt at nursery. The key worker set up is great and
I am confident that my sons key worker knows him very well and has worked to build a bond with him, she is also great at communicating with me regarding any issues and always brings him down at pick up time.
The manager always greets the parents and is extremely helpful and efficient.
I highly recommend New Beginnings Rainham, you won't be disappointed. :)

This is our daughter's 3rd year at New Beginnings in Rainham and we are extremely happy.
The staff are amazing and genuinely cares for the wellbeing and development of children.
They do so many fantastic activities to help children develop both practically and emotionally.
And the past few months
they've helped massively with potty training.
The comments and tips we get at parents meetings are very useful for us as first-time parents.
Highly recommended!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son is 19 months and has been attending New Beginnings Rainham since last summer. I was anxious at the beginning as he wasn’t used to being with other people and he also has a few allergies. From day 1 until now, he has never cried to go into the nursery, he feels completely comfortable and he looks
forward to going in with a smile every day. He absolutely loves it! The staff are amazing, safeguarding is key to them which was important to me, the provision inside is fantastic, the menu for the children is nutritious, they are thoughtful and I love that it’s a small nursery so it feels like a home away from home for the children. The staff communicate really effectively and they have really taken time and care to understand my child and his needs. Amazing nursery - would definitely recommend!

My four year old daughter has been attending New Beginnings in Rainham since she was 11months old. In that time she has learned so much and become a very independent little girl.
The nursery manager is very attentive with parents and children alike. She always has a smile when she opens the door and
keeps a close eye on the children’s well-being.
Also a special thanks to one of the nursery teachers who stands out in kindness and care for the children.
My daughter is very happy to go to this nursery and is always full of excitement to tell me about her daily activities and the things she has learned.

Amazing childcare provider. My daughter is always happy to attend and has many friends here. My child's development in social and academic skills is above average and always picked up on by members of family and friends. The staff are helpful and friendly. We will be sad to say goodbye when she starts

My daughter has been going to New Beginnings since she was 6 months old. She is now 19 months old and loves her day at the nursery. Every morning she looks forward to going in. As a parent, this is a huge relief, knowing that she is well looked after and having a great time. We are very pleased with
her development of motor skills and communication thanks to all the efforts put in by the staff.
We love that we get regular updates on the app and can see what activities she has been up to. The food diary is also very helpful!
I would highly recommend the nursery to any parent looking for childcare.
A big thank you to all the staff for always having a big smile on their faces and working so hard to keep these little people happy and safe.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.779)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.779) out of 10 for New Beginnings Day Nursery Rainham is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 8 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.979 for New Beginnings Day Nursery Rainham is calculated as follows: ( (94 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 96 Ratings = 4.979
  2. 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 4.8 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for New Beginnings Day Nursery Rainham is based on 8 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 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 = 3.8
    2. 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 29 number of registered child places is 5.8, which has been reached with 8 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
