Review from Christopher B (Father of Child) published on 10 March 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

This nursery is amazing, and I'm so happy we were able to secure a spot here. My daughter has developed so much from attending only two days a week here. It's abundantly clear this isn't a place where they just care for your kids, but instead it's a place where they also actively encourage the development and wellbeing of your child. The nursery actively takes your feedback and actions and reports back to you any issues.

The staff are caring and extremely quick to respond to emails.

I can't recommend this Nursery enough.

Review from Sarah S (Mother of Child) published on 10 March 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

All three of my children have attended Rainbow Corner and I am so glad that they all had the opportunity to attend a setting where all the staff are so lovely and provide such high standards of care. We have used other nurseries but there isn’t any comparison to the attention to detail that Rainbow Corner provides. My children have always enjoyed nursery; my older two have really fond memories of their time there. The staff clearly know the children really well and provide good daily feedback, both on the gate and through the online care diary. The food is well balanced, with an interesting and varied menu. The nursery is well organised and managed, it’s always easy to talk to someone on the phone or via email. I would definitely recommend Rainbow Corner to anyone looking for a nursery for their child.

Reply from Emma Fowles, Operations Manager at Rainbow Corner Southsea

Thank you so much for this wonderful review, we have loved looking after all three of your children and enjoyed every minute of watching them grow and flourish.

Can’t fault Rainbow Corner my daughter has come a long way with her speech since she started attending, staff are lovely and deeply care for our and every child. It’s a huge building with loads of staff who cover everything you would possibly need 5 stars all over!

Review from Charlotte H (Mother of Child) published on 6 September 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son has done amazingly well at Rainbow Corner. The staff are brilliant and I have nothing but praise for all the work they do. He has grown so much in confidence and learnt a lot in his time at the nursery and I am sad that his time there is over.
Communication between parents and the nursery is exceptional and I always felt in the loop with what was going on with my son and with the nursery in general.

I thoroughly recommend the nursery as it is a great place.

Overall Experience

I can't recommend Rainbow Corner highly enough. The staff are amazing, friendly and they really care about the children - really getting to know them. Both my kids have just loved their time there. They bounce out of the nursery each day happy and smiling and excited about their day - what more could you want... If I could give the team 20 stars I would! Thank you to everyone at Rainbow Corner.

Rainbow Corner Nursery has exceeded my expectations of what a nursery is. My daughter absolutely loves attending and her development is amazing! The staff in the Grasshoppers class have all been so friendly and I love hearing all about what she gets up to every day!

Reply from Emma Fowles, Operations Manager at Rainbow Corner Southsea

Thank you so much for all your support, we love having her with us and look forward to watching her grow and develop.

Had a great experience so far, she is having a lot of fun, learning new things every day, a lot of activities on hand for example singing and drawing. The nursery is making sure everyone is safe and the staff are excellent.

Review from Georgia K (Mother of Child) published on 4 August 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

After 7 years and 2 children, it's time to say goodbye to our second home and Rainbow Corner nursery family. You have given both my children their wings to fly into this crazy world with confidence, good manners and love in their hearts. It has been a pleasure and honour to know you all. We will never ever forget you especially the wonderful staff. I will always speak highly of the nursery and forever be grateful for taking care of the most precious people in my life, my children. We love you all. We will be popping around soon to see you all and say our proper goodbyes. Stay safe.

Reply from Emma Fowles, Operations Manager at Rainbow Corner Southsea

Wow, this brought a tear to my eye. I cannot believe they have both now left to go to school. We are all going to miss you all! Thank you so much for all your support over the past 7 years, it really does mean a lot to us.

Review from Emily P (Mother of Child) published on 4 August 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Friendly staff who take extra care every day with my son, he loves coming to nursery and when we do things on non-nursery days he is always keen to tell his key workers about what he’s been up to! He has lots of friends and the nursery staff know him well. They always go above and beyond to make sure his needs and interests are met and are always there to give him a cuddle if he’s upset! I can’t wait to send my daughter to nursery next month for the first time because I know she will love it as much as he does.

Reply from Emma Fowles, Operations Manager at Rainbow Corner Southsea

Thank you so much, Emily, this is so lovely to read, we love having him with us and can't wait for little one to start too.

I think the nursery has helped massively with my daughter's development and she has met some lovely friends and teachers along the way.

My daughter's speech is superb and I believe that’s through the interaction she receives from the nursery.

Overall Experience

I found the staff at Rainbow corner very welcoming and friendly. My daughter had a bit of separation anxiety at first but the Grasshopper staff settled her into the group patiently and was able to distract her positively. My daughter is thriving since she started nursery and looks forward to going.

We are really enjoying watching her grow, thank you so much for all your support.

Overall Experience

My four-year-old daughter has been attending Rainbow Corner since she was nine-months-old. Throughout her time there, and transition through each group, she has made friends. The nursery provides a variety of learning experiences, fun and a nurturing environment for children. I would not choose any other nursery! The staff are very friendly and welcoming, and I know the children's needs/qualities, likes and dislikes very well. Overall, a lovely, nurturing and happy environment for children!

My son changed nursery in June 2020, following the first lockdown. All the staff have been supportive, and he has continued to thrive and develop well. I am very happy with him being there.

The staff have been so welcoming, accommodating and kind since our little boy started at Rainbow Corner. He comes out smiling after every session, we love seeing updates from his day, his development has come on so quickly since starting just 4 months ago and his eating too.

Review from Anna (Mother of Child) published on 3 July 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Criticism that I would give to the nursery is staff retention is poor - me and her dad have seen various new members of staff over the 6 months she was there.
Also, not enough BAME children in my daughters class (black and minority ethnicities)
As a first-time parent, they had a tendency to speak down to me! Stop this!
I work for the NHS and although we are business we put the lives of our patients FIRST, this nursery is definitely more of a money-driven business.
And lastly please understand us as parents just want a loving and safe place for our children while we are at work trying to better their futures the way you treat us is just as important as the way you treat our children !!

P.s My daughter's key worker and the manager of her room were lovely and this is no reflection on them whatsoever because of YOU was the reason we didn’t leave any earlier.

Cannot recommend this nursery enough. The staff are lovely and have helped make my extremely shy daughter feel confident and happy. Great facilities, especially the wonderful outside area. My daughter will be sad to leave this year.
