My toddler is eighteen months old he has learnt so much in the last six months at Rainbow corner and always seems very happy to go in and when I pick him up. The staff are all amazing and you can see how caring they are.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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 SouthseaThank 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.

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.

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 SouthseaThank 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.

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 SouthseaWow, 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.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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 SouthseaThank 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.

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.

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!

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 • Report
Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
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.

My son really enjoys attending Nursery and all the staff are really caring and attentive. My sons behaviour and the general feeling of well-being is a lot more positive too when compared with his previous nursery, which he didn't enjoy.

Current Review Score: 6.9 (6.916)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 6.9 (6.916) out of 10 for Rainbow Corner Southsea is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 3.8 out of 5 from 2 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.1 out of 5 from 1 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 3.833 for Rainbow Corner Southsea is calculated as follows: ( (12 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) + (2 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 24 Ratings = 3.833
  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 3.083 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Rainbow Corner Southsea is based on 1 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 = 3
    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 60 number of registered child places is 12. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 12 = 0.083
  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.
