The best nursery we've been to. Staff are extremely kind, professional and attentive. Always clean and organised. We saw our daughter progressing very well and developing new skills every day.

Rainbow Nursery @ Little Forest Children's Centre is very welcoming. All staff greet me and my child in the morning.
Information provided from my child's key person at pick up time is great, as I find out what he has been doing while at nursery. If the key worker is off another member of staff will
inform me of my child's day.
He always happy to go into to nursery and enjoys showing me the guinea pigs when I pick up.

Review from Lauren B (Mother of Child) published on 9 February 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have been so impressed with this nursery. My daughter started recently and although she appeared to settle in very quickly after a week or so she started asking not to go. She has a speech delay and I believe she was struggling to make friends. I explained my concern to the room leader and her key
worker who both assured me that they would keep a special eye on her and they have. After a few weeks, the difference is incredible she now has a group of friends and is joining in all the games. She now begs to be taken to nursery instead! I have to admit I was a very worried mum and rang on numerous occasions to make sure she was ok, not once did I feel like I was annoying them, instead they reassured me every time and made me feel so comfortable. I would highly recommend. All the staff are friendly and my daughter absolutely loves it!

I don't have enough good things to say about this nursery. Since we have had our little girl in (since September 17) we've seen nothing but great things from the nursery and reflected in our daughter. She loves coming here and always leaves with a smile on her face. The carers are great, and you can
tell its run with a lot of thought about the children.

I think it is a good place for my child, good friendly staff. The only disadvantage is thinking that everyone is in a room.

Our son has attended Rainbow Nursery @ Little Forest Children's Centre for nearly 2 years now. He attends term-time only and has thrived in the environment. He enjoys each and every day and has made some wonderful friends and has a great relationship with the staff. It is a real pleasure to see him
run in every morning (at 7.30am!) and bounce back to me at 6 pm to tell me all about his busy and interesting day. Thank you, Rainbows for making his nursery life so enjoyable.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Their care for children is very genuine and real, the children enjoy the nursery so much. As parents, we have peace of mind knowing they are in the right hands! This is the best nursery and I will recommend to any parents living in Tunbridge Wells.
Their reports are very genuine, they watch our kids
very closely and update all information on tapestry which helps parents to know what is happening in our children's life and what we can help them to improve more on.
Staff are very friendly and honest, no hidden lies. Very transparent of what exactly is happening. I rate this nursery is above outstanding, the best nursery any child will enjoy. Two of my children attended here.

When my little boy started at the nursery we were both welcomed very well. The staff are easy to talk to and very approachable. They made me feel at ease leaving him there. My little boy only goes one morning a week but he loves the staff and talks about them all through the week. They do a good handover
and welcome in the morning. They all make the effort to say hello when we walk in. An all round lovely and welcoming nursery. Thank you all for being so great with my little boy.

The staff are very friendly and caring they always take the time to talk to you about your child. We often look online to see our child's photo's and my child loves the activities that this nursery offers. I have often recommended this nursery to family and friends.

Lovely nursery my little boy loves it here. Staff are very friendly, kind and caring. The outdoor space is fantastic with lots of playtime activities. They are very accommodating and professional with parents and children.
The outdoor space is particularly wonderful, with different areas set up where
the children can play in the shade. There are lots of different activities such as water play, slides, peddle cars, dinosaurs, playhouses and lots more.
I would highly recommend it.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.917)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.917) out of 10 for Rainbow Nursery @ Little Forest Children's Centre is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 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 4.917 for Rainbow Nursery @ Little Forest Children's Centre is calculated as follows: ( (143 Excellents x 5) + (13 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 156 Ratings = 4.917
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Rainbow Nursery @ Little Forest Children's Centre is based on 13 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 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    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 40 number of registered child places is 8, which has been reached with 13 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.
