Rainbow Day Nursery & Pre-School

Rainbow Nursery is really excellent! My daughter has been there for 2 years and loves it. She's currently in the Bears room for 2-3-year-olds and the carers in that room are amazing! They are really great with the kids - so caring! They do so many fun projects with the kids and I'm constantly impressed with what my daughter is learning. There are really great outdoor facilities at Rainbow with the farm, the maze and all the different play areas. The only reason I didn't put value for money as excellent is because I find all nurseries in the area very expensive. Thank you Rainbow for taking such good care of my daughter!

So grateful to know the Rainbow Nursery, outstanding in all aspects. Staff are extremely friendly and the atmosphere is amazing. My daughter loves to be there and this means everything!

My son attended Rainbows for just over 2 years and loved every moment he was there. As a parent, I was at ease knowing my son was being properly cared for and learning and developing in a safe controlled environment. Rainbow is a wonderful nursery with lovely caring staff who I felt really cared for my son. They do lots of activities with the children to help their learning and development, I saw new development in my son on a weekly basis from things he had learnt. The nursery has huge grounds outside for the children to play in and my son loved the little farm with the animals as well. Rainbow is a wonderful nursery and I can't recommend enough to people.

My eldest son attended Rainbow Nursery and my youngest son currently still attends. We couldn't be happier with the standard of childcare they provide. All staff and management make you feel welcome and will always say hello and make your child feel special. The indoor and outdoor space is amazing and the children learn so much. My boys especially like the maze and the farm areas, not to mention the fun bus!

I would not hesitate to recommend to anyone looking for a unique environment where your child will thrive in. Most of the time my youngest doesn't want to leave to come home!

Our daughter started at Rainbow when she was 12 months old until she left to start big girl school.
It is an amazing nursery, from the facilities on offer to the carers. We all made firm friends from other mums and dads to the carers.
I would definitely recommend this nursery to anyone. It was valuable for our daughter's ability to integrate into the school environment.
We will miss it very much.

Our 2 children went to Rainbow for 2+ years each and we were very happy they did. They were loved and cared for every day.

My son left to start school in September 2017! So we had to say goodbye to wonderful Rainbow.
Our son's extra needs were noticed and investigated immediately. We were consulted and helped every step of the way. We knew that they had his best interests at heart. They loved, comforted and helped him grow each day.

The management team are professional and take their responsibilities to the children and parents seriously! They are friendly, helpful, supportive, understanding and respectful.
The vast property itself is wonderful and looked after with pride. The children love to go out and everyone gets to enjoy the outdoors - most of the time - weather permitting.
I think this is an exceptional nursery and I definitely recommend Rainbow.
Thank you to everyone at Rainbow for everything they have done for our angels individually, together and us as a family.

The nursery are very good at communicating with parents via telephone when needed and email. They provide a weekly summary of what your child will be working on that week. This was nice to read so I could talk to my child at home about what he was learning.
Staff are always friendly to parents and listen to any concerns.
Staff are very nurturing towards the children and are sympathetic to those who take longer to settle.

A really lovely nursery in an amazing setting - my daughter has been very happy hear and met some lovely friends. The staff are all very caring and understanding and I would have no hesitation in recommending the nursery.

My son attended Rainbows for almost four years, until he started school this term. Both he and I truely loved it. The facilities are fantastic - there is so much outdoor space. The staff are brilliant, actually teaching the kids things like numbers, manners and about the world. Extra curricular music and sports lessons are also available (and excellent!).
The atmosphere of the whole place is fantastically friendly - the nursery has over 200 kids in, but it feels like all the staff know all the children and will say 'hello' when they met in the corridor. I seriously cannot fault the nursery, it's awesome.

I cannot express how fabulous this nursery has been for my daughter who attended from nine months old until recently when she started school.
The staff are all amazing and the facilities are second to none. We were truly spoilt to be able to send our child here. Her school have commented on how much she has learnt already as this nursery already follows the early years learning before the children leave for school.
Everything is provided including meals, sun creams, nappy creams etc. Allergies and special diets are also catered for very well.
My daughter loved her time here and always wanted to stay longer at home time. We have made so many friends in our time here and we will miss it terribly.

My son was at Rainbow for 2 years and loved every minute. He looked forward to going in and didn't want to leave at home time. The staff at Rainbow have always been very friendly and accommodating.
The kids are spoilt at Rainbow. They get breakfast, snack and tea. As well as sun lotion and nappies provided. It's a great nursery. So much for them to do there. Great land and gardens for them to run around in and explore. A farm and an allotment that they can plant seeds in etc. He (and us) will miss it there.

They do so much with and for the kids. We'll definitely be enrolling our other son next year.

Both of my children have been to Rainbows and both love it. It absolutely relieves any working parent guilt when you pick up happy children who have bonded with staff and who are absolutely thriving in the nurturing environment that Rainbows have created. My daughter has recently graduated having started at one and thanks to Rainbows she is absolutely ready for school not only academically but socially and she has such confidence. She's just taken it all in her stride.

My children are very different characters and I feel that the care and love my children have received is very much tailored to them. Throughout they've been loved for who they are and allowed to grow at their pace, their way which was really important to me.

And those grounds!! The grounds are just fantastic and are used to a great effect by the nursery. I am big into outdoor play and experience so it has been wonderful to find a nursery with the same values.

I wholeheartedly recommend this nursery.

My daughter attended Rainbow 5 days a week from February 2014 to September 2017. I can thoroughly recommend it. We have made many friends of parents, staff and children.
The setting of Rainbow was amazing - great facilities and lovely grounds. The outdoor space is amazing.
The staff are wonderful, loving and caring.
Based on our experience I would not hesitate to recommend Rainbow to everyone.

Rainbow is an extremely special place. We looked at over 7 nurseries and loved Rainbow due to the CCTV and the open space. We have 2 children there and had very very difficult issues with my young son and nothing, and I mean nothing has been an issue dealing with him. The management are fully immersed in each child, every carer knows their name and cannot do enough for them.

The staff are all permanent and committed to each child's development. I will be so sad to leave the nursery as the children and ourselves has found it invaluable. Both my children come home so excited saying we did painting, tree climbing, played in the maze, grew vegetables, went to the farm. Oh and here is a picture of us as a family and look mummy I wrote my name on it!!!

My daughter has absolutely loved being at Rainbow. She first joined at 13 months & is leaving to head to infant school at 4yrs old. My daughter has learnt so much whilst being at nursery & I can't thank her key carers enough for all their time, love & support they have shown our daughter. Her last day is going to be a very sad day leaving everyone. Thankyou!

My daughter has been attending Rainbow for 2 and a half years. I can genuinely recognise how she has developed, became confident in herself. It has a huge input in her personality development.
We loved the different activities, innovative and beneficial, that we have been communicated every week by the the newsletter.
The outside space is amazing, having a farm is definitely a bonus.
Staff know how to balance discipline and freedom, they teach good manners, respect and kindness.
I would definitely recommend the nursery, its feels like family, with directors being hands on everything which is definitely a positive.

This nursery and the fabulous staff restored my faith in nurseries after a poor experience somewhere else. My child is now confident and happy and I am happier he will integrate into school.

The time and effort staff put in is above and beyond. I am simply sad I didn't find them sooner. Cannot more highly recommend.

Rainbow Nursery School has been a wonderful experience for us. Both of our children attended Rainbow. It was a comfort for us to know that our children were in a safe, happy and loving environment.
The indoor and outdoor facilities are great. The large outdoor space is stunning - our children love outdoor play.

The best interests of each of our children were kept at heart by management and their carers. Everyone has shown their care, consideration, patience and respect to us and our children.

Thank you to each of every person at Rainbow, who has put so much effort into our children’s growth and development. They have been so loved and well taken care of there, and we are sad to say goodbye.

The management team and everyone at Rainbow, thank you for everything over the years and for the safe and happy experience you have provided for our children.

We will miss you so much Rainbow!

We have been at the nursery for the last 2 years and have enjoyed the very happy, enthusiastic, positive, friendly, room staff who care for the children. The vast amount of outdoor space, including the fun maze and animal area, was a key feature for choosing this nursery and is fully utilised and much enjoyed by the children.

We are so happy about Rainbow Nursery. Kids nursery age is so important because they learn everything from nursery other than parent training. I personally feel they treat all kids at the same level, no discrimination, nice and friendly atmosphere for kids. Excellent. Wonderful staff. Enough space to play. Lovely atmosphere for kids, to a peaceful place for the nursery, so nice and organised, enough staff to look after the kids. Healthy food. I'm so impressed about the nursery. Money wise, a little expensive for some parents. Many thanks and all the best wishes for Rainbow Nursery.

My daughter only spent a few months at Rainbow before she started school. From the very start, the staff were friendly and accommodating to our needs. The staff are very friendly and the children thrive in a very good learning environment. The grounds are stunning and the children spend a lot of time outside playing, picking fruit, visiting the farm. So very happy to have found this nursery.

We have absolutely loved being part of the Rainbow Nursery. My son has very much enjoyed his time there. The farm and amount of open space for the little ones to run around is amazing. All the staff and extremely friendly and professional. We will be sad to leave, however, we would highly recommend this nursery to anyone.

An outstanding nursery with amazing staff and outstanding grounds and facilities. My son was very shy yet his transition to school was easy and I believe I owe this entirely to the staff at nursery who have given him self-confidence and helped prepare him for the school routines.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this nursery to anyone, and in fact, my second child also attends and also loves it!

I looked at nurseries and found this nursery had everything you could possibly offer a child at childcare. Staff are friendly and well trained. The facilities at the nursery are extremely rare compared to other nurseries. For example, the animal farm and 5 acre of land is amazing for child development. The nursery is structured to catered for all age groups. They have separate outdoor play areas for the different age groups so this way the older and younger children are not clashing which can be intimidating to the younger ones. Also, in terms of development we did not need toilet train or teach our children to use cutlery, the nursery did this for us. They also have a unique child care system whereby if you wanted your child to sleep at a specific time or eat at a different time to the rest of the children, they cater for this. Food is freshly prepared everyday and children eat 6 times a day. Loads of parking space so it is never a struggle to find parking. Best nursery ever!!

My daughter attended here since she was 3 years old. The facilities for the children are amazing - a maze, a farm with donkey`s, rabbits and chicks to learn to take care of, a vegetable garden, numerous playgrounds, sand pits, picnics outside, a ball pit. The children go out for a walk every day and whatever the weather, it's great!
As for the staff, they all work very hard and genuinely care about our children. My daughter has really bonded with her key carers in both Cygnets and Swans. They also are doing a great job in establishing the best start for children in the school. I would recommend Rainbow with no doubt.

My daughter attended here since she was 9 months old. This nursery is an amazing place with so many facilities for the children. The summer is when Rainbow comes into its own! A maze, a farm with animals, a vegetable garden, numerous playgrounds, sand pits, picnics outside, a ball pit (a personal favourite of my daughters!). The children go out for a walk every day in the summer and whatever the weather, it's great! They put on hats and gloves and go out in the winter months too. Cooking every other week was also a favourite of my daughters.
The food is well balanced and my daughter has got to try many new flavours that perhaps I wouldn't have cooked at home.
As for the staff, they all work very hard and genuinely care about our children. My daughter has now started school and has some beautiful memories of her time at Rainbow and still speaks about her friends and carers.
We both miss Rainbow very much and I would not hesitate to recommend it.

Both my Daughter and Son have attended Rainbow Nursery from 11 months. My daughter has just left and started school, and my 15 month currently attends and will do until he is off to school. Both children settled well and the staff were amazing at ensuring the transition was as easy possible for both child and me. The grounds at Rainbow are beautiful and both children especially love/d the farm. The rooms are spacious and very well equipped. The menu is always nice and varied and went down a treat with my 2.

I always highly recommend this nursery to anyone who asks for nursery recommendations.

Both of my children attended Rainbow Nursery and loved it. The grounds are fantastic and the staff are great, with staff turnover being much less than at a nursery my son previously attended. I really felt that the staff got to know my children and brought out the best in them.
My son has just started school and although he only turned 4 a couple of months ago, he was definitely ready for it and has had no trouble settling in.

My 2 sons attended Rainbow both from 11 months. It is an exceptional place with outdoor space which cannot be bettered. They both enjoyed their time and learned through play. The range of activities was incredible (from handling baby chicks to making pasta necklaces and everything in between). It is well run and the communication is excellent.
I particularly liked the feedback at the end of the day - often a remark my son said or an achievement he did. I believe this is unusual for a big nursery like this. They supported potty training and were good about informing me about any bumps and scrapes they'd had. Their time at Rainbow was undoubtedly very special.
There are some exceptional members of staff there which make Rainbow what it is. Their love, warmth and ongoing enthusiasm make Rainbow such a magical place for a child to be. I would definitely recommend, it is an ideal stepping stone for school.

Both my sons were at nursery from 11 months until when they started school, with my youngest starting school in September 2016, and during their time they were both extremely happy. Rainbow is a fantastic nursery. What initially attracted me was the amazing outside space, which they certainly made their most of over the time they were there, with lots of time in the gardens, playgrounds and maze, growing plants, feeding the animals and going on bug hunts. In addition, the support and development they received when in Swans (pre-school) was excellent. Overall the care they received was second to none and they bonded with many of their key workers extremely well. I was extremely comfortable with my children being there whilst my husband and I were at work knowing they were in excellent hands. Would recommend without question.

This is an amazing nursery that exposes children to cooking, cleaning, sharing, growing vegetables, caring for animals, to name but a few. My son loved every minute he spent there and I was always given feedback about his day when I went to collect him. There are numerous play areas, an allotment and even a maze. It has a double decker play bus for the over 2's. Despite there being so many children attending, they are all in age-appropriate classrooms and it always felt quite intimate when you dropped off or picked up. It is a very well organised nursery that I am missing already. I left there, in August, with three lovely books detailing my son's days, along with pictures and details. Amazing journals that I treasure and he will look back at in years to come. I would recommend this nursery to anybody.

Choosing a nursery can be a daunting experience as you are entrusting your most precious thing into someone else's care! We moved to the area 3 years ago and are extremely happy that we chose Rainbow Day Nursery & Pre-School for our son, and then our daughter.
The facilities are second to none...a farm, various playgrounds, a fun bus, an outside ball pit (covered), a maze and so much outside space to explore. This was important, as I didn't want them cooped up all day. They are always outside playing and doing activities. The food is great - home cooked, nutritious, and far better and much more varied than I would be able to offer! Both our children have become far less fussy since attending Rainbow Day Nursery and sampling their menu.
Finally, the staff are wonderful. My children have really bonded with their key carers, and they often run into their arms for a cuddle. They have the balance right - caring and kind, but strict enough to instil kind, caring behaviour and good manners.
Thank you Rainbow!

All things considered an amazing environment in which children can be cared for and can develop. Many happy memories and milestones during the four years in which our son attended Rainbow. Nurseries need to work with authorities to ensure the on-going development and retention of committed Key Workers in this important role.

My son has been attending Rainbow for a year now and has been in two separate classes (Bluebells and Tulips). He has thrived whilst at the Nursery and has been developed so much. I would absolutely recommend Rainbow, not only for the facilities and space but the approach of the staff and management team in establishing the best start for our son from a learning perspective.

Thank you, Rainbow!

Both my children thrived at Rainbow. I was particularly impressed with the pre-school team (Swans) where the staff always seemed to go above and beyond to meet the needs of both my son and daughter; they helped me feel reassured they were in excellent hands, providing the appropriate support both socially and academically.

Our little boy has attended Rainbow for the last 9 months. At first, we were very impressed with the facilities but it wasn't until after he started attending we realised what a gem we had found!
The care he received is second to none - the key workers worked closely with us to help our little boy settle well and later on get through the unsettling time of welcoming a new addition to our family. The best thing about Rainbow is the staff - our boy was not only safe and happy but also loved!

Thank you, Rainbow for helping him to grow and develop into a confident and happy child.

You'll be missed!

My son has absolutely loved his time at Rainbow nursery. He has bonded well with the staff, who are very attentive and have taken time to get to know our son as an individual.

We have been extremely pleased with the level of care and support provided by the staff at Rainbow and we will miss them all.

Our daughter has been enrolled in the birds and the bears classrooms at Rainbow over the past 8 months. We have absolutely loved our time there. Any time we've had specific requests, Rainbow has been very accommodating. Our daughter loves going to this nursery. We really appreciate how they work to get her outside each day, and they have also been great in letting us pack her a lunch since she has picky tastes. When we talk about her teachers, she tells us how they love her, and it warms my heart that she feels so included and taken care of. We would highly recommend Rainbow to any parent.

Rainbow ticked every box for what we were looking for. We had bad experiences with Child Care, and then struggled to find a nursery that could offer our son what we believe he needed for his development. We came across Rainbow, and fell in love with the place from the outset...if I could go back in time myself and attend a nursery, I would choose Rainbow. The outdoor space is second to none, which is so important. having animals on site, is also a massive plus point. Like every business, it is the staff who make it happen, and the staff were all amazing. Our son started in Buttercups and really had a wonderful time. When he moved to Bluebells 1, we were worried, but the staff here also treated our son so well. We are only leaving due to work, but we hope there will be a space available should we return in the future.

I have looked at about 12-15 nurseries in the area and this one impressed me with how happy children looked there, how energetic and positive the carers were, how amazing their grounds were and how professional the management team was.
My son attended this nursery for 3.5 years - the care and development help which he got there helped him to grow a lovely confident and happy child.

Our 2 daughters went to Rainbow nursery and they are now 2 happy little girls, eager to learn, speaking very well, with good manners thanks to the excellent care, love and attention that they have received at the Nursery. Every day when we were going to work we knew that our daughters will spend a beautiful day in a safe, friendly and learning environment. Great staff, the love for children transpires in everybody.

The nursery is well run, has very good staff in terms of qualifications, knowledge, care and love of very young children, compassion and simply being there to help the children and their carers to resolve any issues whenever necessary.
The menus were mostly varied and did include a lot of child friendly food. However, at times I felt there was not enough variety as the menu were rotated on a strict 4 weeks cycle without any changes in the days the meals were offered, which meant that my son (who only attended the nursery two days a week) always had the same two meals for each week. The menus were changed every 1/2 yr or so, which is a good thing and staff made sure that my son always tried the food on offer and ate at least parts of it - and I really appreciated the efforts they made.
The staff in Swan 2 were especially good in getting him fully toilet trained. He was no longer using nappies when moving to Swan 2, but he had regular accidents and it was very difficult at home & nursery to get to the toilet in time. The staff did their utmost to spot the body language and persuade him to go to the toilet on time and praised him when he succeeded. Het eventually got the hang of this before he left nursery to go to school, well done to all involved!

Our son was very happy during his 2 years at Rainbow - he formed bonds with both his key workers and the nursery. It's a very special nursery with engaging, caring and professional staff. The setting is just amazing with a vegetable patch, various animals (including a donkey!) and playgrounds. Our son 'graduated' from Rainbow this summer and started school confidently (despite being one of the youngest having just turned 4) and my husband and I have no doubt that this was in part to do with the help Rainbow gave him preparing him for 'big school'.

We found the staff to be diligent and genuine in their attentions towards the children. The children love the amazing out door space which allows them to 'burn off' energy throughout the year and have fun. Having the opportunity to watch the numerous animals as they grow and develop really resonates with the children and we were regularly provide with updates from our son on what animals were doing what. Rainbow has provided us with a great platform upon which we can now build on going forward. Thank you

We have had our child at Rainbow for nearly two years from an early age and from day one have been extremely impressed with the facilities and more importantly the staff. The facilities are exceptional and the nursery is set upon a lovely location. As parents we have always felt very comfortable leaving our child with Rainbow and have always had great relief in knowing our child is happy whilst at nursery.
I cannot think of any negative comments or any constructive criticism for Rainbow nursery.

Having put my 10 year old through Rainbow all those years ago, we again chose Rainbow for our next 2 babies. We cannot fault the nursery and highly recommend it. The love & care put in by the staff makes the place although you need to check out the grounds and facilities on offer as well which are the best around.

The Management are very involved in the day to day care at the Nursery and they enjoy good grades from Ofsted. Some of the staff were still there from when my eldest went, which says a lot too.

They will have even the tiniest of babies enjoying art & music and once they move to the "big school" side, so much activity opens up to them, cooking every week, something that sadly declines once they move up to Junior School.

I credit Rainbow which helping to shape my children into the confident, adventurous children they are today. Thank you !

This nursery is everything you could wish for and more.
The outside space alone is amazing, team that with the animals, the playgrounds and outside spaces we couldn't have wished for any more.

The nursery workers we have had the pleasure of getting to know have all been caring and nurturing and our little boy has always been well taken care of and given the extra care and attention when he's needed it.
