Review from C G (Mother of Child) published on 13 June 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Rainbow is an incredible nursery full of amazing, energetic and caring staff. My daughter has developed so well here and is happy every day she comes in. They follow the curriculum well for EYFS but also have amazing grounds, a farm and forest school. My daughter loves animals as we have a dog at home but also I'm sure this love has developed from visiting the farm.

Overall Experience

I cannot speak more highly of the experience we have had and continue to have with Rainbow. The staff are friendly, professional, and really skilled in supporting young children make progress. The facilities are excellent and there is a clear plan for improvements which is exciting. Their commitment to the outdoors and the process of learning aligns so well with our family's ethos. We wouldn't choose anywhere else!

Overall Experience
I have been so impressed with my experience at Rainbow so far. The staff have been amazing at helping my little one in all ways and I can see the day to day development of which the carers have assisted in. They are all great with the kids and create such a welcoming trusting environment
The space the nursery is situated in is also brilliant. I love the grounds and the animals there which provide great experiences

It has also been great around how accommodating the management have been in making sure the kids have the best experience possible, for example making sure kids in friendship groups stay together as they transition up classes

Overall Experience

Both of my children go to Rainbow, and we've been really happy with the experience. My eldest is moving on to school in September, and they've really helped her feel ready and excited for the next step. The outdoor space is fantastic-so much room for them to run around and explore-and the food options are great too. The staff are always friendly and genuinely care about the kids. We feel lucky to have found such a warm and supportive place!

Overall Experience

Such a wonderful nursery and environment for children. The carers are all so welcoming and friendly. The outside space is amazing with the animals and the range of activities. The weekly emails are great to know what to expect and to see what the children are learning that week. The choice of food is really varied. Overall really positive experience and would definitely recommend.

Review from Philippa M (Mother of Child) published on 13 June 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter has been attending Rainbows Nursery for the past two years and we couldn't be happier with our decision. The staff are truly exceptional. She has moved through four different rooms during her time there and we've been consistently impressed and comforted by the care and dedication of every team.

It's such a reassuring feeling to drop her off three days a week knowing she's in a nurturing, engaging, and supportive environment. The outdoor space is outstanding, especially the forest school, which she absolutely adores. Her confidence has grown so much and she's formed wonderful friendships along the way.

I genuinely believe Rainbows has given her the best possible start and will have her well prepared for school. I honestly can't think of a single negative thing to say. If you're considering sending your child here, do it. You won't regret it.

Our son is thriving at Rainbow, both emotionally and physically. The staff are incredible and are such wonderful people, the grounds and facilities are better than any nursery in the area. We are so glad to have got a space for him, we can't wait to see him grow in this fantastic learning environment.

Overall Experience

My Son has been attending this Nursery from the age of 14 months and is on the verge of leaving in August.

From the very start he was made welcome and comfortable. He has built bonds with the Key workers in each room he's been in and his progression has been amazing. I can't rate this nursery any higher. He's loved every minute being here.

Amazing nursery, great staff. We are satisfied with the care of our child, thank you for all the patience shown. We are pleasantly surprised by our child's progress because in a very short period of time he managed to learn numbers and recognise the alphabet.

Thanks you.

Overall Experience

Everyone at Rainbow is just so lovely. My son loves being there. They are so caring and kind. The teaching is spot on and they really do teach to be great all-rounders and the perfect place to prepare for school. The facilities are exceptional and it's very rare to find the amount of outside space they have in many nurseries. Just such a fun nurturing place.

Review from Shana D (Mother of Child) published on 19 December 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

This nursery came highly recommended by two other mums to me, and I am so glad I chose Rainbow for my daughter. Rainbow is like no other nursery - they have an animal farm on the premises and have amazing grounds for children to be children. I love how they emphasize they are providing a childhood experience, not just a nursery service! My family and I have been through some tough times recently and everyone from the key carers to management, was so supportive and caring! My daughter always has the biggest smile when she sees the nursery in the morning - what more do you want than your child safe and happy! The ladies who have looked after my daughter in the Wobblers and Toddlers room have been truly amazing. 10/10!

The staff are lovely, and the children are always happy to be dropped off and if anything don't want to leave.
Excellent facilities, good, clear, regular communication.

Love that children have lots of outdoor space to play, makes it really stand out from other nearby nurseries.

Rainbow has been absolutely fantastic over the last year for our little boy. He has absolutely thrived in every way since joining and is so excited to go to nursery.

The care received from all staff across rooms has been exceptional, and they so often go the extra mile to show the personal touch. The farm and garden is brilliant, we couldn't be happier.

Review from Alex S (Mother of Child) published on 19 December 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Driving through the gates onto the beautiful Rainbow Nursery with its vast fields, mazes, mini farm, pirate ship, and more I feel proud to have my daughter enrolled here.
Step inside and the magic begins, the calm and relaxed environment is reassuring and a testament to how incredible the staff are at engaging the children.
The equipment, activities, and games are endless and of the highest quality. Phonics, baking, and forestry school are a few of the things my daughter loves the most.
The staff are utterly fantastic, they build the most incredible relationships with the children which is reflected clearly in the bonds and interactions.
They are always so positive, engaging, happy, and reassuring. Any slight problems are met with care and resolved immediately.
Rainbow makes the child and parents feel valued and important.

We have three top favourites staff members in particular and we are so lucky to have them. Rainbow is number 1 and I truly encourage and recommend it as your nursery of choice.
