Review from Aurelie M (Mother of Child) published on 26 June 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

This is a fantastic nursery where my son is the happiest! From the huge outdoors space to the professional care of the staff, the access to animals, the activities, and the great support to parents, I cannot fault Rainbow Day Nursery. I am genuinely impressed at how welcoming and friendly the staff are and how accurate and appropriate their assessment and development plans are for each of the children. My son has developed such a bond with all his carers in every group he has been in, growing his skills at all levels. I am 100% confident when leaving my son every morning that he is in the safest hands, which is all you need as a parent.

We have 2 children at Rainbow Day Nursery & Pre-School. We honestly couldn't recommend this nursery enough. We are so pleased with the care that the Day Nursery has provided!

The nursery facilities (both indoor/outdoor) are outstanding, fantastic and keep improving. The staff are truly amazing, the overall environment is warm and friendly. The carers are respectful, attentive, playful, caring and give very useful informative insights. I truly recommend this place, it is definitely the best nursery for children to grow and develop!

Overall Experience

My boys adore being at Rainbow Day Nursery & Pre-School. The facilities are incredible, never a dull moment for them. But best of all is the staff.. they are all outstanding and my boys are so fond of them. They are wonderful at what they do and I’m so thankful my boys are in such wonderful hands all day. So pleased my boys have the opportunity to be in such a fab place. They learn so much and have so much variety at their disposal.

Review from Melissa B (Mother of Child) published on 20 June 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Rainbow Day Nursery & Pre-School has provided our child a stellar foundation. Since before she could even talk, the staff have nurtured and supported her with loving diligence, joy, professionalism, and kindness. The gorgeous school (playful facilities, farm, bus and garden) all speaks for itself. But it is our daughter's happiness going to Rainbow every single weekday morning, and her nonstop excited chatter about teachers and friends (and tea!) all the way home that speaks for the staff. Rainbow's systems, safeguarding, early years education and parent communication are just fantastic! She is so well prepared for primary school.

Review from Rebecca H (Mother of Child) published on 20 June 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our little girl suffers from mobility issues which limits her ability to stand and walk, yet the staff have been fantastic since day 1. The care and attention they give to her is outstanding, they go above and beyond on a daily basis to provide everything she needs to support her physical development. The staff took it upon themselves to take part in her physiotherapy sessions so they could continue her exercises at nursery. When she lost weight due to illness, they tried all they could to help encourage her to feed. When she struggled to eat independently they purchased special cutlery just for her. The list goes on, and that's just in relation to her mobility. She was recently recognised as a bright baby, which they identified and sent her for a referral. They are actively nurturing this by bringing in older toys just for her and encouraging more advanced play with numbers and letters. It honestly makes me quite emotional when I think about how much they do for her. Thank you Rainbow Day Nursery & Pre-School

Overall Experience

Our daughter has been at Rainbow Day Nursery & Pre-School since she was 7 months, she is now almost 4 and we can’t believe where the time has gone. Rainbow is just the most amazing nursery from the staff to the incredible grounds including farm animals, a pirates ship and a maze, it’s truly unique. We are provided with regular feedback on our daughter's progress and we have seen her develop way beyond what we could of expected. Thank you Rainbow you are the best.

Review from J M (Mother of Child) published on 20 June 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Really great nursery with the most amazing outdoor space. All staff that I have come in contact with have been great and really help support my toddler with his learning. He is clearly very comfortable being there and has such fun. It’s really great that with it being such a large nursery, there are lots of different classes which means they can tailor support to the age groups.

The only thing I would like to see that I know other nurseries do is an app that lets me know what my child has done that day, what he has eaten, etc. and provide photo updates. At the moment we just get verbal handovers.

Overall Experience
I have 2 sons at Rainbow (since September 2022). I honestly couldn’t recommend this nursery enough. The staff are absolutely amazing, my boys have been so happy at Rainbow, never have I had to drop them off crying or pick up (which they did at their last nursery).

Everyone knows everyone, to the carers, reception staff, gardeners and the chefs! It’s like a family. Our favourite part is that they are outside 80% of the time - no matter what the weather! The space they have is incredible. Thank you every one!

Overall Experience

Absolutely fantastic nursery experience for our son. The outside areas and space are wonderful. The staff and environment is warm and friendly. We feel the nursery has not only provided a great social base for our son, building friendships etc., but we've also been really impressed with how well the children are prepared for 'big school'. What a great place Rainbow Day Nursery & Pre-School is.

Review from Marie S (Mother of Child) published on 16 April 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I am so pleased we chose Rainbow Day Nursery & Pre-School for our daughter. She started when she was 8 months old and is nearly 2 now so I am confident I can provide an honest review.
The nursery is kept clean and the rooms are all specifically built out for the different age groups and help to promote play, curiosity and interaction. We are especially pleased that Rainbow has a great outdoor space with animals. My daughter loves animals and the fact that she can visit them on a daily basis is brilliant. I am in fact jealous. They have thought out the outdoor space with as much care as the inside, all age appropriate spaces with fun activities.

My biggest praise is for the carers they are attentive, caring, playful and give useful/informative insights. I am able to leave my daughter in their care with confidence that she will be treated with outmost care and respect.

Overall Experience

We have had two children attend Rainbow almost consecutively since 2017. I love the outdoor space they have available and the different rooms for age groups. Our children have excelled there, and the staff are very friendly and genuinely caring. They are constantly investing in new equipment and developing ideas to entertain and assist learning opportunities for the children. My only thoughts for areas of improvement would be to embrace more technology like an app, in the way daily and EYFS feedback is provided.

My daughter attended Rainbow Nursery for three years before going to school and absolutely loved it. The staff there are amazing, kind, caring, nurturing, hard working, and very dedicated to the children! They have shown me and my child love and respect and the the management have always been very supportive. Their outside space is wonderful and very big, lots of animals for the children in their own little farm. This place is absolutely the best nursery for children to grow and develop!

Review from K A (Mother of Child) published on 10 October 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son attended Rainbow for 3.5 years. In every room, he was so well cared for and built close relationships with all the carers. It was great to be able to be with similar-age children as he progressed through the different rooms. The facilities available are fantastic, and the stories of going to the allotments, to the farm, the pirate ship, and in the bus that came home each day were brilliant - my son loved the outdoor spaces, and Rainbow was able to provide so many different experiences just outside the classroom, and they would ensure they were out there as much as possible (welly boots a must!). I thought the final year he was there, in 'voyagers', was a great way to transition the children to school, and my son has benefited from this when settling in smoothly at school.
The management area was very communicative and understanding; this was seen exceptionally through the pandemic when it must have been such a tough time to run the nursery.

Thank you, Rainbow!

Overall Experience

My daughter left the nursery in August to go to primary school. She absolutely loved her time there and would ask most weekends if it was a nursery day today. Her preschool teachers genuinely had an amazing impact on her vocabulary, confidence and overall happiness in her early years. She will miss them greatly, and we would definitely recommend the grounds and resources that Rainbow has to offer. See you again, hopefully.

Review from Sophia S (Mother of Child) published on 6 October 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We met a family on a plane to Crete, who recommended Rainbow Nursery in Lyne before we relocated to Laleham Village in the UK in 2019. Even though Rainbow Nursery was a bit of a drive from us, we fell in love with it as soon as we saw it.

We couldn't have picked a better nursery or asked for better care for our sons. Our boys had an incredible experience at Rainbow, and this was down to the standard of care, learning, facilities, and amazing staff and management. It is with a heavy heart that we had to say farewell this September when our youngest started school. We will always have fond memories and will be forever grateful for the love and care our boys got from the Rainbow family! Would highly recommend this nursery to anyone moving into the area.

Overall Experience

My daughter absolutely loved her time at Rainbow Day Nursery. She especially loved the outdoor space, which is second to none. She loved the animals and all of the different outdoor areas. In summer, she was always coming home with fruits and vegetables that she had picked from the allotment. The teachers she had were amazing and were great at giving her activities that met her intellect level and kept her engaged. She learnt a lot, especially in her last year at Rainbow.

Overall Experience

My daughter spent 2.5 wonderful years at Rainbow, and I couldn't rate this nursery higher. All the room staff were so caring and kind with genuine love and dedication for all the children in their classes. Attending during the pandemic, the management team were exemplary in their communication and ability to navigate the continuous changes and challenges. Truly sad to leave Rainbow behind when my daughter started school. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone.
