Overall Experience
We highly recommend Rainbow Day Nursery!
Our son had two wonderful years at Rainbow. The staff prepared our little boy so well for reception. The staff’s dedication, warm smiles and knowledge had a huge impact on our son.

Their ground and facilities are also second to none. So look no further!

Overall Experience

My two sons attended Rainbow from babies and had the most nourishing and wonderful time. The setting speaks for itself and was enjoyed by my boys throughout every season! The staff are absolutely wonderful and always welcomed us with open arms - caring, kind and happy, come rain or shine. I cannot recommend this place enough. We miss it so much.

Overall Experience

Rainbow Day Nursery has been a wonderful place for my daughter to grow herself, make new friends and learn from her teachers and peers. Outdoor facilities and range of activities are their main strengths, amongst the diverse and large staff. The team fairly discipline children who misbehave and provide honest feedback on a daily basis amongst bi-annual review meetings. The range of food and drinks provided is fair although there is room for improvement. We'd like to thank the whole team for their kindness and support!

Review from Kirsty C (Mother of Child) published on 31 August 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our daughter has attended Rainbow Nursery for the last 1.5 years, and she loves it! The outdoor space they have is amazing, with their own little farm and animals to feed. The nursery buildings and grounds are definitely a major selling point, compared to some other local nurseries. They are always working to make improvements for the children too - building new things outside, improving their classrooms/facilities.

All of the staff are lovely and have got to know our daughter really well. I feel happy when I drop her off in the mornings and can't wait to hear about her day when I pick her up!

Review from Toby A (Father of Child) published on 5 July 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Rainbow Day Nursery has been an excellent environment for our son. He has been encouraged to learn and have fun and the staff have been attentive, kind and helped him develop very well. Daily feedback and regular reviews of progress and behaviour have helped us respond to any issues rapidly and effectively. It should be noted that the Rainbow management and the childcare staff responded phenomenally well to Covid 19 and managed to navigate the shifting landscape of that time, a testament to their strong team. The nursery buildings and grounds are unmatched in the local area and provide a fantastic opportunity for children to experience a variety of things to help their physical, mental and emotional development. Every day we hear reports of exciting and meaningful activities. Our experience overall has been excellent and we would recommend Rainbow without hesitation. Our oldest child is 'graduating' soon and our youngest just started in the babies room. More please!

Overall Experience

I have two girls going to Rainbow Day Nursery since last year. I love the nursery. The outdoor facilities are excellent. The staff are warm and friendly and my girls are comfortable with their keyworker, as well as the other staff too. They have a lot of different rooms for different age groups and excellent learning. I have seen them grow more confident, make friends, sing rhymes and enjoy messy play. They always look forward to going to the nursery and love chatting about their day and lovely teachers. I would highly recommend Rainbow Day Nursery to anyone.

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

My daughter is at Rainbow Day Nursery and she is very happy. I spent a long time looking at all the nurseries and we loved this one so much we were willing to be put on the wait list and restructure our work diaries until it was free. It was worth the wait. You read reviews, you visit the premises and speak to staff and you get anecdotal evidence, but what really matters is your own experience, which is unique. The facilities are amazing, but that would be unimportant if it was not for the staff and the way it is run. We are extremely happy with it. Our daughter is very happy and well fed. She absolutely adores being there and the staff are incredibly kind, caring and nurturing. I was hesitant only because they didn't have an app, which I really wanted. But, you can call whenever you want, watch the CCTV and they give a detailed breakdown at the end of each day and paper notes so I feel sated, although I would still like the app. I could not recommend it enough!

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!

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

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.

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!

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.
