Review from E W (Mother of Child) published on 8 September 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter started the babies room at eleven months back in 2019, she instantly loved it and so did I. The care for her was and has been impeccable. At nearly four years old I cried as she had her last day due to us moving house. She didn't as she's turned into a confident little person due to the help of the Rainbow family. Looking back at the photos makes me laugh as each day she had come home exhausted, covered in mud and happy! Exactly how a child should. Thank you, Rainbows.

Review from Sangeetha W (Mother of Child) published on 29 August 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our daughter attended Rainbow Day Nursery & Pre-School from about 10 months, and we have had the most wonderful experience at Rainbow. She is now turning 2 and we are moving out of area and have to take her out with such a heavy heart (especially now that we are comparing with other nurseries-the standard of care, facilities, and even costs are so so much better. We can't find anything quite like it). Management is efficient and comes back to you quite quickly. The grounds are big and spacious, they have a little farm with a pony, their own double decker bus and a tree house. I love their outdoor ethos. Our daughter literally loves going into a nursery, and it makes us happy seeing how much she enjoys it.

Review from Mei L (Mother of Child) published on 25 July 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Both my children attended this nursery and we are extremely happy with the care our children received. Staff are so nurturing and caring to all the kids. The nursery provided me with a tremendous amount of support with our youngest, who struggled socially after months of lockdown and shielding. After returning to nursery, staff helped with his delayed speech by putting in a support plan and providing additional support and gave me good strategies to deal with bad behaviour, which were implemented at home and at school for consistency.
The careful management by staff meant the children stayed happy and healthy during the pandemic with extra cleaning regimes.
They have great class structure even for early years development and amazing facilities, with plenty of well thought out activities; different every day.
Most importantly of all the carers of our children were so personable and my kids loved them all to bits.

Thank you so much for all your years of providing great service!

Review from Sophie R (Mother of Child) published on 8 July 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter is about to graduate from Rainbow Day Nursery & Pre-School to go to big school having attended since she was 1 year old. Rainbow Day Nursery & Pre-School has been amazing for our daughter and our family. Such a supportive, caring, creative team who truly care about the children, filling their days with fabulous activities and learnings and fostering positive relationships between the children and both peers and carers. The site is wonderful with lots of time spent outside in the beautiful grounds. We feel blessed and lucky to have been part of the Rainbow "family" and will miss the nursery when our daughter moves on. I would not hesitate to recommend Rainbow Day Nursery & Pre-School to anyone looking for a great, positive environment with outstanding care.

Review from Fiona F (Mother of Child) published on 7 July 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Fantastic nursery. Always warm and welcoming and we found it a very nurturing environment. The atmosphere always feels friendly and laid back which extends to the other families and parents as well as the staff. The grounds are absolutely fantastic as there are so many areas to explore and not just one monotonous outdoor area like some of the other childcare facilities we visited. Our son is really going to miss his Rainbow family when he leaves this year as it's been such a big part of his life for 3 years!

Overall Experience

I am so grateful we found Rainbow. We left London last summer and having a daughter in a place where the staff care (and are continuous) was critical in helping her adjust. She loves going to nursery each day. And who wouldn’t here! They have the most incredible facilities with so much outdoor play.

Overall Experience

I was so reluctant to send our twins to nursery but we couldn’t have chosen better. They have been so happy and well cared for and ask to go on their days at home. Every member of staff knows each child and parent and are always there for support should you need it. My only regret is not sending them sooner so they could have spent more time in this wonderful loving and nurturing environment

Both my children have attended Rainbow and have loved every minute of being there. I know that when I drop them off in the morning they will be well looked after and I have nothing to worry about. I couldn’t recommend them more!

Both of my children love attending rainbow! It’s like a second family for them. The carers are wonderful and both children have formed really strong bonds with them. The facilities are brilliant with lots of outdoor space. We’ve been very pleased with how they have both progressed. Would not hesitate to recommend rainbow.

Review from Darron R (Father of Child) published on 20 May 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Both my daughters attended Rainbow for just over two years each, the youngest will leave in Aug 2022. I cannot praise Rainbow anymore, the people, the facilities, and the location are simply fantastic. My daughters have had the best start to their schooling at Rainbow. Both have loved attending, and I will be sad when my youngest leaves to go to 'big school' in August.
Well done Rainbow, keep up the excellent standards and I hope many more children get to experience the nursery.

Many thanks for everything.

Both our son and daughter loved it at Rainbow!

Our daughter had the best time at pre-school and was very sad leaving for school, as well as our little boy who was always very happy at Rainbow and learning more and more every week, as we don’t speak English at home we could really notice how much he learned at Rainbow, and will definitely come back to Rainbow when we come back to the UK in a couple of months

Overall Experience
Both my girls attended Rainbow and have great experiences at this well run nursery. The staff are amazing and caring individuals. It makes a huge difference to be able to leave my children at Rainbow knowing that they are well looked after.

Thank you, Rainbow. You are all amazing. Especially with the immense challenges we have all faced these past 18 months.

Brilliant nursery. The staff, facilities and care are great. I sent both my son and daughter to Rainbow and they both enjoyed every day they attended. They especially enjoyed the art and craft activities and always happily tell me about their visit to see the bunnies and having fun in the maze!

Review from Anna S (Mother of Child) published on 13 September 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter spent three and a half years at Rainbow, with my oldest daughter also spending her last few months at Rainbow before school. They both loved it from day 1. In the baby/toddler rooms the staff spend time developing cognitive and physical skills. The Pre-school room equipped them both well for school, building on their confidence and independence (helping us a lot with the potty training). I found all the staff very friendly and supportive, listening to their needs and answering our questions (particularly important during these past 18 months of Covid). I always recommend local Rainbow to friends and colleagues because I genuinely think it’s the best nursery in the area.

Review from Jenny I (Mother of Child) published on 8 September 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Rainbow Nursery is a wonderful childcare facility. The grounds are stunning and my daughter would come home excitedly telling me about her day on the farm or the allotment or playing in the maze or on the pirate ship. The staff are friendly and caring and always have time to comfort the children (or parents!) when needed.
My daughter had not settled in previous settings we had tried for her as she is an anxious child, but at Rainbow, she flourished.

I cannot recommend this nursery highly enough and we will sorely miss it now she is starting school.

Rainbow is an absolutely fantastic nursery. The staff are very attentive and have always been caring, helpful and supportive of our child's needs. I thoroughly recommend this nursery. Our child has been lucky to learn and develop in such an enriching environment with plentiful outdoor space, animals and even a tractor!

Review from Sheena P (Mother of Child) published on 8 September 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My firstborn has been at the nursery for over 3 years since he was 14-months-old, my second born has now joined and our experience with this nursery has been amazing.
One of the reasons we picked this nursery was the grounds, the outdoor space that the children get to play and explore in is wonderful, from the playground to climbing frames to the animal barn.

The staff are lovely, they know the children very well and monitor their development throughout. There is lots on offer at this nursery and I highly recommend them.

Overall Experience

After visiting so many nurseries Rainbow was by far the best! There is no comparison, I wish I attended Rainbow when I was young. My daughter enjoyed every moment there and sometimes didn’t want to come home. We love it so much, that our second child (6-months-old) is now attending.
