Review from E E (Mother of Child) published on 20 October 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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!

Review from Charlotte C (Mother of Child) published on 10 October 2022 Submitted via Website
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.

Review from Lauretta L (Mother of Child) published on 5 October 2022 Submitted via Website
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.

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!

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!

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

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.
