Review from Suzanne S (Mother of Child) published on 17 December 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
From the moment we were shown around Rainbow we knew it was the right nursery for our daughter. My husband and I have been so delighted watching our daughter thrive since starting there just over a year ago.
It’s always nerve-wracking moving up classes and settling her in with new key workers but the process is always seamless and within a week it feels like she’s known them forever.

It’s a safe, warm and fun-loving environment and I can’t imagine sending my daughter anywhere else.

A lovely nursery with excellent facilities and caring staff. Both my children have attended Rainbow and enjoyed the outdoor farm and space available. It is a very caring yet professional environment.

Rainbow is a fantastic nursery! All the staff are fantastic and the setting is incredible. Our son has thrived since starting here in September 2020. The nursery carers are exceptional and the management team's communication to parents is top-notch. I'm so happy we chose this nursery for our child.

Review from Kate R (Mother of Child) published on 17 December 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My youngest daughter has been at Rainbow for 16 months now and loves her time there. The staff are very caring and enthusiastic and provide a wonderful range of activities each day. It has been so important for her to have a couple of days of "normal" each week during Covid, particularly the opportunity to socialise with her peers and other adults. She started off quite shy but her confidence has really improved.

I couldn't be happier with Rainbow and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

Overall Experience
Rainbow Day Nursery, is a wonderful and beautiful place. My daughter has been there since she was 6 months old she is now 3. The farm is beautiful and the grounds of the nursery are amazing.
Staff are excellent at teaching the children while having fun, my daughter could do her ABC at 2 years old.
The staff are very welcoming and friendly they will tell all about your child's day and what they had to eat. They also help out a lot with potty training.

I would highly recommend this nursery.

Review from Elizabeth K-J (Mother of Child) published on 17 December 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
They provide excellent care with safety coming first. They think of ingenious things for child development and focus on independent and expanding a child's social skills. They have great facilities and the environment is always clean and refreshed with new materials and toys. The staff are friendly and very professional. They provide a varied and healthy menu and they are very accommodating to your child's needs and wants.

I would only send any future children to Rainbow and would highly recommend.

Review from Erica B (Mother of Child) published on 21 August 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son started at Rainbow at 9-months-old and is now just about to leave for 'big school' aged 4. It has been a wonderful journey for him and fantastic experience for us as parents, so I really cannot recommend the staff, carers, and environment at Rainbow enough.
Loads of engaging activities, great learning opportunities, bags of outside space to explore, a farm, a maze, a bus, brilliant play areas and carers who provide the support, encouragement and boundaries needed, what more could a growing boy want!
The management team's handling of the reinstatement of service following lockdown was fantastic, providing all the information and reassurance needed to be able to send him back to nursery without concern. Every engagement I had with them has always been professional and impressive.
His key carers through the years have always been very approachable, knowledgeable and I have never had doubts that he is in great hands.

Thank you Rainbow for providing him with a great start in life.

Review from Chloe W (Mother of Child) published on 23 July 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
So at the beginning of lockdown, my son's nursery closed.
Worried about his progression due to him having ASD and him being recognised as vulnerable, he was offered a place at Rainbow's nursery, and I can honestly say it was the best thing that ever happened for us.
He has completely grown and progressed in ways I didn't see possible, and that's all thanks to the staff at Rainbows; they have been so accommodating to his needs and his 1-2-1 sessions with the two girls are amazing?
He's so happy to go in every morning, which is obviously a bonus. He's singing new words and a very happy little boy.

I'm so happy with this nursery, and anyone looking for a day nursery for their child should definitely look at Rainbows.

Overall Experience

My son has been attending Rainbow nursery since he turned 1, so has been there for nearly 4 years now. My younger son has also attended for the last 18 months. I am very happy with Rainbow and the quality of care my little ones receive. All the different carers they have had over the year groups have been amazing. The grounds are excellent, and the kids always seem to have had great days when I collect them. There are many activities, games, toys, messy play, allotments, the farm...every day is an adventure at Rainbow! The way that they have dealt with COVID has been brilliant. Keeping parents well informed and putting procedures in place to get the little ones back to nursery in a safe and efficient manner. Both of my little ones have settled back in amazingly well, which is a testament to how they feel about the nursery.

Big thank you to the Rainbow team who accommodated my little one during the COVID crisis. My 11-month-old adjusted super quick and adores all the girls at Rainbows. Lovely staff, beautiful nursery with large spaces and excellent response to all of our concerns. Highly recommend!

Review from Gemma B (Mother of Child) published on 11 May 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son has been attending Rainbow since 2018 and is 3 years old. My twin girls who are 10 months have just started.

I am a key worker and have returned to work as my maternity leave has finished. Returning to work after maternity leave is an anxious time but with the current climate, it brings with it so many more anxieties. Not only were the girls going for the first time, my son had not been for 6 weeks.

We have always been happy with Rainbow but the way they have been during this period of time has only confirmed that they are a fantastic nursery. All of the girls working there are wonderful, welcoming and show such care for all the children. I was worried that no one would ever be able to tell my twin girls apart and they’d become one person, that just has not happened and they are very much individuals.

It has provided us with an element of normal back into our lives in such a strange time.

My daughter has thoroughly enjoyed her time at Rainbow Day Nursery and truly enjoys going in every day. After a tearful first few weeks, my daughter now happily walks in and waves me goodbye excited to see what exciting new things she will do each day. Could not recommend Rainbow Day Nursery enough.

Overall Experience

We moved our son to Rainbows in Lyne after a bad experience with another nursery and reading great reviews for Rainbows. From day one, we saw a great improvement in our son's behaviour and attitude. This was all down to the great, kind, caring and dedicated staff who really helped with his happiness and wellbeing. I can't speak highly enough of all the staff and especially the Manager. They are constantly thinking of new ideas to educate and entertain the children.

Review from Ivy (Mother of Child) published on 6 December 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son started to attend Rainbow Nursery from July. He is behind in his learning and speech development but we have seen a tremendous improvement in him in the past few months. This is all down to the great support, patience and knowledge of special needs children from the staff and carers at Rainbow.
We are also very pleased with the facilities especially the vast outdoor area for play and education.

My son loves going to nursery every day, playing and learning under excellent care.

Overall Experience

I’ve had three children attend Rainbow and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it. All of my children have loved their time there and made such progress in their learning, confidence and social skills. The facilities and outdoor space is excellent, and the children get to do a really wide range of activities. The biggest asset though is the staff - they are always so welcoming, kind and genuinely care about the children they look after. A really lovely nursery.

Overall Experience
Rainbow stood out as a choice for us with its fantastic grounds and facilities for the children but also the clear support and care the children receive.
Our child is extremely happy being at Rainbow, learning new things every day, bringing them out of their shell and making friends.
As much as they focus on development, they also allow them to be children and enjoy their days!

Thank you, Rainbow for making parenting a lot easier for us, knowing our child is cared for.

Review from Priyanka (Mother of Child) published on 6 December 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We started when my little one was ten months old. As she had travelled quite a lot prior to her start date she had a very difficult time settling in. All the staff were very positive and although it took more than the usual days to settle in, her carers have been extremely patient and have given much more attention. I was very worried initially because of my little one crying and screaming mostly but I was given confidence and encouraged to continue further. Two months down the line, she is very comfortable and playful and now enjoys her days. They have different kinds of activities and the place is clean. They also give a detailed run through at the end of the day. Very happy I chose Rainbow Nursery and will definitely recommend.

Review from Danielle M (Mother of Child) published on 6 December 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son is attending Rainbow and has been since he was one. My daughter who is only three months is already signed up to start when she turns one. The staff are wonderful, very caring competent and obviously adored by my son. He has been incredibly well taken care of and the nursery have even accepted additional training for some staff to give my son special medical treatment if he has a seizure. They really do go above and beyond to take the best care of your children.
He loves it at Rainbow and is always entertained, gets lots of outdoor time, which he loves, and has learnt so much from the organised activities.

I would definitely recommend this nursery.

Overall Experience

Absolutely wonderful nursery. The staff are so friendly and attentive to the children. Our son enjoyed his time here so much and he always came home happy. The staff always knew what he had been up to for the day, what he had eaten, and how he had been and they would always take the time to feed that back. Rainbow has played a crucial role in our son's development at such an important time in his life and we would not hesitate to trust them with that again. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a nursery.
