From discovering their very own animal sanctuary to climbing aboard the galleon, racing over Teletubby Hill, tending to the allotments, and getting lost in the excitement of the children’s maze - there is always something to spark curiosity and imagination.
Each morning begins with a much-loved Garden Detectives sessions, where children become little explorers, observing, investigating, and connecting with the natural world around them.
These unique experiences continue with a double-decker wellbeing bus for relaxing yoga sessions, a hands-on farm classroom, and daily Forest School adventures, whatever the weather, helping children build confidence, resilience, and a lifelong love of the outdoors
A highly qualified team of staff draw upon a huge range of knowledge, experience and resources to ensure that the children get the maximum learning and development out of enjoying themselves, playing and having fun.

My daughter has been at Rainbow Nursery for 18 months and she loves it so much. It makes it so easy to leave her as I know she has a great day. All the staff and management there have been amazing. They are all so welcoming and very helpful. The grounds are beautiful with their own animals on site which I think is lovely. Plenty of outdoor space for the children to run around and enjoy themselves. My daughter has learnt so much being at Rainbow and her little sister has just joined her there and is loving it too. I would highly recommend Rainbow.

My son moved to Rainbows having been at a different nursery, where I was unhappy and concerned about the care of my child (it was rated outstanding at the time), several children moved. The standard in comparison is incredible, the grounds and facilities are wonderful (maze, farm, trees to climb, play areas etc) and speak for themselves but it is the care and attention that each child gets from the keyworkers that go beyond what I have seen elsewhere. The attention to detail and the care that has been taken during covid has been excellent. It does feel like a community especially with the level of communication that we get from the management team. Swapping nurseries is the best thing I could have done for my son and I would not hesitate to recommend Rainbows to any parent as a truly unique and special place.

The cleanliness of the rooms, toys and facilities has notably increased which I am thankful for and I hope this is continued into the future.

All three of my children have attended Rainbow Day Nursery and we could not have been happier with the care they have received. Our youngest is in her final year, and we are going to be so sad to be leaving the Rainbow family. The outdoor space and facilities speak for themselves, but what you won't see on a visit is just how caring the key carers are. My child is known and loved by all the people who take care of her, including the managers (who must have to memorise hundreds of children's names). She has such a strong bond with her key carers and others in her room. This is reassuring when you have to leave your small child in someone else's care! She gets the perfect balance of play, creativity, physical activity, and structure. We know from our previous two children that Rainbow prepares children well for school. Also, the attention to detail and the procedures put in place for Covid times have been excellent. We are completely confident in Rainbow's leadership. Thank you, Rainbow!
My three children attend the nursery and have done so since they were 13 months. It’s a very sociable loving environment and the facilities continue to expand and improve for the benefit of the children.

My daughter has been at Rainbow for just over year now. All staff members in the rooms have been lovely. My daughter is extremely happy to go into nursery and comes home even happier after a fun-filled day. I love the amount of time they get to spend outside, visiting the farm and in the lovely...
Rainbow's communication is very good and always feel confident I know how what's going on in the nursery, what's coming up etc. So very happy I chose this nursery my daughter and would highly recommend it to anyone.

I have my second child at Rainbow now and the experience it just as good as when my first born went there. Excellent leadership who I feel genuinely care and are always looking for ways to keep fresh, plus the grounds and facilities are amazing.
Bearing in mind the current COVID climate and amount of change, anxiety and nervousness, Rainbow have been informative, clear on instructions yet completely focused on keeping the experience fun and pleasant for the children - a great job under extremely challenging circumstances.
Great nursery, my son loves it and seems to be learning so much. I feel comfortable leaving my son there knowing he is in great hands and that he will have a day filled with fun and games, whilst learning too.

This is such a wonderful nursery. The staff are incredibly thoughtful and care so much about the wellbeing of the children they care for. Activities are fun and interesting even though my daughter is only seven months old. The reason I would - and have - recommended Rainbow to so many friends is the brilliant outdoor facilities. I love that, while I'm working, my baby is off to the farm with her friends, enjoying the fresh air. I can only imagine this will become more and more valuable as she grows through Rainbow. The frequent emails from the management team about everything from Covid protocols to local roadworks which may cause an inconvenience make you feel part of a really cared-about community. I also think it is excellent value for money compared to other local facilities.

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.

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...

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.
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...
I would only send any future children to Rainbow and would highly recommend.
Loads of engaging activities,...
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.
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.

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.

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.
Rainbow is the most perfect nursery setting, and we have been so lucky to have our daughter there. The staff are absolutely fantastic, and the handling of everything during the pandemic has been perfect.

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!
