Review from Catia M (Mother of Child) published on 7 June 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Rainbow Nursery is an outstanding nursery. My little girl was not thriving in her previous setting and was growing increasingly unhappy. As soon as we moved her to Rainbow, we saw a different child. She settled in very quickly and all the staff went out of their way to provide her with activities that she was most interested in while also stimulating her to broaden her interests.

I am truly confident that she is loved, well cared for and expertly guided. In my 14 years as a parent and 24 as an auntie, I have never seen such a loving and stimulating environment as what you will find at Rainbow. The outdoor facilities are outstanding and the children have the chance to really run around and experience different colours, smells and textures in a safe environment. Indoors, it is a pleasure to see children cleaning up after themselves and helping each other at such a young age. Children are not kept in a room all day. They go outside most days and go to the kitchen for cooking activities.

Overall Experience

Amazing nursery. We joined from recommendation and have enjoyed every moment of it. We are sad that only one year is left! Cygnets are the most amazing team. The lady in Birds is the most loving and is fantastic at keeping the children happy. Management is so well organised and make an effort to remember you, giving the nursery a personal touch!

Review from Olivia (Mother of Child) published on 17 May 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our two daughters both spent around two years in Rainbow Nursery. They have been in different classrooms and most of the carers are very friendly and caring. The management team is very helpful and works efficiently. What my children love the most is its outside space, including big play areas and farm with lots of animals. Inevitably they often got messy but they had great fun.

Through their stay they have made good relationships with the key carers and learned sharing with friends, taking turns, caring for others, being more independent and getting ready for big school. A huge thank you to all at Rainbow Nursery for your great help! We will miss you so much!

We have been so pleased with Rainbow. Staff treat children as their own, the atmosphere is warm and welcoming and our daughter has developed in character throughout her time there. Rainbow is a truly exceptional nursery.

Overall Experience

Extremely happy with this nursery. My twin boys developed wonderfully here. The activities and events organised are very impressive and stimulating for the children. The nursery was so supportive of my very hectic work schedule, always accommodating for extra sessions at unexpected and short notice. Staff are all very professional, approachable and caring.

Overall Experience
The fantastic nursery that my little boy absolutely loves so much.
There is not a day that goes by that he asks “can I go to school?“

Rainbow focuses on every aspect of my child’s needs and developments and I couldn’t recommend Rainbow more.

We love Rainbow. It is a well-run nursery with lovely staff who really care for our daughter when she is there. We particularly like the emphasis on spending time outdoors in the huge grounds, going on walks and interacting with all of the animals.

I couldn’t recommend Rainbow enough! My daughter is there all day and still never wants to come home as she’s having so much fun. I think that says it all.

Our daughter has thrived since she joined this nursery. All of the staff we have encountered over the last 18 months have been lovely and our daughter is very settled at Rainbow and always goes into nursery and comes home very happy.

Review from Sharon K (Mother of Child) published on 13 December 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter, now 15 months, has been attending since she was 10 months. I can't believe how quickly she has settled in here, she has so much fun and is already making little friends. She is so well cared for and it's a joy to see how she is developing in so many areas, all with the support of her carers and especially the attention from her key carers, all of whom she has formed such lovely bonds with.
The nursery itself is well managed and communication is excellent. Parents are informed weekly, of exactly what their children will be learning. There is a varied food menu and it is made freshly each day. Not to forget the beautiful grounds, which the children are often taken to explore.

Overall, we are so pleased with the progress our little one is making and the support we receive as parents. It's been a great decision for us all.

Review from Suvarna M (Mother of Child) published on 13 December 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Very happy with Rainbow staff and facilities. Everyone is very friendly, always sharing a smile and that’s what my little one needs! As a first time to nursery environment, I felt bit uneasy, but my little one liked it within a week. As soon as she sees her carer she goes with smile and hug. She enjoys outside most of the day and this is the perfect place for it. She loves animals and going to the farm is one of her favourite activities. They always aim to encourage and bring out the best in her. We are happy that we chose this nursery! Thank you!

Overall Experience

Rainbow Day Nursery & Pre-School have provided both my son and daughter with a fun learning environment, all staff know my children well and both children are happy going into nursery each morning and have lots to tell me upon collection. Forming good bonds with key workers. The children have access to indoor and outdoor activities every day and are encouraged to eat a well balanced and healthy breakfast snack and lunch. Very happy parents and children thank you.

Overall Experience
My son has been attending Rainbow Day Nursery & Pre-School for 3 months and he has come along in leaps and bounds. He is so confident, he’s made a friend and absolutely loves going to nursery.
Me and my husband are so happy with the nursery and the staff. We have weekly updates on what the room is doing for the next week.
All the staff are helpful and friendly.
All food is cooked fresh on site my son has a dairy intolerance which is no issue as they have alternative menus planned that consist of meals and not just sandwiches.

I would recommend this nursery to all parents.

Review from Louise C (Mother of Child) published on 10 December 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son has been at Rainbow Day Nursery & Pre-School since he was 9 months old. he is now an independent, polite, intelligent and happy 3-year-old which is hugely down to his time at Rainbow Day Nursery & Pre-School where he has been so well nurtured. At every stage and with every key worker we have been so happy we dread the move up to the next room, only to be just as happy with the next! The outdoor space and farm is like no other nursery in the area. We love rainbow so much it’s made finding and choosing a school we love as much extremely difficult!!

Overall Experience

Every day our son comes home with another string to his bow. The carers do an excellent job of making learning fun. The nursery itself has fantastic facilities. The outside space is amazing with a maze, a small farm, and lots of fun outside areas. We can't speak more highly about the staff. Every one of them seems to know every child by name (no mean feat!) and they are all without exception lovely, caring people.

I cannot recommend this nursery enough. After my now six year old came here, it was a no-brainer that my other little daughter was coming too. The girls in bluebells have been totally amazing with her, she loves coming in and enjoys her day. She sleeps well and eats even better.

On to tulips we go.

Overall Experience

Very dear Rainbow,

My wife and I can only give 100% positive and absolute praise for your nursery. Everything was managed brilliantly during our son’s year there. Above all, the nursery staff all seemed to genuinely care for our special little boy. He was always happy at the end of the day, full of energy and joy, having caused chaos at the farm and being a normal happy little boy making as much mess as possible! We were really sad that we had to leave Rainbow - some very happy memories were made there. Can’t praise all aspects highly enough. Ofsted are inaccurate not to give it an outstanding (exemplary, if that rating exists) rating!
