The mission statement for this nursery is to provide children with a warm and caring environment, supported by dedicated and trained staff. The staff focus on individual children's needs and they aim to ensure every child is given the opportunity to flourish and learn.

There is also an out of school service for the local primary school providing wrap around care all year long.

The setting is open for 47 weeks per year - closing for half terms and Christmas.
The last Ofsted grading was a GOOD in October 2016.
The setting was also awarded a Healthy Tots Accreditation in September 2019.

Little Rainbows is an excellent pre school and I've never heard a bad word about it. Every staff member I have interacted with are very friendly, encouraging and very caring towards the children. The setting has a very homely feel and it has really encouraged my son to come out of his shell and build
his confidence. The outdoor space is amazing and I love that going outdoors is so important to the setting. I would recommend it to anyone living in the area.

Little Rainbows Nursery has been absolutely amazing for both of our boys. As our eldest gets ready to leave for school, we're so thankful for everything the staff have done. This was our second nursery experience and it couldn't have gone better. The team are wonderfully supportive, kind, and genuinely
care about each child. The building is bright and welcoming, and the outdoor space is incredible - perfect for play and learning. Both of our boys have grown so much in confidence during their time here, and it's been a joy to watch them thrive. Our eldest will miss it hugely, and we'll always be grateful to Little Rainbows for giving our children such a happy and nurturing start.

My overall experience of Little Rainbows has been brilliant!
The kids have lovely outdoor spaces that can be used freely in winter and summer, and there are areas of grass they are taken to when desired. The staff are always teaching the kids about different things in the world, which we love hearing
about! Rainbows offered our daughter some extra support sessions to help build her confidence, which have been really beneficial. They do not need to do this, but as a caring institution this is one of the ways they go above and beyond. The staff are great with the kids, and we have seen some really great bonds that have been made. For a nursery, the rooms are always very clean, and I have no doubts about my child's safety when at the little rainbows. I will miss this place when my kid leaves!

We have been attending little rainbows but 3 months now. I can not begin to put into words how lovely this setting is. The staff genuinely go above and beyond and my child looks forward to going each week. The thought that goes into the set up and activities is next level and no occasion goes unnoticed.
It's also the little details from the gifts given to us to celebrate their first day and fathers day to getting a birthday card from the staff. The app is regularly updated so you know what is happening each day.

Wow what a preschool/nursery Little Rainbows is. I have not got a bad word to say about the setting.
My little boy was very unsettled at first but the lovely ladies soon had him running in smiling ready to start the day. All the staff are lovely and you are always made to feel welcome. They do lots
of different celebration days which the children love and some times the parents can join in too which is lovely. They have some lovely outdoor space for the children to explore.
Parents receive photos of your child every day so you can see what they have been doing.
My son and myself will miss the Little Rainbows very much, they really are like one big happy family.

We've had a wonderful experience at Little Rainbows. The staff are absolutely fantastic - warm, professional, and genuinely caring. They always take the time to listen and respond to any worries or queries quickly and effectively, which gives us real peace of mind. The environment is inviting and calm,
creating the perfect setting for all children to feel safe, settled, and happy. It's clear that a lot of thought and care has gone into making it a nurturing and supportive space for early learning and development. We would highly recommend!

Our son has been at Little Rainbows since he was 15 months old and he is soon leaving for primary school. He has received such loving, nurturing care from the staff and has gained so much from his years there. We can't fault the staff or the setting at all.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My little boy has been with Little Rainbows since September 2023 and they honestly are the best! I've received so much continued support for myself and my little one right from the very start.
Me and my little boy moved to Lutterworth due to unfortunate circumstances and when it came to getting my
little boy into nursery, Little rainbows was so accommodating and understanding. Whenever changes occurred eg my work they would accommodate very quickly to suit our needs.
When I raised concerns and needs for my little boy, Little Rainbows made me feel at ease and provided my little boy the extra support and guidance needed.
The care they have for not only the children but the parents is amazing. I left the nursery always feeling relieved and heard and a massive weight taken off my shoulders.
Can't thank them enough for all they have done for me and my boy and I'm sad that we've come to the end. If I could keep my boy there I would.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I cannot praise Little Rainbows enough as a nursery! I would definitely recommend. My little boy has thrived since starting last year. The staff are super friendly and go above and beyond - their care is top notch. They identify the things the children need more support with and encourage the children's
own interests constantly. The children get such lovely experiences on a daily basis, most recently checking out the tadpoles and froglets!
The app is amazing and a great way for nursery to upload photos of the children throughout the day. You will know exactly what they've eaten, what they've done and also notes of any nappy changes etc. They always respond promptly to messages too.
The setting is in a huge period building and is absolutely gorgeous. The outside space is brilliant, with lots of role play areas and a pond.
My daughter also attends Big Rainbows, the before and after school club serving Sherrier Primary. She loves it there and the staff are just wonderful.

Little Rainbows really is the place to be. I first enrolled a child in to the setting in 2019 who had a speech delay. The setting took him under their wings and he came on in leaps and bounds. My second child started at 8 months old due to my own work commitments. It was an absolute home from home environment
and there hasn't been a day in the last 6 years where I've been unhappy or unsure about sending my kids. The outside spaces are to die for, with constant updates and work being put in to improve them even more. The staff are all incredible and inclusive and most of all, realistic. I wouldn't send my kids anywhere else and neither should you!

Both of my children have been fortunate enough to attend Little Rainbows (and still do in one capacity or another!). The setting is wonderfully inclusive, with well-educated, attentive, friendly staff and an abundance of facilities. My youngest has benefited from the nursery's ECAT programme which has
helped him massively with his speech. The nursery is supremely well organised by the administrative staff, who are also very approachable and keen to help.
I cannot recommend this nursery enough!

I cannot give enough praise for Little Rainbows. We feel extremely fortunate that our little boy is able to go to this amazing setting. The staff are so passionate about what they do and go above and beyond to ensure the children thrive in their care. The continuous provision is excellent and the outside
space is great and used whatever the weather. Activities are well-planned and led by the children's interests. The communication through the app is so thorough that we can see all of the wonderful things our son has done each day, as well as what he has eaten and more. Monthly targets are set which really show that the staff know our little boy so well. Our son loves going to nursery and is often reluctant to leave. Thank you to everyone at Little Rainbows for the amazing care you provide!

Quite possibly the best nursery on earth. We saw many nursery's and absolutely loved Little Rainbows from the minute we looked around. All the staff looking after our daughter have been fantastic and her confidence is a direct reflection on the wonderful role models they are for her. They have managed
her complex medical issues with great care and competence. We wouldn't send our children anywhere else.

My daughter and son have been with the nursery since September 2023, they have been having the best, most fun and happy time there, in terms of staff all of them are attentive, loving, caring and understanding, I'm so glad I made the choice to put my kids into this nursery.
My oldest daughter was with
a different nursery previously and the contrast was amazing as to how they come home after a day at the nursery.
I'm very happy with this nursery and will continue to support them!

My son has absolutely loved his years at Little Rainbows as have we as parents. My daughter went to a different nursery setting and we were so happy to have moved to Little Rainbows. The staff are incredible and actually enjoy their roles, showing genuine care and kindness for the children and a passion
for learning. Communication is great and lots of opportunities to merge the home and the nursery. Would absolutely recommend it to parents.

We knew that Little Rainbows was the right choice for us as soon as we visited, and every single interaction we have with the staff when dropping off and collecting our child reconfirms that. The staff are fantastic and clearly care about each child. My child is in the baby room and has been for a few
months now, they love the staff. The activities they do each day are engaging and interesting, I love the updates we get daily and the development they do with is caring and considered. My child comes home chatting and engaged after each session. It is so reassuring to know that my child is in the best hands every day and that I can trust them.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.943)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.943) out of 10 for Little Rainbows Community Preschool & Nursery CIC is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.943 for Little Rainbows Community Preschool & Nursery CIC is calculated as follows: ( (268 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 283 Ratings = 4.943
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little Rainbows Community Preschool & Nursery CIC is based on 24 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 90 number of registered child places is 18, which has been reached with 24 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
