Little Rainbows is a great nursery. Our daughter is thriving there due to their personalised care, amazing outdoor space and lovely staff. They are very flexible and accommodating. The children can take part in lots of different activities dependent on their interest.

My child started at Little Rainbows Nursery nearly a year ago and his development has come on leaps and bounds.
It didn't take long for him to settle in and every week he happily enters the setting with his key person, reassuring me that he feels safe and happy.
The updates I get on his day are lovely,
as I know what he's been up to, eaten and how long he has napped etc.
We have frequent conversations about his development, behaviour and his monthly focus. I can drop my son off each week without any anxiety and feel confident that he is in the best hands. I would recommend Little Rainbows to any parent.

My daughter has been really settled and enjoyed being at this nursery from day 1. The staff are all really friendly, clearly know the children and always greet them with a hello. The staff in the baby room are fantastic. We feel really happy and secure leaving our daughter with them. The facilities
are excellent and the admin side of the nursery is always prompt. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has loved her 3 and a half years at Little Rainbows, I have always been kept informed about her progress, what’s she learning, playing, her friends etc. All the staff have always been so approachable. The activities provided have always been suitably stimulating and as my daughter got older
she was given opportunities to help out with the adults a little which she loved. I have recommended to this nursery to numerous friends and all their kids are really happy too.

My child has really enjoyed her time at Little Rainbows. She has made some good friends and has gained so much confidence. The staff are lovely and always happy to help in any way. The daily updates and communication are fantastic this gives you a clear insight into your child’s day. The office staff
are great. They help you manage your hours and work with you to support your needs. Little Rainbows has amazing outdoor space and my daughter loves being outside. It’s great that she has the opportunity to go out every day.

Both my children have had a fantastic time at Little Rainbows. Too easily, the cliche of a family is used, but at Little Rainbows, you really feel part of a loving and caring community, with their raison d’etre to ensure the happiness, safety and progression of your child. Communication is fantastic,
as well as the activities and opportunities provided for the children.

The most wonderful nursery! Both of my daughters have attended from babies and we couldn't fault the care they have received. Attentive, friendly and approachable staff. Well laid out rooms with suitable resources. The outdoor space is a stand-out feature and well-used, come rain or shine! It's a real
home-from home for the kids, they always go in happily and come out full of energy for the fun they've had!

Our boys have only just started at Little Rainbows, and my wife and I are hugely impressed. The variety of activities for the children and professionalism of staff stands out the most, also the outdoor space is awesome. We’re fortunate to have this place situated locally to us.

Can’t rate Little Rainbows highly enough. The staff are very caring, the setting is beautiful and my son loves going and is thriving being there. My daughter also went and loved it. The staff are long standing and it’s clear to see how much they care about each other and the children.

All three of my children have attended Little Rainbows and have loved their time there! It has such a wonderful and welcoming atmosphere. The staff really care for the children, they know them very well and understand how best to support them. Little Rainbows is a caring and nurturing environment where
my children have made life-long friends and connections.

Little Rainbows is an excellent nursery providing high-quality, loving and flexible childcare. They have looked after my son from age 2 through to pre-school. He has been nurtured and loved by the staff and I'm sure will hold happy memories for many years to come.
They have supported his learning,
encouraged him to express his personality and personal choices and have fully prepared him for continuing his education through to big school.

I would recommend this nursery to everyone. The staff provide such a family-friendly support network. They have such positive energy and really help when your child isn't ready to go in. They are professional and very inclusive with parents.

Incredible nursery, our daughter joined a very shy little girl and is learning so much, she is more confident with lots of friends and a great sense of adventure and fun. Staff genuinely care about the kids and go above and beyond regularly. Lots of photos, events and communication. It'll be special
memories for her and us of her childhood. We love you Rainbows.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The staff at Little Rainbows have always given their all to our little boy. He has thrived there, from being a shy Covid baby to a confident and friendly school starter. He has made friends, built strong relationships and tried new things thanks to the encouragement of his key people over the last 2
years. The feedback we get daily is always appreciated and given in addition to diary entries and photos. I can't speak highly enough of the whole team and I feel more confident about my child starting school because I know he will be at Rainbows for his wraparound care, in an environment I know he has enjoyed since he started.

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.
