Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has been at Rainbow since he was two, and I love how well the different rooms have taken care of him. He always looks forward to his days at preschool and loves talking about the staff and his friends. Couldn’t think of a better place for him to be. I fully trust the manager and her team with
him.

My child has been attending the nursery for over a year, and we are extremely happy with Rainbow. Our child loves going, and the staff are wonderful.
The staff are very friendly and accommodating and know all the children well.
I would definitely recommend Rainbow.

My daughter attended this nursery before going to school, and they went above and beyond. Staff are very professional and meet the care needs of my child. Her development came on leaps and bounds, with so many amazing opportunities within the nursery and wider area with trips and outings. The meals
are healthy, the nursery is clean and lots of learning opportunities with varied resources. I was updated each day on what my child ate, nappies/toileting and activities. Management is approachable and supportive. Rainbow is like a home from home!

My granddaughter absolutely loves Rainbow Nursery.
We get regular updates regarding food/sleep activities etc, and photos via the app.
The staff across the whole nursery are not only exceptionally trained, but they show genuine care and love for each and every child.
My granddaughter loves the
staff, as they do her ... it feels like we leaving her with family. We have every confidence when leaving her in their hands for the day.
They have a variety of meals with a balanced and nutritious menu, all cooked on-site. All are shown each day via the app.
Every member of staff is warm, friendly, positive and encouraging. Nothing is too much trouble.
The children partake in many different activities each day inside and outside and we have seen our granddaughter's confidence grow immensely, as well as her social skills.
The staff are super friendly and great communicators, with safety being paramount; they engage extremely well with both the parents and children.
Highly recommended.

I was nervous about sending my little boy to nursery, but the staff at Rainbow Day Nursery went above and beyond to help him settle in. He has been there for around a year now and you can see how much he has developed, how his confidence has grown, and how much he loves the practitioners and all the
activities they do together. I would definitely recommend Rainbow Day Nursery to other parents.

Rainbow has provided a caring and nurturing environment for our child. The staff are caring professionals who look at the needs of the individual child. There is great communication between the nursery and parents, and they offer a supportive environment for families.
The nursery is a welcome and
inviting space for children, and the activities are stimulating and varied.

Very welcoming nursery. Staff really care about my child; they have a great relationship with him and enjoy my little one's character. Very on board with his dietary needs. Feel reassured when working and they are caring for my child.

This nursery is fantastic! My little boy has been going here for 3 years and only having to come away due to a house move. From the activities with the children to how friendly and welcoming all of the staff are and the amount of updates you get it really is a great place to send your child. Whether
it’s one of the cooks or the manager of the nursery there really is no job too much for any of them. The team put so much effort into ensuring your child is happy and busy that all my boy talks about is how he can’t wait to go back the next day. If we could afford to continue doing the 40 mile round trip to this nursery every day I would do as no other nursery I feel will ever live up to this one. Keep doing what you're doing because there is nothing I would change. This place has transformed my little boys character and we are so sad to be having to leave.

We have put three children through this nursery, our children adored their time here and the staff. We cannot fault this nursery, we would (and have done previously) highly recommend Rainbow Day Nursery, Lymm.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We are lucky to have chosen such a wonderful nursery for our daughter who is in the baby room. She loves her nursery, her friends and her carers. You can see it in her face when we go pick her up that she’s had a fabulous, fun-filled day! Her confidence, her newfound chatter, her walking/running etc
- many of her skills were helped by the nursery. My daughter is exposed to all types of creative sessions, world celebrations, weekly football lessons and interesting visits eg zoo, which are well thought out and safely planned.


The carers listen to the parents and help where they can. They are very attentive and caring. I get a summary of my daughter’s day when I pick her up where they would share any funny stories, new developments or any issues. The communication is excellent.


The nursery has plenty of rooms, space, good parking and a safe and pleasant ”family-feel” environment which is why we chose this nursery.

We are looking forward to a few more years there.

All of our children have gone to Rainbow Day Nursery and each of them has been extremely happy there. The staff are fantastic; they make every child feel special and teach the right values in a very inclusive and supportive environment. Our children have always been very content to be dropped off at
nursery every morning and as a parent, I have never worried about leaving them as it is such a welcoming, safe and clean place. The resources that the nursery has available and the range of activities that children can take part in on a daily basis is brilliant: from sports to painting to construction to reading, phonics and maths - they are so diverse. Communication with parents is also very good. I would have no hesitation in recommending Rainbow Day Nursery to other parents.

I would not hesitate to recommend Rainbow as an outstanding Early Years childcare provider. It is a lovely family run business, with fantastic staff. Our 3-year-old twins currently attend and they really love going. My eldest daughter who is now in school also enjoyed attending and was sad to leave.
The staff are super attentive, kind and caring, providing great learning and development opportunities and activities for our children. Rainbow has been incredibly flexible providing last-minute childcare arrangements (when grandparents have not been able to help) for which we are hugely grateful. The nursery regularly sends updates about our children's development via the Tapestry App which is really special to see when we are in work, and they also provide extras such as Diddikicks football, cooking activities, visits from the local Fire Brigade etc for the children, as well as seasonable celebrations for the children and parents which are greatly appreciated.

My youngest has just started school and so after 6 very happy and fun filled years, my working day no longer starts with a drop off at Rainbow Day Nursery. Both my kids loved it at Rainbow and happily bounced into nursery each day to make numerous arts and crafts creations, play, read, dance and sing
with their friends. The staff are loving and caring and work was made a little bit easier, safe in the knowledge that both my children were in the best nursery environment and were happy and excited to be there.

A sad day for us leaving this fantastic nursery and off to school. Rainbow Day Nursery has taken great care of our son for 2 amazing years. He had a great time, ran into nursery every morning with excitement and was extremely happy there. The staff are exceptionally caring and attentive, the nursery
itself is well organised, clean, and with lots of space, especially outside. We truly feel that Rainbow Day Nursery has set our son up for success in his next steps. Many thanks for all your hard work and dedication.

Current Review Score: 8.4 (8.430)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.4 (8.430) out of 10 for Rainbow Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 3 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.5 out of 5 from 3 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 4.972 for Rainbow Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (35 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 36 Ratings = 4.972
  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 3.458 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Rainbow Day Nursery is based on 3 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 = 3.25
    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 72 number of registered child places is 14.4. 3 Positive Reviews ÷ 14.4 = 0.208
  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.
