But beyond this, despite being a 'big nursery', it has the feel of a family run nursery. The staff know all the children and there is a real bond between the staff and children, they are so happy after a day here. They are kept busy doing amazing activities, trips and learning and have great food. The staff are honestly so caring and nothing is a problem to manage. They go out of their way to make you and your child feel looked after.

Our child absolutely loves his time at the nursery - he goes in with a smile and comes home happy, which says it all. We really appreciate the regular updates we receive throughout the day, as it helps us feel connected and reassured. Communication is excellent, and the staff are always happy to answer questions or chat about how he's doing.
Overall, we feel very lucky to have found such a wonderful nursery. It's clear that the team genuinely cares, and we can see how much our child is thriving in their care.

The manager sets the tone for everything-she not only runs the nursery brilliantly but also fosters a true partnership
From accommodating dietary requirements and even collaborating on menus, to offering support and understanding during a very difficult time when her father and I separated, the entire team has shown nothing but genuine care and compassion for our daughter. It is so clear that they know her, value her, and want the best for her.
As we prepare to move out of the area, one of the things I am most sad about is leaving this wonderful nursery. The staff have all said how much they will miss her-and I know they truly mean it, given the strong bonds she has

My name is Lisa Watson and I am the Nursery Manager here at Rainbow Nursery. My background has always been in Early Years, I went straight into college from leaving school to complete my Level 3 BTEC National Diploma in Early Years. After completing this I started my career working in a small day nursery.
I joined the Rainbow team in 2006, working as a nursery practitioner, after a couple of years I decided to go back into studying part time and completed my BA Hons Degree in Young Children’s Learning and Development and my Early Years Professional Status (EYPS). Since then I have been manager of the Baby Nursery, Deputy Manager of the nursery, and then took on the role of Nursery Manager in 2013.
As the manager at Rainbow Nursery my role alongside the managers of the Baby Nursery, Day Nursery, Preschool and Junior Club, is to ensure the smooth running of the nursery, ensuring our policies and procedures are implemented and the children receive the highest standard of care possible.
My vision for Rainbow Nursery is for it to be a home from home environment and an environment in which children can reach their full potential. Children learn best when they are comfortable. We encourage all of our practitioners to build strong bonds with the children, I also feel it is important that our management team do this as well. People often ask me how I remember every child’s name within the nursery….. this is because it is important to me that every child feels important and that they are treated as an individual.
I encourage open communication with parents/carers with both myself, the area managers and the practitioners. We love parents to engage with us in two way communication and use the industry leading Tapestry online learning journal to facilitate this. We don’t hold events such as ‘parents evenings’ at Rainbow as we will always make the time to talk to parents about their children at any time. Parent feedback is important to me, this is how we grow, how we know what we are doing right and how we know what we can improve on.
