Rainbow Corner Loseley Fields is one of three well-respected nurseries, having provided friendly and professional childcare services for almost three decades. The facility is ideal for the care and learning goals of three months to eight years of age, registered for 120 places.

The school is divided into three care groups according to age, following a free flow 'learning through play' curriculum, that allows children to have access to their own garden spaces.

Each group has a room leader who oversees the running of the group and each child has a Key Worker who has overall responsibility for that child’s learning and development.

The children progress through these groups during their time at the setting, developing the various skills, attitudes and levels of maturity until they embark on preschool activities in the Butterfly group during their final years.

Each group is an established ‘free flow’ environment, allowing and encouraging children to make their own choices and decisions, using their imaginations. Children’s developmental progress is monitored and any gaps identified, children’s individual interests are adapted and developed to encourage and support them in achieving their next steps of learning through focus weeks.

When young children select their own play experiences they:

- Concentrate on their interests, allowing for enjoyment and safety.
- Make choices and decisions about what they are going to do, how and where they are going to do it and who they will work with, building on their confidence and independence.
- Practice and apply what they know and start to explore new possibilities, learning new ways to do things.
- Incubate new thoughts as they form ideas and try them out in a relaxed and unpressurised way, then return to them and think them over, testing their own ideas and developing their learning through trial and error.

My child has been coming to Rainbow Corner Nursery since August 2024, and we can see that her confidence and social skills have grown so much. The staff are incredible, always friendly, kind and caring. I love the app they use to communicate - it is so lovely to see real time updates and pictures of
our daughter having so much fun. We can't thank you enough for all the love and care they give to our daughter. Thank you so much!

My son started Rainbow Corner when it opened and we have been amazed ever since! The staff appear dedicated and enthusiastic which gives me the reassurance needed as a parent.
My son is always coming home telling me about the wonderful activities he's been doing each day!
The nursery manager and
her team are doing an amazing job creating such an enabling environment for my child as well as many others!

Review from Felicity H (Mother of Child) published on 1 November 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My daughter seems very happy at Rainbow Corner. She is excited to meet the staff in the morning, enjoys the food and the outside space is brilliant. They seem to do new and challenging things every week and manage her behaviour well.
I would suggest the outside parent area could be tidied up and refreshed
as it is all very tired and dirty with litter in the bushes etc. Outside light would be useful now we're coming into winter.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Rainbow Corner has been a fantastic choice for my toddler! The staff are incredibly kind and understanding, always making us feel welcomed and supported. The premises are wonderful, offering a bright and cheerful environment that my child loves. The food they provide seems delicious, and they even go
the extra mile by washing my toddler's dirty laundry before sending it home. Their communication with parents is excellent, keeping us informed and involved. I highly recommend Rainbow Corner to any parent looking for a nurturing and caring nursery!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My child settled in incredibly quickly to Rainbow Corner thanks to the brilliant and attentive staff. The facilities both indoors and outdoors are great; the outdoor areas are particularly fantastic with lots of space to play, explore and run around. The indoor areas are enriching and so exciting my
child didn't know what to do with herself during her first stay-and-play session! My child has formed a close bond with the nursery team very quickly and they provide frequent updates on the nursery app throughout the day.

Rainbow Corner is a great nursery! My son loves going and is always happy going in. The staff are so lovely and welcoming. The rooms are decorated nicely and the gardens are very spacious. I am kept well up to date on the parent app with meals, nappies, sleep and photos.

Current Review Score: 8.8 (8.825)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.8 (8.825) out of 10 for Rainbow Corner Loseley Fields is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.0 out of 5 from 7 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 4.833 for Rainbow Corner Loseley Fields is calculated as follows: ( (71 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 84 Ratings = 4.833
  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 3.992 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Rainbow Corner Loseley Fields is based on 7 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 = 3.7
    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 120 number of registered child places is 24. 7 Positive Reviews ÷ 24 = 0.292
  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.
