Absolutely fantastic nursery with amazing outstanding staff! I know my little girl is in good hands with great care and support when she is there. Thank you all at over the rainbow my little girl has come on leaps and bounds since joining

We're so grateful for Over the Rainbow nursery and the incredible support they've given our son. From day one, the team has been nurturing, professional, and truly invested in his development. They've created a warm, engaging environment that not only makes him excited to go in every day but has also helped him make real progress in reaching key developmental milestones. The staff tailor activities to suit his individual needs and interests, and their regular updates and communication give us real confidence that he's thriving. His language skills, confidence, and social interactions have all come on leaps and bounds thanks to the care and dedication of the Over the Rainbow team. We honestly couldn't ask for a better start to his early years journey.

My daughter started at Over the Rainbow nursery in January 2025 when she turned 2 and she has settled in really well. The staff are all lovely and made us both feel welcome during her taster sessions, it was a great atmosphere. They do a lot of activities with the children and I can see the change in my daughter in only a few months of her being there, she has come on with her speaking and using cutlery better creating less mess during meal time. I highly recommend Over The Rainbow Nursery.

Amazing nursery, all the staff are friendly and great communication. My older son attended pre school and he was completely ready to start school. My daughter was a little anxious at first but all staff made her feel at ease and comfortable and she talks about attending nursery all the time and gets excited on her nursery days

All the staff at OTR are amazing with my little boy, they treat him like their own, he has attended since 7months old and is now almost 2. The skills he has learned and confidence he has grown is a credit to all the staff. He loves all the different activities they have planned for him each day, giving him the opportunity to grow and develop each day in a safe, loving environment.

Over the Rainbow is a wonderful nursery, our daughter loves it, the staff are brilliant and caring. Communication is great and the care provided to the children is second to none. I wouldn't send my daughter anywhere else.

Cannot recommend over the rainbow enough my son is so happy there and has been since he was 12 months old. The staff are great with him and us the app is very informative and great photos send weekly. They run extra curricular activities that really help the children learn skills. Such a great environment

Couldn't recommend this nursery more. My daughter started in the baby room around a month ago and it honestly feels like they have known her forever. I have been instantly reassured, they have picked up so quickly on all of her little traits, and I couldn't be more confident in the level of care that she is receiving whilst at OTR. Being a teacher myself, I have been really impressed by the activities that are planned to engage the little ones every session. My daughter has already come home being able to do new things from what she has learned during her days at nursery. I really feel that at this nursery each child gets the amount of attention they need and deserve, whereas other nurseries I visited this wasn't always the case. They have learned who my daughter is as an individual and her individual needs, which has honestly helped to reassure me even further. Couldn't recommend OTR more, we love it!

Our son has been going to OTR for almost a year and he has settled in so well. He absolutely loves it. The girls are always so lovely and you can see that they all genuinely love being there and what they do. We honestly find it so reassuring to know that our son is being very well cared for whilst having the time of his life. We always look forward to seeing the photos of what he has been up to and how much fun he has! We 1000% recommend OTR!

I was so nervous with our LO attending nursery I almost felt like I was a bad parent for going back to work but the manager and all the baby nursery staff gave lots of support and encouragement and I'm so happy with how our LO is developing - communication skills have grown, staff have helped with developmental milestones and the communication from the ladies in the baby room has been so reassuring. They have activities every day for our LO and the excitement when we arrive in the morning is lovely to see. I can't thank Over the rainbow enough! If you're thinking of your LO attending OTR nursery, I would highly recommend. If you want your LO cared for like you would, you want them to learn and develop with other children and if you have any doubts read other reviews they speak volumes.

My son loves it here the setting has really helped him progress ready to move on to school. The staff members are all lovely and always willing to help. The nursery has lots of different activities for the children to do and is very organised and well maintained

Absolutely fantastic nursery. All of the staff at the nursery really care about the children and you can tell with the atmosphere of the nursery that they are looked after as if the kids are their own. I love that the app is kept up to date and regularly filled out with communications home so we can see her progress, it definitely makes the transition from maternity leave back to work and having her in nursery a lot easier! At the beginning my daughter was quite overwhelmed and got a bit upset for the first couple of weeks, and the staff took to their own initiative to take her up into the office for some 'away' time to settle and have 1-1 being calm. This helped her no end and I was very touched to know that they read the situation and dealt with the emotions she was feeling so well. I have every faith in this nursery and all of its staff. We love our daughter being here &would definitely recommend it!

I'm so so happy I chose this nursery. It wasn't the closest to me but it was the one that gave me the best feeling. My son (and myself admittedly) suffers from such bad separation anxiety but my little boy has settled right in much quicker than I expected and has finally settled into a proper bedtime routine thanks to the routine he's formed in nursery. He's come on leaps and bounds and loves the girls in the preschool room so much. I never ever would have thought he would be the sort of child to ask to go to nursery but he does which is obviously a testament to how well looked after the children are when in the girl's care. I can't recommend enough.

My son has been at Over the Rainbow for around 11 months, during this time he has come on leaps and bounds. He has built really positive relationships with the staff at nursery who you can tell genuinely care about his well-being and development. The team go above and beyond in meeting his needs, I feel really confident leaving him and being kept in the loop as to how he's getting on at nursery. I don't hesitate to recommend this nursery to my friends looking for childcare, thank you to everybody at Over the Rainbow!

The staff at OTR are amazing! They provide a warm, nurturing environment with a fantastic range of activities to stimulate children's learning and development. Our daughter has come on leaps and bounds and it's all thanks to the OTR team. The staff are kind, and caring and treat children as if they are family. They have an app for parents which they update daily regarding their child's routine that day such as meals, toileting, activities they have taken part in, and notices/advice. I would highly recommend this nursery to other parents.

Amazing nursery with kind, energetic, and thoughtful staff who always use the interests of the kids to direct the learning as well as ensure they are developing into rounded individuals with the knowledge and skills they need. My daughter has been there since 11 months old and is now in pre-school and we have no complaints. We now travel quite a distance every morning as we don't live in the area but didn't want to take her from the safe and secure environment here, where we trust the staff completely. It's so worth it! They go above and beyond with activities such as themed days, gym, dance, swimming, and even trips to local parks and care homes. They provide stay-and-play sessions as well as parent's evenings. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

Our daughter has attended the nursery for nearly 2 years and absolutely loves it. The staff are caring, attentive, and welcoming, we know she is in great hands. Love the fact we're able to keep track of what she's up to, eaten, and slept via the app. Highly recommended, the nursery has good facilities and always has lots going on to keep them entertained and developing.

An absolutely fantastic nursery! My daughter started in the baby room at 8 months old and is currently in the toddler room and thriving. The staff are amazing and they always look after her so well. Our wishes are always listened to and accommodated (especially in the baby room when giving expressed breast milk!). She goes into nursery each day excited about the many different topics and activities they do! She has grown and developed so much and nursery has certainly played their part in making her the outgoing, confident girl she is becoming today. I highly recommend OTR Nursery and wouldn't want my daughter anywhere else!
