I have two children who attend or have attended Rainbow Nursery, and I cannot fault the care they receive. The staff are amazing, and both the indoor and outdoor facilities are second to none. My eldest started when she was around three years old. She was very shy, but her confidence grew so much during her time there, which really prepared her for starting reception. My youngest started at one year old, and she is now the most confident, happy child. Both of my children have learnt so much at Rainbow Nursery. There is a structured curriculum, and the activities always combine play and learning in creative, engaging ways. Every time I pick them up, they are happy and smiling. I used to ask my eldest, "What was your best part of the day?" and she would always answer, "Everything!"

Everything about Rainbow is wonderful, from the beautiful grounds to the amazing staff. Everyone is caring, nurturing, and fun to be around. My girls love it there, and I know they are well looked after.

Everything about our experience with Rainbow has been above our expectations - the staff are extremely attentive and caring, professional and clearly love their jobs. It's a privilege to have my child attend!

Our son is in babies with his key carer Sammy who is so lovely and attentive! She and the rest of the team in babies are so caring and made me feel so at ease leaving our son for the first time as I know he's under the best care!

The staff are all engaging and friendly. Our son loves going to nursery in the mornings. He enjoys the food and all the activities. The outside space is fantastic and well maintained. He is making great progress with his learning and independence as he approaches school age.

I have my middle child in Discoverers with keycarer Lauren, she has been a star with him. I know the 2 years old phase is hard-work so I appreciate her patience with his progress. Three steps forwards and two steps back, but Lauren is always on his side and believe in him! My oldest goes to Voyagers and he loves his keycarer Maddy! So do we! He is developing so many math and writing skills every week, he loves it and the encouragement is fantastic by Maddy. My boy cannot wait to start school in September, and Rainbow will make him more than ready for that. Both my boys love it and my baby boy will start in April! On top of the fantastic staff, their facilities are fantastic, not least their garden, animals, gardening and forest school! Thank you!

We love this nursery so much, we know that our child is well looked after and gets to spend lots of time in nature and with animals as well as socialising with other children. Rainbow are professional , caring and we know that they are supporting our daughters learning and development .

My 13 year old attended Rainbow Nursery, and now my three year old goes there too. It is, without doubt, the best nursery in the Surrey area. The setting is on a large estate with plenty of outdoor space for the children to explore. There's even a small farm with a variety of animals, which the kids absolutely love. The staff are exceptional; caring, attentive, and genuinely committed to each child's development. For convenience, we briefly moved our daughter to a standard nursery, and unfortunately it set her back a little. Rainbow Nursery have helped reverse most of that, and she's now thriving and loving every moment. I would recommend with zero hesitation. Infact, I often do.

Our daughter attended Rainbows from 9months old and she is only leaving due to us moving out of the area. We have had a wonderful experience at Rainbows from Babies Room up to Discovers. She skips off out of my arms everyday, the carers are very devoted and have great connections with the children. I particularly like that the children spend a lot of time outside and there are many different areas to explore. The meals are varied and my daughter will often eat meals at nursery she won't even try at home. We are very sad to be leaving Rainbows, we had our names down before our daughter was even born because we'd had such good recommendations from friends.

Choosing this nursery for my son was without doubt the best decision I could have made for his early years. From the very beginning, the warmth and professionalism of the staff gave me total confidence. Every teacher and carer in each class has been exceptional - patient, attentive, and always willing to go the extra mile to support the children's needs and development. The facilities here are outstanding, far beyond what I expected. Everything is designed with the children's well-being and growth in mind, from safe and engaging play areas to stimulating learning spaces. It is clear that a huge amount of thought has gone into creating an environment where children can thrive, feel secure, and enjoy coming in each day. What has impressed me most is the way this nursery has helped to mould my son's personality and character. He has become more confident, independent, and curious, with a genuine love for learning and exploring.

My daughter has recently finished at Rainbows and I highly recommend this nursery to anyone who has an opportunity to go. My daughter absolutely flourished at Rainbows, especially her year in Voyagers 1. The Nursery Team are all amazing. The grounds are fantastic there are so many things for the kids to do all day, the staff try to keep the kids outside as much as possible. There is a farm, tree climbing lessons, forest school, allotments, a maze, telly tubby hills, a bus for yoga; it is endless. The fees are no doubt higher than other places but it is definitely worth the money. On every drop off and pick up you are greeted with big smiles from real people. We will all miss Rainbows very much!

What a wonderful nursery. Our little one has just 'graduated' after spending three years at Rainbow. The facilities are fantastic, they have so much outdoor space to play, learn and develop and the animals are the icing on the cake! Every week our little one would come home and demonstrate something new he's learnt or understood from the excellent structured learning they offer at Rainbow. He's leaving Rainbow fully ready for school in September and we're eternally grateful for the wonderful team in the Voyagers 1 room along with all the staff we've interacted with over the years. Stop searching for nurseries, this is the one you should be applying for.

A dream of a nursery with huge grounds and animals for the children to see and learn about. Both my daughters have gone here starting from 2019 and most of the staff have been wonderful. They listen to feedback and made sweeping changes. Our vegetarian daughter was given a lot of processed meat substitute's early on and when we raised this they were quick to change the menus to more whole foods. Highly recommend this Nursery.

Rainbow is an incredible nursery full of amazing, energetic and caring staff. My daughter has developed so well here and is happy every day she comes in. They follow the curriculum well for EYFS but also have amazing grounds, a farm and forest school. My daughter loves animals as we have a dog at home but also I'm sure this love has developed from visiting the farm.

I cannot speak more highly of the experience we have had and continue to have with Rainbow. The staff are friendly, professional, and really skilled in supporting young children make progress. The facilities are excellent and there is a clear plan for improvements which is exciting. Their commitment to the outdoors and the process of learning aligns so well with our family's ethos. We wouldn't choose anywhere else!

Parents evening was managed so well and the staff, all of them were so welcoming. This is not just for parents evening but in general, always greeted with a smile and always willing to help. Thank you

My daughter has been attending Rainbow for nearly a year now and she absolutely loves it. The staff and facilities are amazing! There is so much outdoor space and she loves playing on the big red bus.

I have been so impressed with my experience at Rainbow so far. The staff have been amazing at helping my little one in all ways and I can see the day to day development of which the carers have assisted in. They are all great with the kids and create such a welcoming trusting environment The space the nursery is situated in is also brilliant. I love the grounds and the animals there which provide great experiences It has also been great around how accommodating the management have been in making sure the kids have the best experience possible, for example making sure kids in friendship groups stay together as they transition up classes

Both of my children go to Rainbow, and we've been really happy with the experience. My eldest is moving on to school in September, and they've really helped her feel ready and excited for the next step. The outdoor space is fantastic-so much room for them to run around and explore-and the food options are great too. The staff are always friendly and genuinely care about the kids. We feel lucky to have found such a warm and supportive place!

Such a wonderful nursery and environment for children. The carers are all so welcoming and friendly. The outside space is amazing with the animals and the range of activities. The weekly emails are great to know what to expect and to see what the children are learning that week. The choice of food is really varied. Overall really positive experience and would definitely recommend.
