I have sent both my boys to rainbows nursery and they have always been amazing. Staff are brilliant with the children, always very well looked after with lots of different activities, always having a good time my little boy can't wait for his nursery days, he loves it. I will be sad when my youngest
leaves the setting this year to start school.

Really love the nursery & the quality of care & attention they give to my baby. My eldest was here for 4 years & the staff are just wonderful! Really grateful for the whole team there. Thanks so much!

My first child went to rainbow nursery 5 years ago and has special needs, they were so good with him and helped me massively with toilet training and sign language which he picked up really well, great SEND placement for children. Now my second child has been going there since September and it is
still an amazing nursery. Staff are lovely and easy to talk to, very clean and well maintained. Also great that they are open 51 weeks of the year, very happy with the care both of my children have experienced!
06 March 2026
From our very first visit right through to now, the experience has been nothing short of outstanding.
The team have been amazing in supporting my daughter through her settling-in period and throughout her time at nursery so far.
We had to delay her start date due to unforeseen circumstances, and
they were so understanding and supportive.
They are kind, caring, patient and attentive. Leaving my daughter in their care was a big step for me, but they made me feel completely comfortable and reassured I had chosen the best nursery.
Since starting, I have seen incredible development, she's learning, growing, and her personality is really shining through.
I honestly couldn't recommend them highly enough. We feel so lucky to be part of this nursery.

Rainbow nursery is the absolute best. My two boys love attending and sometimes even want to go on days off. The staff are lovely and my boys adore them. They can't stop talking about them and I feel like they love and cherish my boys just as I do.
The nursery really puts thought in to each and
every day, planning one activity after another to keep the kids entertained and learning. The boys have learnt so so much during their time there and continue to do so every day.

I am so happy with this nursery. My son is so happy to go in every day and has been going since he was 9 months old is now 21 months ths old. His development improved so much since going to nursery and the things he is bringing home is so impressive. He is so happy with the staff and it is lovely to
see. They know my son so well and he is treated with love and care like an individual.

The staff are wonderful and my child has a brilliant time there. I feel very confident leaving her in such capable and kind hands! They do plenty of varied activities and spend much time in the garden which I appreciate. The staff give a detailed handover at the end of the day and my child comes
home with many arts and crafts which she's very proud of. My youngest child will be joining in the summer and I'm looking forward to seeing her thrive in the setting.
06 March 2026
Like other parents, I was so nervous for my son to start nursery. I am beyond relieved we chose rainbows, I couldn't have asked for a better experience. He has absolutely thrived there. There has not been a day he hasn't had a huge smile on his face running through the door in the morning. I have
complete trust that all the staff go above and beyond for him on a daily basis. He will be transitioning to primary school in September and I know that rainbows will play a huge part in making that as smooth as possible (for parents too!) I can only hope he enjoys school as much as he enjoys his days at preschool.
Thank you to all the staff, you are absolutely incredible and we are very grateful we chose you to be such a big part of this chapter of our son's life.

My daughter has attended Rainbow Nursery since September 2024 and has come so far with all her development. Excellent staff who really do care for the children. My daughter loves attending 4 days a week and I have no concerns what so ever.

It was a daunting feeling sending our child to nursery just coming out of the COVID pandemic, and having to decide somewhat quickly when other arrangements with grandparents would not work. Our child also has a severe peanut allergy. Despite this, everyone at Rainbow have been amazing at putting our
minds at ease, especially the rigorousness of their allergy training / policy. Although we did not originally think we would be sending our child to nursery, we've come to realise how incredibly valuable the time spent at Rainbow has been for our child to develop, becoming the confident and caring person they are now, making friends along the way, and having tremendous amounts of fun.

My twins started their journey at Rainbows at 13 months old, and they're about to begin their transition to primary school. Rainbows has become a huge part of their early years life, and the girls are very sad to leave. The staff and management are so much more than that, treating each child like
their own. The bond between the staff and my twins is second to none, like many others there. Between the staff, children and parents, we are all a part of one family. I dread their last day coming up, as my girls are going to miss it so much. The nursery keep you informed daily, calling with any issues and always putting everyone's health & safety as priority. They strive to treat each child as an individual, offering solutions to maintain the best care and to help each child thrive. They don't treat you like a parent, but more so a team mate, working together. Their activities are endless, with a great choice of meals and snacks. I will always be glad I chose this setting to start their journey.

My child has been attending Rainbow and we couldn't be happier with the experience. The staff are warm, attentive, and always go above and beyond to make the children feel welcome and safe. Communication with parents is excellent, and it's clear how much effort they put into planning activities that
help the children learn and grow. Thank you all staff.

Rainbow day nursery is excellent, I couldn't have ask for better for my son. I was so nervous about my son starting nursery and rainbow have eased that with every way possible. They have been so supportive and their communication is top level. My son has extra needs and they have accommodated to
these needs excellently and I am more than happy with their service and they way they are with my son, he has excelled whilst being with rainbow and I am so happy to continue to see his journey with them. My son will continue with them until he goes to school. Brilliant nursery cannot recommend enough.
16 September 2024
My child started Rainbows when he was 16 months old and loved it from day one! The staff are lovely, helpful and really care for the children. I couldn't fault them. I have now signed up for my next baby to come as I know they will be in safe hands! Many thanks.

Our son has been attending this nursery since he was 10 months old, and it's been such an incredible journey. As he prepares to leave this month to start school, we can't help but reflect on how much he has grown during his time here. The staff are truly exceptional, always bringing out the best in
every child. Our son was very shy at first, but with their support, he has blossomed into a confident, outgoing boy. The relationships he has developed with both staff and his peers have been amazing to watch. His personality and sense of humour have truly flourished, and it's been a delight to see. We're so grateful for everything this nursery has done for him and will miss it dearly!

We are just coming to the end of our time with Rainbow Nursery, having had two children pass through from when they were 9-12 months up until they went to school. They have both had a brilliant time and have always been happy to go in and then, when they come home, tell us about the great things
they've done that day. The staff have been consistently amazing with a number of them having been with them the whole time. We have always felt that both boys have been brilliantly cared for by them. We have recommended this nursery to our friends and would have no issue doing that again.

It's a lovely nursery to care after children. My daughter is four years old and enjoys the nursery, which has new activities and toys every day. They also help and educate children about personal hygiene. Most importantly, the workers are friendly and will greet you with a real smile. Imagine your
child hugging the teacher the moment she sees them. There is nothing more to add. During the summer, they appropriately apply sunscreen and change their clothes if they get wet while playing in water. During the winter, keep the kids warm with a scarf, cap, and jacket. We can have peace of mind when we send our children off at the nursery and gladly wave goodbye. It's a really wonderful nursery to look after baby and toddler.
03 July 2024
Absolutely fantastic nursery. Always go above and beyond for you as a parent and the child. Friendly supportive and welcoming. Helped my daughter come as far as she is! Couldn't rate a better nursery! Travel 20 miles a day to get her there and back and is so worth it!
03 July 2024
My son has been going to Rainbow since he was 10 months. He's very happy there and I trust the team who are always communicative, friendly and thoughtful.
03 July 2024
Both my children have attended Rainbow. My son was nearly two and started in Buds and Blossoms through to school, and my daughter from 5.5 months. She's still there in Buds and Blossoms and will stay until she starts school. It's also worth mentioning that my sister and I also went to Rainbow, in
1988! As a family we only have good things to say about Rainbow. The connection with their key workers and the friends they have made will stay with us for a lifetime. It's still family-owned and has a lovely warm family feel. The setting is nurturing and both our children have developed very well. The key workers know the children inside out and I have no hesitation in recommending Rainbow.
