This is our daughter's 3rd year at New Beginnings in Rainham and we are extremely happy.
The staff are amazing and genuinely cares for the wellbeing and development of children.
They do so many fantastic activities to help children develop both practically and emotionally.
And the past few months
they've helped massively with potty training.
The comments and tips we get at parents meetings are very useful for us as first-time parents.
Highly recommended!

My son is 19 months and has been attending New Beginnings Rainham since last summer. I was anxious at the beginning as he wasn’t used to being with other people and he also has a few allergies. From day 1 until now, he has never cried to go into the nursery, he feels completely comfortable and he looks
forward to going in with a smile every day. He absolutely loves it! The staff are amazing, safeguarding is key to them which was important to me, the provision inside is fantastic, the menu for the children is nutritious, they are thoughtful and I love that it’s a small nursery so it feels like a home away from home for the children. The staff communicate really effectively and they have really taken time and care to understand my child and his needs. Amazing nursery - would definitely recommend!

My four year old daughter has been attending New Beginnings in Rainham since she was 11months old. In that time she has learned so much and become a very independent little girl.
The nursery manager is very attentive with parents and children alike. She always has a smile when she opens the door and
keeps a close eye on the children’s well-being.
Also a special thanks to one of the nursery teachers who stands out in kindness and care for the children.
My daughter is very happy to go to this nursery and is always full of excitement to tell me about her daily activities and the things she has learned.

My 3 year old daughter has been attending New Beginnings Day Nursery since she was 9 months old, she has developed a great sense of community and has formed strong relationships with her friends and teachers. She loves sharing every aspect of her life, every event with them and it is wonderful to see
how much she has grown and how much she enjoys it. Well done to all the lovely and supportive staff!

Amazing childcare provider. My daughter is always happy to attend and has many friends here. My child's development in social and academic skills is above average and always picked up on by members of family and friends. The staff are helpful and friendly. We will be sad to say goodbye when she starts
school next year!

My daughter has been going to New Beginnings since she was 6 months old. She is now 19 months old and loves her day at the nursery. Every morning she looks forward to going in. As a parent, this is a huge relief, knowing that she is well looked after and having a great time. We are very pleased with
her development of motor skills and communication thanks to all the efforts put in by the staff.
We love that we get regular updates on the app and can see what activities she has been up to. The food diary is also very helpful!
I would highly recommend the nursery to any parent looking for childcare.
A big thank you to all the staff for always having a big smile on their faces and working so hard to keep these little people happy and safe.

I was so nervous when my son was starting nursery but the staff were all so lovely, warm, reassuring and friendly. They made both me and my little boy feel very comfortable and I felt like I could call as many times as I wanted to check in and ask any questions. We are always greeted with a big smile
at every drop-off and I am confident that my son is being well looked after.

New Beginnings in Rainham is a fantastic nursery. My child has been attending this nursery for two years now and he loves it and is very happy and settled there. He loves his teachers and friends and has made excellent progression. They have a great outside area and resources throughout the nursery.
My son is very well supported and cared for at all times and the support not only my son has had but I have been given throughout a difficult time has been amazing, the staff go above and beyond and are fantastic. I would highly recommend this nursery.

Really lovely, friendly service and care at Rainham. Everyone is so friendly and the level of care is outstanding. My daughter is loving transitioning into pre-school and has met lots of friends and we have had so much help and advice on potty training. My daughter has excelled in the couple of years
she has been at nursery and it's all down to the ladies that work here. Thank you New Beginnings.

I was so nervous about my 6-month-old baby starting nursery (as my other children started at 1 year old); but he's settled in so well and the team has been very supportive. I'm now much more comfortable on the days I leave him at nursery.

My son has been attending this nursery since just about over 1 year. He is enjoying his time thoroughly. He's 20 months now and has started to form 2-3 word sentences. The staff are very good, pay attention to detail and have been friendly and warm. I get daily updates about what is going on in terms
of food, activities etc. They have made birthdays also very special. My son loves going to nursery.

An outstanding nursery. My daughter is now in the Sunshine room (preschool). It's her 3rd year attending. She loves going to school and she has formed deep relationships with the staff and the kids. We feel the staff are part of our family. Always looking after the wellbeing of the children with care
and always give advice when we have any questions. I know my daughter is in safe hands every morning that I drop her off. I love the constant updates on what they do every day. The activities and the way they learn is amazing. My daughter can recognise numbers and letters and knows how to count in order. A big thank you to the manager and her team for the outstanding work.

Absolute exceptional care, my son joined New Beginnings Day Nursery Rainham in September 2022 at 23 months. Given he was a Covid born baby and he was spending a lot of time with the family I was apprehensive about how he would settle in and cope in a new environment.


It's now November 2022 and upon

arrival at the nursery in the mornings he's essentially ready to leap out the car. He settled in with such ease, he is incredibly advanced in my opinion, they were supportive in assisting him with phasing him off of his comforter and his speech has developed incredibly.


My son is able to recognise letters and colours at ease. Exceptional development, cannot recommend them enough, they keep us well informed and display genuine care for the children.

My daughter has been attending the nursery since September. The settling has been very easy for her and for me as well. All staff members are very lovely and caring. My daughter loves going to the nursery and enjoys taking part in all the activities they do. She has learned so much and I feel at ease
as the nursery always keeps me updated on her progress.

My twins attend the nursery and I cannot emphasise how much care and attention the staff have provided. They have been attending for the last 2 years and they are confident happy children. I feel no guilt leaving them there. The staff are like family and I really don’t know what I’ll do when the kids
start school next year! Cannot recommend enough!

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.295)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.295) out of 10 for New Beginnings Day Nursery Rainham is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 5 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.4 out of 5 from 5 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.933 for New Beginnings Day Nursery Rainham is calculated as follows: ( (56 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 60 Ratings = 4.933

  • b) 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 4.362 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for New Beginnings Day Nursery Rainham is based on 5 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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 = 3.5

    • ii) 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 29 number of registered child places is 5.8. 5 Positive Reviews ÷ 5.8 = 0.862

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
