My daughter has been at Rainbows since she was 9 months old, she absolutely loves it. All the staff are amazing, such lovely caring girls who really love their job. She thoroughly enjoyed her time in the baby room with the big girls and is currently enjoying her next stage in the toddler's room too.
I love that I can go to work knowing that my child is so well looked after.

The big girls are great and very dedicated, most have worked there a long time and have lots of experience. The activities are fab and they pay great attention to your child's needs and are very adaptable. They provide progress reports and also short updates after every session. They send a photo per
day on a messaging also. Highly recommend.

My first child started Rainbows in 2021 and went through all the rooms to graduate. My second started in 2023. I absolutely love all the girls working in Rainbows at every stage. They look after the children like their own and my kids love them too.

My daughter has attended Rainbows Day Nursery since she was 9 months old. The staff has been so good with her and she settled really fast. They go above and beyond to meet my child's needs. She is now 2 and has such a bond with everyone in the nursery she loves going and loves all the big girls. I couldn't
recommend a better nursery.

Absolutely couldn't recommend Rainbows enough. Three of my children attend here, each at a different age and all love it. The staff are fantastic, have a great relationship with the kids and with us as parents, and cannot do enough to make the kids feel comfortable and happy. A great range of activities
are offered, something to suit all kids & really brings on their development. The dinner choices are brilliant, with lots of variety & plenty of snacks throughout the staff. So reassuring to know our kids are in good hands.

All staff are amazing, my son has been going to Rainbows for years. Would not send him anywhere else.
He loves attending Rainbows after school and has never had any issues, they send me photos of him every day as they know I work long shifts, and it makes me content.

My son started at 9 months old and absolutely loves his time at Rainbows Day Nursery. I cannot think of a better bunch of girls to look after him! He doesn't even give me a second look when I drop him off because he is so excited to be there. I would highly recommend Rainbows Day Nursery.

I cannot recommend this nursery enough. The staff are absolutely amazing. The care, support and fun both my kids have had during their time there (4 years now) has been such a high standard. My son is happy to return during the school holidays even now he is older and looks forward to seeing the friendly
staff. Even if the odd time one of my children have been upset at drop off, they quickly come round and are given a little extra attention, and then the staff text me to let me know how they are doing to stop me worrying. This is the kind of extra detail this nursery offers.

Rainbows Day Nursery is an incredible nursey, my little girl jumps out of my arms in the morning when the girls open the door! My little girl comes home happy, well-fed and ready for a big snooze. The girls have definitely made it easier returning to work after maternity leave. Would highly recommend
Rainbows.

Current Review Score: 9.1 (9.114)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.1 (9.114) out of 10 for Rainbows Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.1 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:

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

    The Average Rating of 4.976 for Rainbows Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (82 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 84 Ratings = 4.976

  • 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 4.138 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Rainbows Day Nursery 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:

    • 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 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 3.7

    • 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 80 number of registered child places is 16. 7 Positive Reviews ÷ 16 = 0.438

  • 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.
