Our older son started at Rainbow Day Nursery at the Petts Wood branch when he was 9 months old. He is almost 4 years old now and to date the highlight of his week are the five days that he spends at the nursery.
The staff is warm, highly approachable and each of them make an effort to make a bond with
the kids and the parents. The manager is always available to answer any questions and very helpful in all respects.
The range of activities, the meals and the experiences the kids get are varied and thoroughly loved.
We have been so happy and satisfied with the nursery that we started our younger boy there at 7.5 months.
I highly appreciate all the love and care the nursery provides and highly recommend it to parents who are looking for a nurturing, safe and supportive environment for their little ones.

Our first child attended another branch and our second child goes to Rainbow Day Nursery Petts Wood. Both nurseries have been amazing throughout. In particular, the way they encourage the child to grow and learn and the methods and activities seem to be another level to other nurseries we have had contact
with. We could not be happier and we feel fortunate our child is learning and growing at Rainbow Petts Wood. Thank you to all staff at Rainbow. Five stars.

I am so completely happy with our choice of Rainbow Day Nursery Pett's Wood as our nursery. We have always felt the staff have gone the extra mile to get to know our children. They love their nursery days and come home happy - which is everything we could ask for.
We know they are stretched, challenged,
supported and thriving within the nursery environment. We couldn't recommend them enough.

Rainbow Day Nursery Petts Wood is a truly outstanding childcare service. I have a 4 year old who has been attending since he was 10 months old and another when she was only 6 months old. Their quality of service is second to none. Both of my children love their time there and after only a few days of
moving into a new room with new faces my one year old runs in smiling very excited to start her day with them. The staff have an incredible manner with the children providing an immensely warm, caring, fun and positive environment. The array of toys, books, activities and overall stimulation for the children is expansive and safe. Keeping parents updated is a priority for staff and each and every staff member is a joy to speak to. The girls really do all go above and beyond for the children and I feel very lucky to have a space for each of my children here. Thank you Rainbows.

My eldest was at Rainbow Day Nursery for four years (he's now in reception at school) and my youngest is currently in the Oval room. I honestly couldn't speak more highly about the nursery. My eldest loved every single minute and made some amazing friendships. He still would count his nursery friends
as some of his best friends and when they see each other in the car park (as they pick up their siblings) they are all so excited and greeted by the staff with warmth and kindness.
My youngest took a little longer to settle but now is thriving. He is dairy free and they cater to his allergies with care and diligence.
They've both been able to go on lots of trips- to feed horses, to Bromley on the bus, to the park to do a walk for the marathon, to the supermarket to buy fruit and veg.
As a parent I love the longer hours (we've always paid for the 7.30 drop) and the fact the staff all clearly care.
The only minor downside is the parking but that's because my driving is awful!

The staff at Rainbow Day Nursery have been amazing with our son, he has developed strong relationships at the nursery in particular with his key person. He is always happy when going in and the whole team from management to carers to chefs, always make an effort to vary the day for the children with
the activities and food, it is well deserved that they are consistently rated as Outstanding! Any parent with a child attending Rainbow can be assured that they are in the best of hands.

Two of our children attended Rainbow Day Nursery Petts Wood full-time over a period of four years to Aug 2024. We were very happy with the care our children received throughout this time and found the nursery offered a safe and caring environment. The staff were friendly and creative, keeping the children
engaged with lots of different themed activities. The garden provided a nice, safe outdoor space which was used throughout the year. Management were very friendly and always responsive to any queries or feedback. We're grateful to all at Rainbow Day Nursery for looking after our children and helping to prepare them for school.

My son started Rainbow Day Nursery in January this year and I have been very impressed with the staff and care my child receives. It puts my mind at ease knowing my son is in a wonderful environment with lots of enriching activities. There's great communication from the nursery and I love seeing the
live updates of what he has been up to each day. Thank you to the staff for all you do.

My daughter has been attending the nursery for seven months and the experience so far has been brilliant. The whole pillows team have been amazing, they really get to know and understand your child. We receive lots of feedback around what my child does each day and any new achievements. The staff also
work really hard to have a strong rapport with the parents. The food provided is excellent and made freshly on site. We feel very fortunate to have our daughter here and look forward to the years ahead. Thank you to the whole team, you are brilliant.

I can’t fault this wonderful nursery. Both my children have attended since they were 12 months old (they’re now 2 and 4) and they absolutely love it. The setting is always clean and tidy, the staff are incredible; so accommodating, friendly and wonderful with the children, and they’re brilliant with
the parents too - even inviting us in for events such as Mother’s and Father’s Day! My children continue to learn and thrive every day and we couldn’t be happier! Thank you for everything Rainbow!

Over the past 6 years, we’ve had both our children cared for by the team at Rainbow Day Nursery Petts Wood. Both children have thrived and formed incredible bonds with the staff. Great family feel, lovely safe and nurturing environment and they are always adding in new extracurriculars that the kids
love. From dance classes to music lessons to sports. Can’t rate it highly enough. Both kids started the day with a smile, ended it with a smile, and went into school ready and prepared for the new adventure. Can’t ask for more. Great experience.

My daughter attended for around 20 months from age 3 to leaving for school. We absolutely loved this nursery and so did our daughter. The staff are amazing. So caring and connected to our daughter. They really prepare them for school while also having fun with so many varied activities and things to
do and learn about. I love the app so you can see what she has been up to in the day and they post photos and updates on her. Really reassuring especially at the start. They have brilliant facilities, great homemade food and a fab garden. We also send our son there and he loves it too. Can’t fault it. Thank you Rainbows Day Nursery. Xx

My girls (now 6 and 4) have both attended Rainbow Day Nursery Petts Wood from 10 months old till they were school age. I can not thank the team at Rainbow Day Nursery enough for all the kindness and support they have shown my girls (and me) over the past 6 years. They work really hard to keep the children
safe and entertained. You can tell they really care about each child’s development. I feel a lot of the confidence that my girls have had going into primary school is down to the wonderful nursery team. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

My daughter has been going to Rainbow since she was nine months old and it's been five months. I feel so relaxed and happy sending her there. She always has a great time, has learnt so much and is so attached to her carers. The posts on the parent app are extremely helpful to track their day and seeing
their pictures makes my day. I can easily trust the people at Rainbow and I don't trust very easily, so needless to say I'm very impressed and extremely pleased that we got a spot at the nursery. The nursery staff are very cooperative and always there to make my child feel more welcome and loved each and every day. The outdoor garden space and child pick up/drop off area is well spaced. They celebrate so many days and festivals and do lots of craft, it's amazing!

We put our son into Rainbow day nursery back in January when he was ten months old. We had already read (and heard) the fantastic reviews of this nursery and it’s lived up to those expectations. He absolutely loves the nursery and has a lovely bond with the carers. We particularly like the app they
use with updates on nappy changes, meals, naps and photos/videos of what he’s been getting up to during the day. We feel so comfortable with him being there. When they bring him out to us at the end of the day he always has a great big smile on his face as do all the other children greeting their parents. They really do an amazing job.

My son has been going to Rainbow Day Nursery Petts Wood since November 2020. He is now in the Oval room and loves going every day. The team are very caring and constantly have new educational and fun activities for the children to do. There is a warm, welcoming atmosphere and the team have a great relationship
with the children. My husband and I are thrilled with the great care my son receives and would strongly recommend the nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.842)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.842) out of 10 for Rainbow Day Nursery Petts Wood 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 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 11 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 4.955 for Rainbow Day Nursery Petts Wood is calculated as follows: ( (126 Excellents x 5) + (6 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 132 Ratings = 4.955

  • 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 4.887 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Rainbow Day Nursery Petts Wood is based on 11 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 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • 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 62 number of registered child places is 12.4. 11 Positive Reviews ÷ 12.4 = 0.887

  • 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.
