Overall Experience

Excellent nursery with very experienced staff.
I have had both my boys go to the same nursery, one now in reception but the youngest still there.
My son loves it in the morning when I drop him off and enjoys the lovely cuddles. The teaching and support for developmental skills is exceptional and

I have noticed a great difference in my child.
Any concerns raised are dealt with properly and in a professional manner.
Amazing team, am very happy to get on with my day at work knowing that my child is well looked after.

Overall Experience

My son is 2 years old and has been attending Rainbow Day Nursery since he was 14 months. He always seems so happy there! All of the staff is very loving, caring and supportive. I always found the key workers to be very welcoming, communicative and supportive. They do lots of different activities to

improve children’s learning and development and ensure parents are involved too! Also it’s lovely to see all the pictures and videos of our children that they regularly send. I highly recommend Rainbow Day Nursery.

Overall Experience

My son has been attending the nursery for nearly a year and a half. He loves going to nursery and seeing his keyworker. All of the staff are friendly and they all know my son, even if they don't directly work with him.
My son is thriving at this nursery and I can't recommend it enough to my colleagues.

Whilst I am working I know my son is being well cared for and having a great time at nursery.

Overall Experience

Honestly, I couldn’t ask for a better nursery and staff to provide me with childcare. The nursery is clean and the staff are great. This nursery caters to all my child's needs i.e. milk-free meals and early morning drop-offs and evening pick-ups. She always has something new to tell me or show me something

she’s learnt that day. They use a very useful app which I use to keep up to date with any news or event happening in the nursery or general activities my child has been up to throughout her day. My child really enjoys being at the nursery and will be sad to leave for school in September.

Understanding, caring and normal. Amazing communication and honest approach. I am very satisfied. We have tried different nurseries before. My 2 children attended for 3 years. Early opening and availability throughout the year, including half terms, is a fantastic option for working parents.

Overall Experience

My daughter has been at Rainbow since she was 18 months old. I worried about her socialisation and speech due to being born during Covid, but she has come on leaps and bounds since joining. I am so thankful to all of the staff and managers for how well they look after my daughter, and feel so happy

for her to go to nursery each day.

Overall Experience

I’ve had two children attend this nursery (one of which still attends). Both of my children have enjoyed attending this nursery. Any concerns they will contact you straight away. Equally, if my husband or myself have any concerns with regard to our children’s development or other issues, the staff were

able to help and advise. The staff are very approachable, kind and happy to keep our children in a friendly environment.

Overall Experience

All the staff are so helpful and kind. My children absolutely love going to nursery and have some really special bonds with some of the staff. They all are incredibly hardworking and patient. They always listen to anything you have to say and consider each child as an individual. Many times they have

helped me to exit my children from the building at the end of the day. The updates on the app are beautiful and communication is always excellent.

Overall Experience

My daughter has been attending Rainbow Day Nursery since she was a year old and will be starting reception in September. She loves attending and has lots of little friends, as well as lovely relationships with the staff. The girls in the nursery worked tirelessly through the pandemic and always ensured

the children were well cared for and safe. They do the best they can with the space within the building and encourage the children to play outside when possible. We will be sad when we don’t have to use the nursery any more but know the staff have made sure the children are as prepared as they can be for the transition to reception.

Overall Experience

Our son has been attending Rainbow Day Nursery since September 2022, attending full-time, and is absolutely loving it there. The administration aspect of Rainbow is brilliant - very friendly and easy to deal with - and the nursery nurses are amazing. He has bonded really well with his key worker and

his development has come along leaps and bounds in the time he has attended.

Overall Experience

My daughter joined the nursery in April 2022 and I have nothing to say but positives. My daughter has thrived in their setting and this nursery supported all of the hospital workers throughout the pandemic. When I was offered a new role in the hospital, the nursery accommodated a change in days and

hours to support this move. My daughter's confidence, amazing speech and happiness is all thanks to the enthusiastic and caring members of staff that work at the Hospital Nursery

The staff are all so lovely and keep us really up to date with our child’s progress. They clearly engage with the children really well as our little one comes home talking about them and looks forward to going back. The staff take the time to write really nice personalised messages and observations.

Overall Experience

The staff at Rainbow Day Nursery are amazing, they are also kind and caring. Both my kids have been going for a few years and have never been sad or happy to leave me. I know that they are well cared for and that the staff look after them well. On another note the nursery have been amazing through the

pandemic. As an NHS nursery they have strived to keep open to allow us to go to work and have tried their best to make everything run as normal as possible. The manager is always very helpful when I need to change my days due to shift changes which is very helpful. This flexibility is something that is really valuable when you work shift work.
