Staff is very attentive and professional while keeping a welcoming, easy going, and friendly attitude. They have basically become a second family to my son and it's heartwarming to see him rushing there almost every morning with a smile on his face.
We also receive daily reports on the activities he
participates to throughout the day (sleep times, food, etc.). More detailed observations are sent at regular cadence with pictures, highlights, and a useful, color coded breakdown of his developmental journey. The staff is also always happy to provide more details or receive feedback on demand.
The nursery also organizes open activities that have been very useful to connect with other families.
The nursery also has an outside area that is unmatched in almost all the neighborhood, as it's large-enough to host a number of outside activities involving scooters, sandpits, waterplay, a firepit, etc. Kids get to enjoy every drop of sunlight the day has to offer.
Couldn't recommend it more.

A friendly, caring nursery with excellent staff and facilities. There are many different activities on offer from singing, regular puppet shows, cooking and they have a great space - both indoor and outdoor, including a soft play area.

A wonderful nursery with kind and caring staff who engage with the children in a variety of tasks - from outdoor play, sensory experiences, nature, reading, soft play and more - they also have chickens on site!
The setting is beautiful with gardens and indoor and outdoor play. It's immaculately kept
and well-run.
The children have a clear plan for the day without being too prescriptive. It's all about exposure to different experiences whilst having fun and encouraging the children to grow their independence in a safe and nurturing environment.

Current Review Score: 8.8 (8.848)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.8 (8.848) out of 10 for Rainbow Nursery 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 4 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.9 out of 5 from 4 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 4.917 for Rainbow Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (44 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 48 Ratings = 4.917

  • 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 3.931 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Rainbow Nursery is based on 4 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 = 3.375

    • 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 36 number of registered child places is 7.2. 4 Positive Reviews ÷ 7.2 = 0.556

  • 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.
