I can not recommend little rainbows enough ! The nursery and all the team are simply amazing! Both my boys attend the nursery my eldest goes to the before and after school club at little rainbows and my youngest has been going for years and will be starting school this year so moving into the before and after school club. The team are more like a family than staff members. My boys absolutely love coming and I’ve never once had any problems or concerns. The team treat my boys like their own children. The nursery is full of love and great times. Before finding little rainbows my boys have attended other nursery’s and little rainbows is simply the best

Our little girl has just finished at Little Rainbows as we have moved area and we were so sad to say goodbye. Luna absolutely loved her time there and we were so impressed by all the care she has received- she has thrived! Special thanks to Emily and Ebony, her keyworkers, for helping Luna to settle in (and for all the cuddles!). It’s been a wonderful 1st experience of nursery for us all xxx

I highly recommend this nursery. Both our sons attend here. Our eldest is leaving now and has been here since he was 3. Staff and management are great. Our son has come on so much since he started. Thank you Jo, Simon and the team for everything you've done to help Tommy come out of his shell and getting him ready for school.

This nursery is very welcoming, all the staff are very polite they all make sure that they have a good partnership with parents. They are very understanding with different children’s needs and will take into consideration what parents say and how to deal with them as individuals.
