Our son has been at Rainbow House Nursery for over two years, and we couldn’t recommend it more. All of the staff are amazing, but in particular Chloe, Kerrie, Sharon, and Alison have gone above and beyond to make our child feel so comfortable and truly at home. We can’t thank Alison enough for all her support. Our son has thrived here, and the only reason he’s leaving is because we’re moving a long distance. Otherwise, our other child would definitely be joining too! Rainbow House will truly be missed. A wonderful nursery with an incredible team.

I couldn't think of a better place to send my daughter. She has been there since 9 months old and is now 4. I have never seen such a well run nursery with dedicated staff who care for each and every child with their whole heart like one of their own. My daughter was delayed in her language, the nursery identified this and referred her to speech and language. They provided support by setting up a personalised plan in nursery, which we work on at home as well. The staff were very dedicated to supporting my daughter's needs by providing one-to-one assistance for over a year. They worked on building her confidence and language. My daughter receives home cooked nutritional meals every day. Whenever she does not like or want a meal that is being offered, they always provide an alternative to ensure she is fed. They encourage being independent by teaching the children to prepare their own food, whether it be making sandwiches, pizzas or cupcakes. In kindergarten, they follow a curriculum in preparation for school. My daughter learns Spanish, music, sign language, craft making, sports, and much more. They explore the outside world on field trips to the library, local shops and nature parks. I cannot fault Rainbow House Nursery as they have gone above and beyond to help my daughter thrive. They are worth every penny!

My granddaughter has been attending Rainbow House Nursery for the last 3 years. Having raised 3 children who attended private nurseries, I can honestly say that this is an outstanding one. They pack so much in to each day, the children are always learning. They pride themselves on ensuring that each and every child meets their milestones, to which they do. Whenever I have confided in them about any concerns for my granddaughter's development, like an old mother hen! They would always reassure me with confidence, saying "she'll get there" and with their support, she has. Without a doubt I would recommend this nursery.

I absolutely adore this nursery, the staff are absolutely lovely and my little girl loves going here, we always get pictures sent of her playing and having a good time, they even have a music teacher that comes ♡ the food they get changes all the time and has so much variety, even the little snack at the end of the day, my little girl has been going for almost a year now and we have had no issues at all. Kerry and Mandy go above and beyond in the baby room, all the girls do ♡ Thank you rainbow house xxx
