Our little girl started at Rainbow Corner when she was 6 months old, and it's honestly been the perfect place for her. There's such a lovely atmosphere where the little ones can really be themselves, and the staff take such brilliantly good care of them and genuinely enjoy them. We love that we get to come for regular stay and plays to see how they're getting on, the app is really helpful at keeping us updated while she's there, and the office has always been so responsive to any questions we've had. So glad we found Rainbow Corner!

We love this nursery for our little boy. Caring, nurturing and they are always happy to see him, plus he loves going in. Regular focus weeks and good SEN support and resources. Can’t thank the team enough for all they do :)

Both my sons attend Rainbow Corner Nursery , my eldest started at 9 months and my youngest at 6 months. This nursery has been a second home for the boys and such a support to us as a family. The love , learning and experience they give has been brilliant. They share the same values as we do at home and the trust we have built over the years my sons have been at nursery has been fundamental in us being able to go to work knowing our children are in a happy and safe environment. I have two very happy boys that have had a lovely start in their education/ experience away from home and we will be forever grateful to Rainbow corner for this ❤️

The nursery presents itself as prioritizing children’s well-being, but unfortunately, my experience did not reflect this.My child’s place was cancelled just five days after the payment due date—even though I had informed them in advance that there would be a slight delay in payment for this month only.This was particularly disappointing, as my child had attended the nursery for over a year and we had never once missed a payment during that time.While the nursery itself provides good care, the decision to cancel his place so quickly gave the impression that financial considerations were placed above the child’s needs.At times, it felt more like a business than a childcare setting.Adding to the disappointment, the cancellation notice was addressed using the wrong name, which left me feeling that the nursery did not even take the care to correctly identify the child whose place they were withdrawing.

My eldest son will be starting school this September having started at Rainbow Corner at 9 months old. They have been monumental in his development and I cannot thank them enough for providing him with a safe, consistent, fun environment whilst we work. Highly recommend Rainbow Corner.

It’s not often I trust people with my girls due to their heart conditions, but I can honestly say this nursery is brilliant and I don’t even know where to begin in thanking you for what you do for my girls, all of the staff are kind and caring and make us feel welcome and that nothing is too big or small to ask. Thank you for looking after all the children and doing what you do! 😊

I could not recommend Rainbow Corner Nursery enough! both my children have come here and loved every second!! The setting is homely and educational and the staff go above and beyond! My daughter still talks about her time at nursery and remembers things she did there, and she is 10 now. My son still attends with SEN and the support I have had for him has been invaluable! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

Rainbow Corner has been an exceptional nursery for our daughter. The staff are fantastic, engaging with the kids, getting them involved in playtime and learning, and then giving good feedback at the end of the day. Regular focus weeks help identify where the kids are doing well and where they need help. Part of this helped identify that our daughter was having some overly emotional responses to setbacks, and we used this together to help her learn how to cope with these outbursts. We've been invited in for stay-and play several times, which is always a wonderful treat for all of us.

Our little girl has been in the baby room for almost four months now and she loves it. It makes us so happy to know she’s genuinely cared for by such lovely, knowledgable, skilled and kind staff. I trust them wholeheartedly with my daughter’s care and could not recommend them enough. The team seem to understand our daughter so well and they celebrate all her little quirks - which means the world to us. She comes home with all these new surprise skills and she is always excited to be dropped off there. They do an incredible job and I’m so glad we chose Rainbow corner for our girl, who is thriving with them.

both my girls attend rainbow corner, and i am so glad they do! My eldest joined at 18 months old old and was a shy lockdown toddler who had not interacted with other children before, she soon came out of her shell and is now a confident, clever little girl who loves nursery! my youngest joined at 9 months old, and has already progressed so much in herself too. Both my girls have complex heart issues, and nothing is too much for the team at rainbow corner to help them in any way they can. Look no further, this is the best nursery around! the team actually care about every single child in their setting. Thank you rainbow corner for all you do for Maddison & Ivy! 💜

Rainbow Corner is a lovely little nursery. I first sent my son there when we moved to Portsmouth in 2017. He settled in really well and they were great at helping me get to know the schools in the local area. Now I have my 3 year old daughter there and she has really blossomed, especially after being a lockdown baby. They really nurture the children's interests and we love that they have now started taking some of the children to visit a local care home. Which helps to develop their caring nature and show the children how to be part of the community from a young age.

Both my Grandchildren attend Rainbow Corner. The eldest is just leaving to attend 'big school'. She has really enjoyed her time here. She has thrived over the years in a safe and kind environment. Thank you to all the staff that have cared for her and continue to care and nurture her sibling. I would definitely recommend Rainbow Corner for your little one!

As a mum who reads reviews! I had to make a review of my experience to help other parents currently looking for a place .. My child started at 7 months nearly 8 but due to her being quiet young she got all the illnesses from the kids/ adults at the time. We understood this would be the case as this happens all the time with kids who recently start nursery but it was very frequent almost too frequent that her dad asked the nursery to look into their cleaning/hygiene- after this she stopped being sick as frequently. The nursery staff that actually work with the kids are great and welcoming and me and my child liked them! So it’s bittersweet writing this review .. But the manager and the admin staff not so much! As a first time mum they talked down to me many times but little do they know as a first time mum I’m also x10 as cautious and careful when it comes to my child so felt that the fact they did this was very cruel and actually made me cry twice! I know they don’t do this to all the parents there so can appreciate the fact that not everyone will have the the same experience as I did. Nursery is only 2 min walk away from our house and at that time wasn’t driving so this was very convenient for us so I wanted it to like this nursery. The nursery put us on the waiting list during the pandemic (which was fine) but when it was about to open I emailed them just to enquire ‘Please could you let us know how long the waiting list is or if it's easier to please let us know when we will find out if taliyah has a place’. This was sent 13 May and they said they would get back to us once they have sorted out numbers (today is June 10 - still no mention) ..fast forward numbers seem to have been sorted as other parents already know they are starting in July. I then get a call this week telling us to get the rest of my daughters stuff by the next day or they are getting thrown away!!!!!! THIS WAS MY LAST STRAW!!! Nothing about the waiting list or even being courteous enough to consider if I’m available to even pick it up the next day?! I emailed the general manager highlighting my frustration and she messaged saying I can collect it any day. But she failed to understand that her original message was loud and clear! despite participating in all the nursery events, providing cake to everyone there on my child’s birthday and how close the nursery is to us. How we have been treated is beyond hurtful and I can’t with good conscience send my child there again! Furthermore, positive Criticism that I would give to the nursery is staff retention is poor - me and her dad have seen various new members of staff over the 6 months she was there. Also, not enough BAME children in my daughters class (black and minority ethnicities) And lastly please understand us as parents just want a loving and safe place for our children while we are at work trying to better their futures the way you treat us is just as important as the way you treat our children !! P.s taliyahs key worker and the manager of her room were lovely and this is no reflection on them whatsoever because of YOU was the reason we didn’t leave any earlier <3
