November 9, 2020 at 12:00 amLovely nursery and set up, staff are brilliant, amazing activities.
I love all the photos I get of her playing and having fun.
My girl has loved nursery and all of the food (she’s not fussy!) and loves exploring everything they have to offer there. It’s a new nursery in the chain and she went to a previous Rainbow Nursery and loved that too, very happy with it all! Well done everyone.

November 9, 2020 at 12:00 amI can’t recommend West Wickham Rainbow Day Nursery enough. From beginning at settling in days to now with my daughter attending 3 days a week the communication has been excellent, keeping me updated on what she’s been up to each day. My daughter started as a nervous child but has come on leaps and bounds since being there, I can see a huge improvement. They have a large variety of things to keep them busy and entertained.

November 9, 2020 at 12:00 amWe were very apprehensive at first about finding the right nursery to suit our child’s individual needs and personality. So far we have found the team welcoming, professional and attentive to all children. There is a fantastic range of freshly prepared meals on offer along with a very creative variety of learning and play. We have felt so warmly welcomed and it is a breath of fresh air knowing our daughter loves to visit every day. Thank you Rainbows!

November 10, 2020 at 12:00 amMy daughter started at this nursery a month ago. She absolutely loves it! Rainbow Nursery is caring, nurturing and fun! My daughter goes in exciting and happy and comes out smiling. The staff are lovely and friendly, the nursery is so clean, the food is fantastic to the point where my daughter asks for seconds and she has a small appetite!
I would highly recommend this nursery, I’m so glad I found them.

November 10, 2020 at 12:00 amRainbow Day Nursery West Wickham is brilliant. My husband and I have been so impressed with the care and kindness the nursery has shown our child. The communication is fabulous, I always have multiple updates throughout the day and beautiful photos at the end of the day. The staff create a magical learning environment where my child has gone from strength to strength. We can’t thank or recommend West Wickham Nursery enough.

November 11, 2020 at 12:00 amOur daughter was 11 months when she started nursery. The open days and settling in days were amazing. Considering she has had a sheltered year and hasn’t seen too many people on a regular basis, this was an amazing way to help her adjust. All the staff have been fantastic and reassured us along the way.
Every week we are updated by the ParentZone app with new creative activities. Making bath bombs, finger painting and so on. Some weeks are themed with festivities such as fireworks night! The food is healthy and tasty. Again they update us on the app about food etc.
The care is very individual for each baby and she has created strong bonds with the team.
Evey one has been fantastic. Thanks team!!

November 12, 2020 at 12:00 amI cannot be happier with Rainbow Day Nursery West Wickham. My little boy (2) has been attending for two weeks and absolutely loves it.
We had a rather unpleasant experience at another nursery, so I was quite nervous. But from day one, my son has been enjoying his time there and making new friends. We had no tears. None.
The staff are wonderful and very supportive. I love all the natural toys and objects and imaginative activities they put together for the children. I especially love the outdoor space and curiosity approach and how confident my son seems within the setting.
I’m absolutely thrilled that my son is happy and I highly recommend Rainbow Day Nursery.

November 17, 2020 at 12:00 amMy son, who is now 17-months-old and started at Rainbow Day Nursery a month ago in mid-October 2020. We needed a place for my son at incredibly short notice, and the nursery manager was incredibly accommodating at organising a visit and the settling in sessions. She was very efficient at all the admin, and the induction process went very smoothly. The staff are very friendly, welcoming and caring. They always greet us with a big smile and my son is very excited to go to nursery in the mornings! He always comes home happy after a day filled with fun activities. The amount, regularity and variety of food he gets at the nursery are amazing! I am never worried that he hadn’t eaten enough. The nursery uses and app, through which, we get updates throughout the day to tell us when he had a nappy change, what and how much he ate and drank and what activities he’d done. They also send lots of photos, which is invaluable as future memories. Will definitely recommend to others!

March 16, 2021 at 12:00 amWe couldn’t have chosen a better nursery and location for our daughter. My daughter has been attending since January 2021. Her motor skills and confidence has developed rapidly since joining Rainbow Day Nursery West Wickham. I feel relaxed leaving my daughter at nursery because I feel reassured that she is going to be well looked after and have a lot of fun. I always pick her up happy. Great facilities, space, location and approachable staff.

March 22, 2021 at 12:00 amOur little boy joined the nursery at Christmas as we moved to the area. I was quite nervous as he he’d been in a nursery we loved previously and I didn’t know how he would transition, but I need not have worried. The staff at Rainbow Day Nursery West Wickham are amazing, they treat the children with so much love and care. Our little one runs into their arms in the morning and blows kisses to them when he has to say bye in the evening. It’s new so the facilities are great and they use the app to keep us updated throughout the day on everything he’s eaten, how he’s slept and a few pictures and summary of the days activities. He’s 18 months and his words have come on so much since he joined and he’s super happy. I’d definitely recommend.

March 22, 2021 at 12:00 amWe have been delighted with Rainbow Day Nursery West Wickham. Our daughter is very clingy, being a lockdown baby but Rainbow Day Nursery West Wickham has settled her in so well. She goes in and comes out smiling. It is such a friendly yet professional nursery. We receive regular updates throughout the day of what she has been doing at nursery, such as meals, sleeping, eating and playing and it’s so lovely and reassuring to receive this, with plenty of photos too! The games and activities run by the team are varied and stimulating and we can see from the photos how much our daughter enjoys being there.

March 3, 2022 at 12:00 amI cannot fault this nursery. My daughter (2) doesn’t look back when I drop her off. The staff are very caring, friendly and professional. Management and staff keep you well informed via an app and emails and chats at pick up. The prices are fair. Great spaces indoors and outdoors. They have a well rounded healthy menu and a large variety of interactive activities inside and outside. Also very secure with intercom gated entrance and key fobbed doors.

March 3, 2022 at 12:00 amSuch a fabulous nursery! Finding a nursery in lockdown was a huge challenge. It was hard to decide on Rainbow Day Nursery West Wickham because it had only just opened but meeting the Manager and Assistant Manager gave me such comfort. They genuinely cared and were very reassuring. They have accommodated pretty much all of our requests with regards to food (would love more organic foods if possible) and even got the children involved in making oat milk! So impressed by the toys and drive to use natural resources as much as possible! The variety of activities is brilliant and our daughter speaks (and sings!) really well because of her interactions with the fantastic staff. The daily updates are great and feedback at the end of the day is very personal. Currently doing an incredible job trying to get her to potty train and have been very supportive with that process. Covid has presented huge challenges for everyone and Rainbow Day Nursery West have dealt with it brilliantly. Our little one is well loved and cared for. Thank you!

March 4, 2022 at 12:00 amMy son started at Rainbow Day Nursery West Wickham in July 2021, he was a Covid baby who had barely been with anyone else and the settling in period was great. The staff are all so warm and helpful and really look after my son well. He struts into nursery sometimes not even looking back at me because he loves it so much. The food is great, the care is at a very high standard and always happy to adapt the care where necessary. I highly recommend Rainbow Day Nursery West Wickham and that is coming from an anxious mum who has very high standards when it comes to nursery care! Thank you Rainbows

March 21, 2022 at 12:00 amThis is the 3rd year for our child. The nursery continues to provide a great support and learning framework for our child. The management team are positive and accommodating, they run an excellent nursery.
The staff genuinely care about the children, who I see are happy and smiley as they run out to their parents when I go to pick up my boy.
Cedars is particularly outstanding, however, elders have been the making of our child.
This nursery has a unique outdoor space where children can indulge their curiosity, learn and expand their social skills.
As a dad who has an energetic boy, I cannot recommend this nursery enough. I speak to the other dads who don’t have a bad word to say.

April 27, 2022 at 12:00 amMy daughter has been at rainbow now for six months and absolutely loves it. The staff are always so polite and friendly, and it gives me and my wife a huge amount of comfort to know she’s being looked after so well.
I can’t thank Rainbow enough for creating an atmosphere that the kids clearly enjoy but also learn a huge amount too.

April 27, 2022 at 12:00 amWe were let down by another nursery in lockdown and needed to find childcare at short notice due to my imminent return to work. We met with the Nursery Manager who provided lots of information about the nursery and accommodated my son now two at very short notice. The nursery has a real empathy toward children in its care and takes time to get to know them in order to bring out the best in them. My son is very happy and settled and has also developed his communication and fine motor skills since being at nursery. He loves going to nursery each day to see his friends and the staff. The days are well structured with lots of variety in activities with good secure outdoor space for children to explore nature and the nursery serves a balance of healthy and nutritious food with an on-site chef making fresh food daily. I really couldn’t fault Rainbow Day nursery and am very happy with the outstanding care provided to my son.

May 9, 2022 at 12:00 amMy son started at Rainbow day nursery just after lockdown so naturally, he was quite shy and reserved because of this the idea of nursery worried me. However, after his first day, the weeks flew by and I was pleasantly surprised about how he began to come out of his shell and was much more confident. All staff members are so friendly and engaging and really take interest in each and every child individually and it’s great to see the bond my son has built with them. My mind is always at ease knowing my son is well looked after by a great team who genuinely cares about him and his learning and development!

August 14, 2023 at 12:00 amOverall experience has been amazing for my daughter. She started rainbow day nursery in the summer 2021 so in the middle of the lockdowns and she was quite clingy and upset when dropping her off. The staff are so accommodating and reassuring, which put my mind at ease. Having the app that updates you on the day and seeing photos throughout the day helped a lot. Now she walks in happy and absolutely loves going. She has learnt so much and her development has come along way. They have fun activities and a great learning programme. She has made some lovely friends and always talks about her key workers. I’m very happy and glad she has a space here.

August 14, 2023 at 12:00 amRainbow Day Nursery West Wickham are incredibly friendly and our little boy settled in straight away. He’s now been there for 6 months and all the staff (either in his room or others) greet him with a smile each morning and he smiles back. He loves eating all kinds of fun foods they serve up and playing great games that all come from their weekly curriculum. The staff keep us updated via app and phone of everything that we need to know and are always happy to accommodate eg. switching from breastmilk to formula to cow milk. Would highly recommend as a great nursery.
