Welcome to Rainbow Nursery

About Us

Childcare First is a registered charity and operates on a not-for-profit basis. The company supports social inclusion and economic agendas of national and local governments. Our nursery is a purpose built facility and we are dedicated to providing high quality childcare and learning for all families attending the nursery.

 

Operating Hours

The nursery operates Monday to Friday from 8.00am to 6.00pm and is open 50 weeks of the years. Throughout the year the nursery closes over the festive period, for public holidays and five in-service days. We have three play rooms: Tiny Tots (0-2 years), Little Rascals (2-3 years) and Little Learners (3-5 years).

 

Learning

At Rainbow Nursery we place the child at the centre of the learning process and encourage children to learn new things and develop their skills from an early age. We do this by following children’s interests and allowing them to make their own decisions. We promote an ethos of everyone learning together and children are actively involved in planning and evaluating their journey through learning. We provide children with warm, welcoming learning environments that stimulate and support their learning and development. We pride ourselves on our superb outdoor environment which offers children an abundance of quality outdoor learning opportunities.

 

Meals

The nursery offers three meals a day including breakfast, lunch and an afternoon snack. Breakfast includes toast, bagels or crumpets, cereal and a selection of fresh fruit. At lunch time, children will enjoy a two course meal, including the two main meal options daily. Afternoon snack varies daily and is always served with a selection of fresh fruit. The nursery also offers a hot evening meal at an additional cost (£2.50).

​​

​Staffing

All staff have been recruited and appointed following a careful selection process in accordance with Care Inspectorate requirements. Staff are committed to continued professional development and dedicated to providing the very best quality of opportunities for children and families attending our nursery.

"You are clearly providing a safe and nurturing environment as my son gets excited to come to nursery and is happy going in. Compared to when he first started, you have really helped him settle in. Providing a range of different activities that support all developmental areas. The difference we have noticed in our sons language and communication skills, physical abilities and imagination since starting in the nursery is amazing!"
