If every child leaves Rainbow with a smile,
we have achieved success.
At Rainbow Day Nursery School we aim to provide an environment which allows children to become absorbed in their own play, with the assistance of a safe, child-centred and stimulating environment, that meets each child’s needs as an individual…….. ‘a home away from home’.
Furthermore emotional security is fundamental in enabling babies and young children to grow and develop and here at Rainbow Day Nursery our aim is for all children to benefit from our committed and experienced practitioners, who aim to provide a happy, relaxed and safe environment. Therefore, allowing you as a parent to feel happy in the knowledge that your child’s needs and best interest are being met.
Rainbow Day Nursery recognises that parents are children’s first most important and enduring educators and we therefore seek to work in partnership with you through creating a two way exchange of information, knowledge and understanding.
Our Ethos
Relationships
Strong, positive relationships are the foundation of all learning. We prioritise secure attachments between children, staff, and families to support emotional wellbeing and development.
Achievement
Every child is recognised as a capable learner. We celebrate progress, effort, and individual milestones to build confidence and a sense of accomplishment.
Imagination
Creativity and imaginative thinking are central to learning. Children are encouraged to explore ideas, express themselves, and engage in open-ended play.
Nature
We foster a connection with the natural world, supporting curiosity, care for the environment, and outdoor learning experiences.
Belonging
Every child and family is valued. We create an inclusive environment where children feel safe, respected, and part of a community.

Why Do I Need to Wash My Hands?
"Did you wash your hands?"
How many times did you hear that today?
Probably a lot.
But why are adults so hung up on hand washing?
Why are they so in love with lather?
Washing your hands is the best way to stop germs from spreading. Think about all of the things that you touched today — from the telephone to the toilet. Maybe you blew your nose in a tissue and then went outside to dig around the dirt.
Whatever you did today, you came into contact with germs. It’s easy for a germ on your hand to end up in your mouth. Think about how many foods you eat with your hands.
You can’t wear rubber gloves all day long, but you can wash your hands so those germs don’t get a chance to make you or someone else sick.
So when are the best times to wash your hands?
- when your hands are dirty
- before eating or touching food (like if you’re helping cook or bake, for example)
- after using the bathroom
- after blowing your nose or coughing
- after touching pets or other animals
- after playing outside
- before and after visiting a sick relative or friend
Now you have the when and the why of hand washing. But did you know that a lot of people don’t know how to get their paws perfectly clean?
