My little one is thriving at Rainbow 🌈, she loves going to school and is developing on leaps and bounds. It has a wonderfully peaceful atmosphere and is always full of laughter and happiness.

I cannot recommend Rainbow Babies and Kids Nursery School & Kindergarten highly enough. My nephew attended Rainbow, and as someone who is very involved in his life, I had the opportunity to visit the school on many occasions, including sports days, school plays, parents’ evenings and other school activities. I was always incredibly impressed by what I experienced. ...

— John Arvanitakis, Uncle

Absolutely the best school ever for my son! He has been attending Rainbow Babies since he was very young, and I couldn’t be happier with the care and education he has received. The teachers are amazing, dedicated, and genuinely committed to teaching the children. I’m amazed every day by how much my son knows and how much he has learned at such a young age. It’s clear that the teachers put a lot of effort into helping the children learn and grow. Keep up the excellent work, Rainbow Babies! 👏🏽 I would definitely recommend this school to any parent looking for a caring and quality learning environment for their child.

Our kids absolutely love going to rainbow kids! The teachers are all super kind and caring and management puts so much effort into the curriculum and providing fun, new and exciting activities for the little ones to discover and develop. The parents community is really lovely too. Couldn’t imagine a better place!

We love Rainbow Babies Douglasdale. Our little girl started going at 4 months old, she refused a bottle and I was beyond upset. A day before returning to work, after trying everything we dropped her at Rainbow, with her bottles, and went to a nearby café waiting for the call. We received a video of amazing nanny Flo feeding her with a bottle, then a photo of her fast asleep and happy. We didn't look back after that and she is now turning 3 and so happy there. The teachers are amazing, the playground is perfect and they have so many fun events and activities. Our little girl is thriving there. She was fully potty trained about 3 months after turning 2! We now only do a nappy at bedtime but Im sure if teacher Vero were at our house she would be fully trained. She counts, sings, paints and is always happy! Highly recommend this lovely school. It's small but has a lot to offer!
