A Home Away From Home

Since opening its doors in 2021, our Douglasdale branch has become a trusted home away from home for families seeking exceptional early childhood education in a warm, nurturing environment. Designed with children in mind, our beautiful campus offers spacious outdoor gardens, age-appropriate playgrounds, and thoughtfully prepared classrooms where every child is encouraged to learn, grow, and thrive.

Small Classes, Big Opportunities

At Douglasdale, we believe every child deserves individual attention. Our intentionally small class sizes allow our teachers to truly know each child, understand their unique personality, and tailor learning experiences to support their development. This personalised approach helps children build confidence, form meaningful relationships, and develop a genuine love for learning.

Experienced, Passionate Educators

Our greatest strength is our team. With many years of combined experience in early childhood education, our teachers are passionate about creating a safe, engaging, and stimulating environment where children feel loved, supported, and inspired every day. Guided by the CAPS and NELDA curriculum, we combine structured learning with play-based experiences that nurture children’s emotional, social, physical, and cognitive development.

Growing Through Play

Learning at Douglasdale happens through exploration, creativity, and discovery. From sensory play and music to art, baking, outdoor adventures, and themed learning experiences, every day is filled with opportunities for children to develop essential life skills while having fun. Our natural playgrounds, bike track, and spacious outdoor areas encourage active play, curiosity, and confidence.

More Than A Nursery School

Rainbow Babies & Kids Douglasdale is more than just a place for children to spend the day. It’s a caring community where families become part of our Rainbow family. We are committed to providing a safe, loving environment where every child is valued, celebrated, and given the best possible start to their educational journey.

What our parents have to say

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. The teachers are caring and genuinely motivated to give the little ones new and exciting experiences often. 100% would recommend the school.

Christine, Michelle the principal at Rainbow Kids Douglasdale and our daughter's teacher Lebo have embodied the spirit of Ubuntu. This school is inclusive, collaboratie and attentive to our child's every need - physically and emotionally. Cannot recommend this school enough!

— Patience Maupa, Parent

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.

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!
