Entrance to the nursery, preschool and kids club is monitored by Rainbow staff. Under no circumstances will we release a child to anyone unknown to the staff unless arrangements have been made with you in advance.
Our safety measures meet the standards required by Ofsted. These include the safe design of the premises, safe toys and equipment, hygienic food preparation, and the thorough vetting and selection of all our staff.
We conduct written risk assessments and all our electrical equipment is PAT tested.
Every effort will be made to safeguard your child while at nursery; Our staff include qualified first aiders. We ask you not to send your child to nursery when they are infectious or very poorly; We do have a realistic understanding of the needs or working parents and will avoid asking you to collect your child during nursery hours, unless necessary.
The nursery follows the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum which identifies stages of development within three primary areas and four specific areas. Prime areas are - Person, Social and Emotional Development, Communication and Language and Physical Development. Specific areas – are Literacy, Mathematics, Understanding the World and Expressive Art and Design.
We keep a learning journey file for each child detailing their time at nursery and recording their development. This contains many photos of wow moments, artistic creations and photos of activities. We ask parents/carers to contribute photos from home or holidays or family celebrations. This learning journey is yours to keep when your child leaves Rainbow Corner.
At the day nursery we have two holiday options for parents:
Option 1 allows parents to take 3 weeks holiday at any time in the year without paying. The nursery is also closed between Christmas and New Year and no charge is made. Parents are not charged for Bank Holidays.
Option 2 allows parents to have all school holidays off at a reduced rate of one third of their weekly bill. Holidays taken during term time would have to be paid for at the full rate.
At the kids club we do charge parents for all absences during term time as the children have all the school holidays when there is no charge.
Attendance at the holiday club is on an ad hoc basis, parents who already hold an account with us will be billed as normal, parents whose children only come in the holidays will be asked to pay in advance. 48 hours notice is required to cancel a booking.
All information you give us about your child will be kept strictly confidential. We have an effective Data Protection Policy and issue all stakeholders with a privacy notice.
Rainbow Corner Day Nursery promotes equal opportunities for all.
We have a comprehensive set of policies which is available for all parents/carers to read.
Rainbow Corner was started by Rosemary Hubbard, sister to the present owner, as a small childcare facility run from home. The popularity of the setting forced Rosemary to look for larger premises outside the home so that she could expand and provide care for more families.
The Kids Club was started in 2004 answering the call to continue caring for children after they had started school.
