My son attended Rainbow House for almost three years and I am so happy that I found it - as soon as I first looked around, I knew I wanted to sign him up straight away. Jo and the rest of the Rainbow House team are so welcoming and friendly, and it’s the perfect home from home setting. My son joined when he was almost a year old and interacting with children of different ages has been a massive advantage to his development - it has helped with his social, numeracy and literacy skills and he is now reading books that are aimed at children a couple of years older than he is. Jo is so dedicated to helping the children learn and every week they have a topic with related activities at the setting – some of these are current events such as Children In Need/Black History Month/Roald Dahl day, and others include learning about Space/Family/Road Safety. There are also fun themed days for the children to enjoy including fancy dress days and parties. In addition, Jo shares learning materials to help and encourage the children at home, and regularly shares updates and pictures of what they’ve been up to throughout the day. The individual care my son received really was outstanding and he always enjoyed telling me everything he’d been up to. We have just moved a couple of hours away so sadly he’s recently had to stop attending (although I joked with Jo that she should move with us!) We really miss her! I highly recommend Rainbow House – the bar has been set high and none of the other settings I visited came close.
