Rainbow Childcare & Preschool

Philosophy: The provider communicates his vision for children's progress and achievement clearly. He wants children to become purposeful, independent learners.

Activities: Toddlers operate remote-controlled cars and use a mechanical device that presses juice from citrus fruit.

Skills , Knowledge and Behavior: Children hear staff naming the items and gently commenting on their actions. This helps to promote children's early language and sense of security really well.

Communication: Parents like the open two-way communication, at the door and via the online app.

Welcoming and Professional Staff: Babies quietly adjust to the care of the friendly and attentive staff.

Safeguarding Training: The provider commissions training that updates and refreshes staff's knowledge of child protection. Staff know what to do if they suspect that a child is at risk of abuse or neglect.

Play and Learning Integration: The team create a busy, calm environment, where children continuously find new and familiar things to do.

Transition to Primary School: Staff and parents work together to prepare older toddlers for the move to the provider's pre-school setting.

Diversity Management: This enables children, including those who speak English as an additional language, to form correct sentences and extend their vocabulary.

Child Safety Management: Staff minimise risks to children's safety in the nursery. They know which children have allergies to particular foods and cater for them safely.

Children's Safety and Security: Children show that they feel welcome when they arrive at the nursery.

Teaching Personal Safety: Children know that when the icy wind makes their noses run, they must wipe them and put the tissues in the bin.

Happiness and Settling: Parents say that children come home with 'beaming smiles'.
