Our offer

 

We understand what an arduous task it can be for parents to simply get their children ready and leave the house – particularly in the morning! In order to make it as easy as possible we are an all-inclusive setting, so generally all you will need to pack is a change of clothes and a pair of wellies. Our fees include meals, drinks, snacks, formula milk, nappies, creams, wipes and sun-cream. For funded places there may be additional fees for these items, so please speak to a member of staff.

Our setting is a stimulating and nurturing environment, which helps the children develop into confident and independent learners. Our garden includes a sand pit, various play equipment and a lovely sensory garden. We also grow vegetables every year and have a few different types of fruit trees, too.

Our team of Early Years practitioners are highly qualified and we always encourage self-development, but go much further than that; we put forward funds to train our team members and look out for qualities in people in order to help carve out roles for them.

We have been accredited as an excellent provider by Barnet Council as part of the Barnet Quality Assurance scheme.

Developing children as individuals

All children are unique and brilliant and we try to get the best out of each individual. All of our staff are trained in child development according to the EYFS (Early Years Foundation Stage), so your Rainbow Cubs are in good hands.

We carefully select our staff and aim to develop children to a super-high standard. It’s all down to having good people and keeping them happy, by offering good incentives and creating a good environment.

Our story

 

When Kim had her first child Andrew, she was looking for a suitable nursery. This would allow her to work and help contribute to the family, as most modern mothers do. Though her skill-set lied in areas elsewhere, Kim decided to work in a nursery to help get a better understanding of how they would look after her child.

She found there were some systemic issues, for example, low pay – which leads to a lack of motivation and dissatisfaction among the Early Years workforce in general. But there were also other concerns specific to that setting, such as poor maintenance of facilities, overall cleanliness and a lack of support from the management.

After this experience, she was adamant that something better could be achieved. So that day, little Andrew became our first ever Rainbow Cub.
