Childcare Provider Dartford
As a leading childcare provider in Dartford, we believe that working in partnership with parents/carers is paramount to supporting children’s well-being, learning and development. Our aim is to support you, as parents, and as your child’s first and foremost educators. We will involve you entirely in your child’s care & early education at Rainbow. We use an app to keep you up to date with everything your child is doing whilst in our care, from meal times & sleep to education and new experiences.

'Both of my children have felt loved, safe and have always had a smile going in and coming out.'
'The children make bonds, not just their key worker, but all the staff in nursery, it really is a family friendly environment.'
'The garden was a firm favourite place of both of my children, a huge outside area where they could run and burn energy.'
'The garden was a firm favourite place of both of my children, a huge outside area where they could run and burn energy.'
The activities and daily updates on the app keep us as parents reassured and provide us with photographs of the daily learning/activities. I would highly recommend this nursery.
My daughter had some complex health needs and needed a lot of supervision and support. The baby room staff made me feel comfortable leaving her in their care.
Staff are always available if I have any concerns or just needed a chat for support.
My daughter is now in Butterfly room (Toddlers) and the level of support has been astounding.
'That staff at Rainbow Day Nursery have been amazing from the moment my shy daughter joined them, they have coaxed her out of her shell, encouraged her chatty nature, learning and she absolutely loves going to nursery. If I had my time again I would reapply to this nursery without a shadow of a doubt.'

'All 3 of my children who have attended nursery since 2014, my youngest daughter has just graduated. I would highly recommend Rainbow for your little one having experienced the care given all the way through from 3 months old up to 11 years old. The facilities are great, with inside and outdoor playing and learning. All of the staff are very friendly and we'll miss seeing them all!'
'Both of our children have attended Rainbow Nursery. Our 4-year-old daughter left in the Summer of 2024 after being there for 3 years. She loved going to nursery every day and I believe that's because of the dedication of the lovely staff. The outside space they have is really rare in the local area and they use it multiple times in the day. The key workers update you regularly throughout the day on the app and you can call and speak to anyone at any time. They host lovely stay-and-play sessions throughout the year with different themes which as a family we all enjoy. They gave her a wonderful graduation. It really was so special and we will never forget it. Her time at Rainbow's has been wonderful, she has been safe, nurtured, and loved by you all (me included) and I can't quite believe it's over. Rainbow can be very proud of what a wonderful family nursery it is! They prepared her very well for school and we fully entrust them with the care of our youngest son now.'
'I truly believe there is no better place for my daughter than Rainbow Day Nursery. I feel that I leave S with family and I could not be more happy or impressed with every person there. I’m happy we found such a warm, loving and fun-filled nursery. A huge thank you for all your love, care, time and patience.'
‘Rainbow Day Nursery has tremendously helped with J’s development. The environment is child friendly and welcoming. The staff are exceptionally professional in their conduct and very caring towards J. The activities are adapted on an individual basis. Thank you for all your support.’
'My son has been at Rainbow from around 7 months until 4 years. Every room he has been in has been amazing. I can't fault the key people he has had or the entire team from reception to caretaker and cook. My son knows them all by name and has been so happy in their care.'
'I would highly recommend Rainbow Day Nursery. Not only am I happy with how they have looked after my son whilst I'm at work, but communication between the nursery and myself/husband has been brilliant. Daily messages as to what has been happening that day, what he has had to eat, photos and videos of fun activities he has done each day.
We make a point of sitting down each day with him and reading what he's done so he can tell us all about it and it's a highlight for him to be able to show us his friends and teachers.
It's such an exciting time for him to start school in September but we will miss everyone from Rainbow and I couldn't be more grateful to them for looking after our son. Highly recommend.'
'Our daughter has had a fantastic 3 years at Rainbow Day Nursery. She joined just after Covid and as all of the children born at this time, she had not been able to socialise much and experience much of the outside world so coming to nursery was a difficult challenge to face, but the whole team did such a brilliant job of helping these children settle in as quickly as possible and she has thrived ever since! She's really enjoyed going to nursery and always came out saying she had had a great day of fun! She's excited to start school in September and is more than ready to face the next challenge in her life thanks to the work and help from everyone at Rainbow Day Nursery. Thank you all and keep doing a great job!'
