Rainbow Nursery

OUTSTANDING Nursery School, catering for full day and sessional care for 2-5 year olds.(See OFSTED report)

Set in the grounds of a working livery in a converted cart lodge with access to ducks, geese, goats and horses. We are in a superb rural setting in Saxtead, a small village on the outskirts of Framlingham.

We offer places for only 20 children per session, and our small, highly qualified team of staff offer an exceptionally warm, friendly and homely environment for our children and their families.

Our emphasis is on the unique individual child, and we work very hard to cater for their needs and interests. We also believe in the benefits of Outdoor learning, and try to access the outdoor learning environment as much as possible.

We also offer Summer Holiday Activities, and have just completed a successful Summer providing Activity days for Jimmy's Farm, where we have been asked to do some more days in October Half-Term!

I am an experienced Primary School Teacher, specialising in early Years. I am currently on the short term pathway to achieving the EYPS Status.

Having taken a short break and teaching part-time after the births of my 3 children (3,7 and 9) I was offered the chance to take over Rainbow Nursery (where my eldest 2 children were attending). It was such a wonderful setting with a very 'special' feel to it, that I felt I just had to take the opportunity, despite my youngest child being under 2..!

I have had to work hard to maintain the unique feel and ethos of the nursery, but also move it forward. I think we have managed that. Anyone who visits the nursery always comments on the calm, friendly and homely atmosphere. County advisors are also impressed with the way we are doing things, and I was asked to be a Key Practitioner, sharing my good practice with others.
