About Us
Celebrating
50 years
in business!
Rainbow Pre-School was established in 1974, originally located in the Bull Croft Park where it operated for 46 years. In March 2020 Rainbow relocated to Millington Road in Wallingford. This is a newly re-furbished and modern setting attached to a Care Home called Westgate House. Currently Rainbow Pre-School is only the second setting attached to a Care Home in the UK. A great deal of research has been made regarding how beneficial this type of partnership is and something that other settings are hoping to achieve.
Our team of staff are very experienced, committed and dedicated to supporting children and their families. It is important to us that your child is happy, secure and makes good progress in their time at Rainbow. We have strong links with the local community, including the local Schools and the Family Centre. We work closely with other Early Years practitioners, Health Visitors, Social Workers and Advisors from Oxfordshire Early Years Team. We have built a good relationship with these professionals and are well respected by them.
Our most recent Ofsted inspection, in which we were graded as Good, was carried out in June 2022. You can look at the report, in more detail, on the Ofsted Report website: www.ofsted.gov.uk
explore new possibilities
We offer a variety of activities and experiences that foster creativity, curiosity and confidence in our learners. Our qualified and caring staff are committed to supporting each child’s individual needs and interests, while promoting their social and emotional development. At Rainbow, we celebrate diversity and respect every child’s unique identity and potential.
