“I just wanted to take a moment to thank you and all of the wonderful staff at Rainbow for the care you provide Ivy and Leo.
Over the past year Ivy has flourished under the care of the amazing carers in the Pippi room. She adores coming to daycare, it is one of her happy and safe places. She has made many friends, particularly over the past few months and we are delighted with how happy and content she is in the environment.
I would also like to give thanks to the carers in the Possum room for the kindness and support they have provided to Leo.
Finally, I would like to thank your staff for being an endless wealth of knowledge and support for us throughout the year.“

“Our family have had a relationship with Rainbow for nearly 3 years with both our daughters attending the Long Day Care service.
It was an easy decision for us to send our girls to Rainbow – we were drawn to the great outdoor space, the higher than required educator to children ratio, and the number of educators who are qualified early childhood teachers.
It is also a true not-for-profit Childcare Centre with a focus on investing in the children’s education program and service.
We have always found the educators responsive and approachable and to truly care about the children. They work very hard to make the program enjoyable and engaging for the children on a daily basis.
Our eldest daughter has just completed the preschool program and is very confident and well prepared for her transition to Kindergarten. She will greatly miss her Rainbow friends and teachers.
We would highly recommend Rainbow Children’s Centre to other parents.“
