Our Rainbow Room caters for children who are over the age of 2 years until under school age. Each child is allocated a keyworker, who works closely with the child and their family. The keyworker will be responsible for supporting the settling in process and planning for each child’s individual needs. They will also be responsible for completing their children’s My Day forms which we share with parents on a daily basis and children’s Learning Journeys where both parents and staff record their children’s learning.
