Founded in August 2006 by Indra, at Rainbow House, we offer more than childcare — we offer a foundation for life. Nestled in the heart of Belsize Park, our Ofsted-registered home-based pre-school is a place where young minds are nurtured to thrive, not just succeed.
We believe every child is a seed of potential — and our job is to nurture that growth with love,
structure, and respect. By promoting independence, kindness, curiosity, and self-expression, we aim to raise not just school-ready children — but set the foundations for world-ready humans.
We’re intentionally small — 16 children, 5 staff, including a Qualified Teacher. Our exceptionally low child-to-staff ratio means your child is truly known and seen.

We blend the warmth of a childminder’s home with the structure of a high-quality nursery. Children feel safe, emotionally secure, and happy to arrive each morning — as echoed in our parent testimonials and Ofsted feedback.

From treasure hunts and turnball games to sensory
play and planting beans after reading Jack and the
Beanstalk — our curriculum is hands-on, imaginative,
and global.
We expose children to languages, geography,
numeracy, and nature, fostering a lifelong love of
learning.

We don’t advertise — our growth is driven by word-of-mouth, sibling returns, and longstanding relationships.
As one parent put it: “We feel so lucky to have a place here.”
Our Belsize Park nursery stands out as one of only nine private nurseries in London to be accredited by the Living Wage Foundation, demonstrating our commitment to ethical and professional practices in childcare services. We prioritize investing in our team through ongoing, meaningful professional development, knowing that a well-supported and motivated staff is key to fostering confident, happy children at our Rainbow House preschool. According to Ofsted’s April 2025 report, our nursery is praised for its strong educational foundation, with children described as 'happy and settled,' and the staff commended for delivering a stimulating and engaging curriculum with a strong focus on communication and language. Parents are also highly satisfied with the quality of care and education their children receive, leading to our 'Good' rating across all areas.
