Our Story.

Rainbows Day Nursery was born from a shared dream between mother and daughter duo, Diane Pilsbury-Gaunt and Emily Pilsbury-Gaunt. With a passion for nurturing children and a deep commitment to community, we opened the doors to Rainbows in September 2024 — and are now proudly celebrating one year of joyful learning, growth, and connection.

Located on Diss Business Park, Rainbows Day Nursery offers all-year-round childcare for children aged 6 weeks to 5 years. The nursery was thoughtfully designed to meet the needs of local families, with three age-specific classrooms, outdoor gardens, on-site catering, and dedicated parking — all part of a carefully refurbished space that now welcomes up to 100 children.

Diane brings over 25 years of experience in early years education, having worked in schools and outstanding-rated nurseries, as well as in neonatal care supporting families both in hospital and the wider community. Emily’s background in business and finance made it the perfect partnership — combining expertise, heart, and vision to create something truly special.

Together, we saw a gap in the local market and knew we had to act. The response from families has been overwhelming, confirming the need for a nurturing, high-quality setting where children feel safe, inspired, and celebrated.

We are so proud to offer this much-needed facility to the community. Our nursery team has been carefully selected to feel like an extended family, with the children’s happiness at the heart of everything we do.

At Rainbows, we believe that quality childcare is a powerful investment — one that shapes futures, supports families, and builds confident, curious learners. Our story is just beginning, and we’re so excited to continue growing with the wonderful families who make Rainbows shine.

Our investment is significant, but we believe the value of quality childcare is especially important and we’re committed to ensuring we can deliver that in our nursery.
