About Rainbow House
The idea of a children's café was brought to us at Wesley Memorial in 1984, and after some discussion, we opened Rainbow House on 1 May 1985.
Rainbow House Description
The project is run by a paid coordinator who organises a team of volunteers to prepare and serve snacks and lunches at a good price. Anyone with a small child (up to age 5) is welcome to drop in, meet friends, let children play, and buy refreshments. All are welcome between 10. 30 and 2. 00 every Wednesday, Thursday and Friday during school term-time. We have plenty of space for the toys, book corner and climbing frame, and facilities for changing babies. We have story-time on Thursday, and Sing-along on Friday. We welcome mums who want to breast-feed, and we are happy to provide child-size portions of any item on the menu that can be down-sized!
The project is very popular - we have received many compliments, and grateful comments, gifts, and help from volunteers and parents /carers.
Volunteering for Rainbow House
We cannot run Rainbow House without a reliable band of about 30 volunteers. We welcome people of all ages, abilities and walks of life. We pride ourselves on being flexible.
Contact our Co-ordinator, in term-time Monday-Friday, via
the Church Office, Tel: 01865 243216 OR
email rainbowhouseox@gmail.com --
or just drop in when Rainbow House is open.
You need no previous experience, just two references to support your request. We look forward to seeing you. Thank you for thinking of volunteering for us!

Firing on all cylinders this week. Welcome to summer. If you find it busy, give us a hand! (Photo by Pixabay.com)
Good week despite shortened menu! Keep watch for next week's staffing situation ;-)
Dear Customers — We are back in action this week, so don't forget to drop in!
Happy Easter dear customers, and we'll see you from 24th APRIL!
Quiet last week! Not often we see a car parked. Join us this week for fun and friendship. And snacks. (Sales help to keep the Project running, so we ask you to buy!) New Year Volunteer helpers are also very welcome. 😉
OPEN as usual from Wednesday 9th — our kitchen now ready for action!
All age worship for Christmas Day will be fun tomorrow at 10.30! All welcome!
Survived the week in spite of builders, reduced kitchen space, freak power and water cut on Friday, and indifferent weather! Big thank you to Christine, and to our great customers. One more week to go, then Christmas holiday!
THANKS to our very understanding customers for coping with today's disrupted service!
More news on the builders! We will operate from the other church kitchen for the first two weeks of December, with a reduced menu. We will be closed for Christmas from the week of December 17, until probably January 9. The Hall and toilets will be fully open. Tell your friends, and don't forget, we always need new helpers!
In December, the builders have to do some remedial work in the kitchen, which will affect Rainbow House. watch this space for news!
SAVE WASTE! Dear Customers, A lot of salad garnish has been thrown away recently, so we invite you to get the size of serving you would like, from our helpers at the table, to finish off your order! THANK YOU. 🙂 We are open again on the 31st!
All is going well at Rainbow House. We are on holiday during half-term week, but come and see us from October 29th!
Come & support Christine, our new co-ordinator, who started work this week. It's going really well but we could use some more helpers! Free lunch and lots of good company.
Seeing double!
Have you been a customer & now have a little time to help?
It's time to say goodbye to Bryony this week - The bringer of our very first 5-star hygiene rating. Thank you, Bryony, for almost 2 years of great leadership! 😊
