The nursery and the staff are outstanding. The facilities are very good. The food is freshly cooked on-site every day. The staff are absolutely amazing and love what they are doing. My son loves going there every day and he has learnt so much! I cannot recommend highly enough. I have had 2 children
attend the nursery and would not go to another nursery.

Both of my children attended Rafles from 9 months old. The amazing ladies from the baby room right through to preschool and including the office staff have been nothing but supportive, caring and genuinely interested in my children’s growth and development.


The thought and care that goes into the

development of each child, for me, is second to none. They take a holistic approach to a child’s development and always provide different, interesting and fun learning activities every day, as well as lots of free play both inside and in their fantastic outside play area.


Rafles have helped me as a parent promote confident and happy children that are more than ready to feel secure and confident in the next stage of their learning journeys in a school environment.


My son leaves for school this month and I can’t help but feel sad that he will no longer be attending Rafles where he made great friends and had so much fun but I’m so grateful that he spent his early years here.

We have been using Rafles Nursery and Preschool since 2015. Our experience has been a very positive one. We would definitely and have recommended to others. Both our daughters have enjoyed their time here. We have never had an issue or problems. The ladies throughout the nursery are very approachable,
caring, professional and whom the children respond well to. The facilities and outside spaces are also very good. When we were looking for a nursery we were looking for a home from home environment and this is exactly what you get from the staff at Rafles. Rafles Nursery & Preschool do and have done a fabulous job in helping us bring up and teach our girls.

Both my 3-year-old son and 1-year-old daughter attend Rafles nursery.
The baby room is excellent at settling the little ones in with an excellent programme of visit sessions prior to starting and are so caring to the development and needs of the babies. The room is clean, modern and well equipped.
They do an excellent range of activities.
The preschool room again is excellent and they are fully involved in supporting and developing the children. They again have a large, light and well-equipped room and a lovely garden for the children to use. They focus well on the needs of individual children.
The app is an excellent tool used by the nursery for giving information about the children’s day to parents and is updated during each day.
All staff at the nursery are excellent. They are caring and attentive to the children’s needs and very professional.
I would wholeheartedly recommend this nursery unreservedly. Well done Rafles!

Rafles is a fantastic nursery set in beautiful surroundings.
I have 2 children attending Rafles and they are both very happy. The staff had made the transition period very easy and positive for both me and my children.
My children go into nursery very happy and it's great to see what they are up
to and what they eat via the Famly app.
Rafles do so many activities with the children and celebrate a variety of festivals and charity days and it's great to see all the staff participate.
All the staff are professional, friendly, approachable and amazing at their work.
My children are very happy there and come out of nursery full of smiles. I would definitely recommend this nursery to anyone who is looking for a professional, friendly placement for their children.

My daughter joined in July 2018. I viewed 6 full-time nurseries across the area of Cheshunt. Upon walking into Rafles nursery, I knew this would be where I wanted my daughter to attend. The layout of the nursery being open, bright and well organised.
The nursery staff and especially my daughter's
key carer went above and beyond to ensure my daughter settled as quickly as possible. I and other family members saw a substantial improvement in my daughter's use of numbers, colours and the grammar.
Being a full time working mum and my daughter being my only child, you can imagine she is my world and I don't often leave her anywhere without feeling guilty of missing the day to day things. That's why I absolutely champion the App. The staff are so good at posting updates and observations of my child that I feel I'm witnessing live in-the-moment and I also reap the benefit of being able to discuss with my daughter activities she's taken part in during the day.
Highly Recommend!!

My son started Rafles at 10 months old.
The nursery Room made the transition going back to work so much easier than I could have ever imagined. Every member of staff shows genuine interest and care not only in our little boy but also our whole family life too.
Rafles have the perfect balance between
getting the children to engage in activities and allowing them time to relax like they would do if they were at home. My child has progressed socially in the most amazing way since starting. I drop off and pick up a smiley boy who cannot wait to get out of the car each morning and see his extended family.
All staff are approachable, friendly and down to earth. Although there is a key worker system, I feel happy to speak with any member of staff and know they all have an understanding of my child's needs equally well.
I will be forever grateful for the care they have shown both my son and myself, at such an important stage in both our lives.

My eldest son has been attending Rafles since October 2017 and my youngest son since October 2018.
The boys love it there! I would definitely recommend this nursery. All the key workers are great with the children, the management and office staff are always very accommodating and very easily contactable.
All the staff are very friendly and know the children’s needs. My boys have learned so much since being there, their confidence and their learning skills have grown greatly. Excellent nursery with a great atmosphere and great staff. Excellent facilities and excellent level of care.

My son had attended Rafles nursery for 3 years. The team were very welcoming and I was kept informed at all times about my him. This made me feel very comfortable about leaving him and my son was always happy which reassured me.
He would be so excited about going to nursery, that he would even ask
about whether he was going when it was the weekend. I felt that my son was leaving home and going to another home. The team are tremendous, caring and always has the child’s best interest at heart. I highly recommend Rafles nursery to family and friends.

Both of my children have attended this nursery from 15 months to school age. I have had nothing but a positive experience and would highly recommend. Both of my children have come on leaps and bounds since their start at Raffles.

Since the moment I walked in into Rafles, I knew I have found the place for my daughter. I was not wrong. I couldn't have wished for a better place to leave my daughter while I was working. The staff are amazing, the children are always happy and smiling and it is super clean.
I will always be grateful
to Rafles for taking care of my daughter the way they have done it and for their contribution to her development, joyful character and many other things.
I guess you know your children are in good hands when you park the car to drop them at nursery and they can't stop smiling and that is how she felt every day.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.692)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.692) out of 10 for Rafles Nursery & Preschool - Cheshunt is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 12 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.986 for Rafles Nursery & Preschool - Cheshunt is calculated as follows: ( (142 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 144 Ratings = 4.986

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 4.706 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Rafles Nursery & Preschool - Cheshunt is based on 12 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 85 number of registered child places is 17. 12 Positive Reviews ÷ 17 = 0.706

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
