Overall Experience

My daughter has been at RAFA Kidz Cosford for almost a month and I am incredibly impressed with everything so far. Admin communication has been helpful in regards to days requested. The staff are caring and passionate about child development. The safeguarding measures in place are reassuring for any

parent. On every collection so far my daughter has been happy and I've had an informative handover. They also use the app to update you on their and including a weekly update on activities they have done hitting all the criteria in the early years education.

Overall Experience

My son has recently started at RAFA Kidz Cosford. Such a smooth transition into nursery. From the registration, settling in sessions and to starting at nursery. The staff are extremely supportive and are very quick to respond. I have recently started work and have felt at ease leaving my baby at this

nursery. He has been there briefly and already he has matured very much, getting more confident with saying a few words and his play and interactions have improved.

Reply from Rachael Roden, Nursery Manager at RAFA Kidz Cosford

Thank you for your comments. We are pleased to hear that we have the transition for both you and your baby into our nursery has been a positive and supportive experience. Our aim is to make the transition into starting nursery as smooth as possible for both the child and their parents/carer.

Overall Experience

After being let down from two childminders we were stressing about finding somewhere for our twin boys, we contacted RAFA to see if they had any availability and contacted us back very quickly to say they would be able to fit us in. We had a viewing within a week or so and knew straight away that this

would be the most perfect place for our boys to attend.
We had two settling in days before they started, we were so amazed by the place.
They have been attending since September 2024 and they absolutely love the place and we do also.
Everyone is so welcoming and nice, it's so comforting for us to know we can leave the boys and they will have the best time.
They have both come along so much with such little time spent there already and we can't thank the team enough for all they do for us.

Overall Experience

RAFA Kidz Cosford is a beautiful nursery, I had a lot of anxiety about sending my son to nursery as he is only 11 months old but they really put you at ease. I love reading the updates of what he gets up to while he is there and seeing the photos, he always looks so happy. All the staff are so amazing

and so caring. Sending my son to RAFA Kidz was definitely the best decision I have made for my son as I know he is well looked after and developing well I can't recommend this nursery enough.

Both of my children attend this nursery and love it. It is such a relief dropping our boys off knowing they are very well looked after with a great range of daily activities, what I also love is that we are continually updated throughout the day and can see what they have been up to. The staff have

been great in supporting us with our eldest who is currently potty training and has really helped with his journey and can't do enough to support this. Great job to all the staff at Rafa Kidz Cosford!

Overall Experience

This nursery RAFA Kida Cosford is a warm, welcoming and active place for all the children that attend. My granddaughter has been going for several weeks now and she enjoys her time on the days she attends. The nursery safeguarding is exemplary. When I fetched her for the first time, I had to be checked

and a security word needed to be told. The staff are friendly and warm. Always happy to chat and relate what my granddaughter has been up to. She is always pleased to see the staff who are her key workers for the day, which makes it a happier experience to drop her off.
I would as a nanny recommend this nursery to other families looking for somewhere for their little ones to attend.

They give daily feedback on development and learning. The app used by the nursery also gives you peace of mind. It is very informative, and

gives weekly learning journeys, wow moments and daily logs. Overall we have had an excellent experience.

Overall Experience

Our daughter started in the Spring of 2024, we found the settling-in days really supportive and encouraging.
Since then, we have loved knowing the activities our daughter is taking part in on a daily basis, the amount of time they spend outside is so great and the meals are super varied and healthy.

As well as having access to the sensory room.
I appreciate how proactive the nursery is with improving things, taking the children out for little outings around the local area, having parents coffee mornings, stay and play sessions and parents evenings.
It is also encouraged each week to all parents to introduce a new sign to help with communication with our children. I was apprehensive before my daughter started nursery but would 100% recommend RAFA Kidz Cosford.

Overall Experience

My child has attended this nursery setting since August 2023 and since it has been taken over by RAFA Kidz, it feels as though there has been a significant improvement at the nursery.
The communication has improved and the overall look of the nursery is better. The staff have always had a genuine care

for the children who attend and I really do feel that my child is properly looked after and has all her needs met.
The staff engage great with parents and have the family's best interest at heart.
The food offered is nice and varied and in my experience, there has never been an issue with meeting dietary requirements.
The outdoor spaces are suitable and the children will spend as much time outside as possible should the weather allow for it!
