Our daughter has attended this nursery for a good while now, and I have to say they are absolutely amazing! She is learning and developing so many new skills in speech, has developed motor skills, and learning basic mathematics like numbers, colours and shapes. The staff were also amazing with helping
us during potty training, and keeping us updated on how she gets on. My daughter is always happy to attend nursery, and has developed a lovely relationship with all the staff members who care for her which really puts my mind at ease leaving her there for the day while I work.
The meals and snacks are brilliant! It is lovely to see that she is being given proper fresh cooked hot meals, lots of fruit and vegetables and giving good variety for her diet.
I couldn't have asked for my daughter to attend a more safe and caring environment while I work, and have nothing but positive feedback to give.

RAFA Kidz Valley is an amazing nursery. I have felt comfortable in leaving my son there from the first day. The staff are so kind and the communication is great. Nothing is ever too much for them. My son has so much fun there and you can tell how comfortable he is with the staff and the other kids.

I can't say enough wonderful things about RAFA Kids Nursery! From the moment we walked through the doors, we were met with warmth and professionalism from the incredible staff. They go above and beyond to create a nurturing, safe, and fun environment for the children, and it's clear they genuinely care
about each child's well-being and development.
My daughter absolutely loved her time there - every day was filled with exciting activities, creative play, and learning experiences that kept her engaged and happy. It's been amazing to watch her grow in confidence, make new friends, and develop new skills thanks to the support and encouragement of the fantastic team. The app is great and updated throughout the day!
If you're looking for a nursery where your child will be cared for, inspired, and truly happy, I wholeheartedly recommend RAFA Kids Nursery. It's more than just a childcare facility - it's a second home for the children, and we are so grateful for them. Thank you so so much!

From the very first day, RAFA Kidz Valley has exceeded our expectations. We were shocked by how comfortable our daughter was during her first taster session. The staff are incredibly warm, friendly and genuinely caring, making our daughter feel right at home. She comes back every day excited and eager
to see them again, which speaks volumes about the loving environment they provide.
Communication from the nursery is excellent, they keep us well-informed and speak about our daughter with such care and enthusiasm. It's truly reassuring to know she's in such capable hands. The level of attention and affection they give mirrors what we strive to provide at home and that means the world to us.
We trust the staff and management completely and cannot recommend this nursery highly enough. It's clear that the team loves what they do and it reflects in the way they treat the children.

My son has been going to this nursery since he was 10 months old, he has always had the best care there. When we have had any concerns or when issues arise they are dealt with in the most supportive way, my son loves it when he's there and enjoys all of the activities they provide to them. They have
a good outdoor space and also take the kids out on little walks around the area when the weather allows which is nice.

I've been using this nursery for over a year now and my son loves it. He loves it so much, he doesn't want to leave most days. The staff are amazing and feel like family to me. The imagination and creativity they have astounds me. Babyfest "24 - amazing! The nursery itself is bright and spacious with
a great outdoor space the kids love. Indoors is split into age appropriate rooms with all the learning materials to meet those important milestones. The kitchen is also great and provides a full range of healthy meals and snacks. I can't express how much I love this nursery, the staff are all brilliant at what they do and seeing the joy on my sons face at the end of the day is the best thing in the world. He has all his needs met and more. I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone that asked. 5 stars across the board!

I've been using this nursery for 6 years and I could not recommend the staff and setting enough. They've become like family to my 3 children who have been going to the nursery over these 6 years. I've never had any problems and they've all enjoyed the different daily activities they plan and have made
great friends in the staff too.
The healthy food options are perfect and they offer a great variety. They use their outdoor setting in all weathers (if the children want to) and this has been a huge enjoyment for my children. It's set in the very natural tone using natural resources which has always been a hit.
A very big thank you to all the staff.

Both my kids have attended RAFA Kidz nursery. They have good meals, are taught with kindness and respect, and are well cared for. The staff make a concerted effort to know the kids likes and dislikes and my children have always been happy when they have been picked up.

My daughter has attended the nursery since she was a baby, she built a beautiful relationship with all the staff at the nursery, especially six members of staff in particular. Brilliant facilities and excellent staff.
My daughter is attending the holiday clubs now that she has begun school, she still
asks about the nursery and when she's going back to "Beryl school".
Thank you for your hard work and your dedication to taking care of our children.

Lovely nursery, couldn't recommend it enough. The staff are so friendly and are amazing with my little boy, I feel at complete ease that he is being well cared for and fed well. They give you updates on how his day is going and any developments which is such a great thing to do. He absolutely loves
it there, always doing different activities.
The manager is extremely helpful and approachable also.

We have been taking our child to this nursery for over 2 years. The staff members are all friendly and welcoming, highly trained, and great with our child. They have seen her from 7-months-old to 3-years-old and have helped her through potty training as well. Our child loves the food and has thrived.
The staff monitor the child's development and are in constant contact with us as she grows. We get daily updates on an app to see how much and when she eats/naps/toilets.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.847)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.847) out of 10 for RAFA Kidz Valley 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 4.9 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 4.965 for RAFA Kidz Valley is calculated as follows: ( (139 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 144 Ratings = 4.965

  • 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 4.882 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for RAFA Kidz Valley 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 68 number of registered child places is 13.6. 12 Positive Reviews ÷ 13.6 = 0.882

  • 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.
