Such a lovely setting. Our little girl has been going for nearly 2 years and has loved her time here. The support she has received has been wonderful, with regular feedback to us on her progress. Lots of fun activities, structured, interesting learning topics and wonderful staff. Thank you!

All staff members are extremely friendly and provide a welcoming environment for both children and parents. The communication between the nursery and parents is brilliant and our questions are always answered swiftly. We are always kept in the loop with upcoming events through the app. Our little boy's key worker and room leader regularly update us either in person or via the app with observations, progress and activities our child is interested in, which gives us ideas on how to help support our child at home with continued learning. Thank you so much for everything you do.

My daughter started her childcare experiences through RAFA Kidz this year. What is undoubtedly a nervous time for any parent was eased through the taster sessions, where I found the staff to be attentive, caring and fully invested in the development of my child. The place setting offers plenty of experiences for the children, through see learn and playing. Food options continue to adapt to feedback, offering a broad selection that caters for all.

We recently moved to Cranwell and enrolled our little boy into RAFKidz Cranwell. We were very nervous about the move having on recently returned to the UK and managed to get him settled in his old nursery, which took a few months. We could not have been more delighted with the way in which the staff at the nursery welcomed us and our little boy into their setting. He was settled within days and now is so excited about going to nursery each day, to the point he sometimes doesn’t want to come home at the end of the day. In addition to getting him settled so quickly, the nursery has regular events that include parents, from story readings during the day to parent stay-and-play breakfasts. We feel very blessed to be so involved in his nursery setting, and it has only been three months so far. All the staff are incredible, including all of the behind scenes staff as well. We cannot recommend this nursery enough.

The staff are incredible, they have been so welcoming and supportive. They are informative about all aspects of the day my child has and keep me updated via the app. They accommodate all dietary requirements and take the time to get to know your child’s uniqueness.

RAFA Kidz is outstanding. The outdoor space is a safe space for exploration, the activities are diverse and engaging, and the staff are exceptional. My children have both thrived in the positive learning environment they have created. I highly recommend this nursery to any parent seeking top-notch care and education for their little ones.

Our daughter has attended the setting for about six months now and moved from a very small nursery. The transition has been wonderful, she has settled into this big nursery so well and this is down to the great team at RAFA Kids Cranwell. They identified her needs early and worked to slowly build her confidence in the setting. She is now a much more confident and settled individual. The activities the nursery does with the children are varied, fun and assist in her development daily. The outdoor space for the children is one of the best parts of this nursery. The new covers mean the children can play outside in all weathers - the fresh air and being active are two things my little one loves. I can't fault anything with this nursery as a choice for my daughter.

A wonderful nursery where the children are encouraged and supported to help with their development. The care given by the staff is of a very high standard and I would not hesitate to recommend RAFA Kidz.

Really a fantastic nursery with incredible staff. My child has come on so much since joining. I will always be grateful for their care and work. Every day there is always something exciting and educational.

I cannot fault the nursery at all. I have 2 children attending this nursery and the care, support and guidance they are given on a daily basis is just fantastic! Both my children have developed so much because of what the amazing team do and the opportunities available to them every day! Thank you so much!

My child has been here for approximately 3 months now and as a first time mum, I was very nervous about him starting nursery but our experience has been fantastic. He thoroughly enjoys every day he is at nursery, the staff are amazing, caring and attentive and keep me up to date with everything that goes on. He is always doing different activities every day and gets to go out and about to explore. Thank you to all the staff for doing an amazing job and putting all my worries at ease.

Our daughter has been attending RAFA Kidz Cranwell for the last 7 months and we absolutely love it. The team works incredibly hard to provide a caring, fun and engaging environment. There are always interesting and stimulating activities happening and the team really supports our daughter's learning/development (with kindness and professionalism). We highly recommend it.

The nursery is a very welcoming environment, that is absolutely child centred. I have seen first hand how they provide tailored support to the children to meet their needs. The key carer to my children have all been super kind, focused and available as a familiar grown-up for my children to feel secure with. I'm so proud of how my children have grown into independent little people over the last few years and I can't thank the staff enough for their role in that.

We put our son into this nursery when he was 7 months old then swapped him out to send him to a childminders (mostly down to financial reasons). We pulled him out of the childminders after a month and half to put him back into RAFA Kidz Cranwell. This was the easiest decision we ever made. I think this speaks volumes. Our son loves it here and more so it gives us peace of mind that he's happy and having fun in a safe place. The app to track his day is also of a great reassurance to us, especially when his dad has to go away with work. He can stay in the loop. Our son quite often comes back tired and dirty from nursery and we wouldn't have it any other way. He's just enjoying life being a toddler and it's really nice that he has a place where he feels settled to be able to do that. We'd recommend RAFA Kidz Cranwell to anyone. In particular, Cranwell. Price hikes per year are a bit hard to swallow but I would say that's about the only real negative.

Such a wonderful nursery, with staff who really care for each child there. My girl absolutely loves going there, and the setting is brilliant, with loads of outdoor space. Massive variety of activities each week. The staff retention rate seems very high too, which probably says it all - the staff are happy working there, and it flows through the whole place. My child is thriving there, all thanks to the practitioners and their skill and love.

I have two children using RAFA Kidz Cranwell (Butterflies/Grasshoppers). I have been so impressed with the fantastic staff, the structured activities, the facilities and the communications with parents. The staff are all so experienced and caring. I always feel reassured that the kids are in safe hands. The opening hours are ideal to allow for flexibility with the busy working day. And the system of bussing the kids to and from primary school on either side of wraparound care is absolutely amazing! Thank you so much!

Fantastic nursery, my child has been there for 1.5 years now and loves it. The staff are amazing, they take the time to get to know parents and understand each child and their personal circumstances. I would highly recommend RAFA Kidz.

A lovely welcoming setting for my child. The practitioners listen to my needs and any concerns. They have helped my child in many different aspects of their learning journey. There are lots of amazing facilities and different planned activities and resources to suit all age ranges.

The before and after school club is excellent! I have 2 children who attend and they always have a big smile on their face when they go. All the staff are welcoming and approachable and they always provide great activities for the children.

A wonderful nursery, my child has taken part really lovely experiences, last year they went strawberry picking, to the cinema and local horses. They love to be out in the nursery garden and are always so happy when I come and collect. Would highly recommend.
