View Full Details of RAFA Kidz MedmenhamI couldn't be more grateful for the exceptional care and support provided by Rafa Kidz. From the moment we arrived, the team made us feel like part of the family. Their warmth and genuine care created a home away from home for her. The outdoor space is fantastic, with plenty of room for the children to explore, and forest school added an incredible dimension to her learning. My daughter loved every moment spent outside, engaging with nature and enjoying hands-on activities that sparked her curiosity and creativity. Communication was always clear and consistent, giving us peace of mind that she was thriving. The team did an excellent job preparing her for the transition to school, and we can see the positive impact in her confidence and enthusiasm for learning. I highly recommend Rafa Kidz Medmenham for anyone looking for a nurturing, friendly, and inspiring nursery experience. Thank you to the whole team for making her last years so special.
Wonderful nursery with competent, caring staff. Incredible outdoor space. Our child was really happy there for the +2 years she's gone. We feel so lucky to have gotten her into this wonderful nursery.
My daughter attends the oaks room (pre-school room) and she absolutely loves going. The staff take the time to know and understand your child and the communication is excellent. They write a lovely end-of-the-week summary on the app the nursery uses with photos so you know what your child has been up to that week. The activities are child-led and are always created with the child in mind. The outside area is brilliant. The children are always outside in the garden whatever the weather which my daughter loves. Her particular favourite activity is forest school. She will always come home eagerly telling us what she did that day. Group activities are created for the children leaving for school so that they are ready to go. The meals are made in-house and are healthy and nutritious. My daughter will try different types of food that she wouldn't necessarily try at home. We will be really sad to leave RAFA kidz to start the new journey of 'big' school!
We're very fortunate our daughter attended this nursery. It's had such a positive influence on her and her development. The staff are first class and the facilities both inside and out are excellent. The kids have a great environment to play and learn. The standards are high and maintained, and that's consistent throughout all the staff. We'll miss this nursery and we leave with fond memories. Thank you all for making it such a wonderful experience.
The staff at RAFA Kidz Medmenham are amazing. My son (3) joined in August last year, and they have made the transition smooth and enjoyable for us all. He can't wait to come in in the morning and is full of stories of what they get up to when he comes home. He is a late talker, and the staff have worked hard with him to improve his communication skills and we have loved seeing the difference. I love the updates we receive throughout the week, both with stories and photos of what they get up to (usually messier play than the staff intended I'm sure!) and also reminders for parents which have helped keep us organised. The staff are lovely and friendly, giving us updates on pick up, but also happy to discuss development and any concerns we may have. All in all, an excellent nursery with wonderful staff.
I couldn't be happier with how my son is progressing in this setting. He is well supported by the staff, who are all so friendly and welcoming. The facilities and activities that the setting provides are fantastic. He eats better at nursery than he does at home, as he refuses to eat most things at home! My son has so much fun and comes home nearly every day having learnt something new that he will proudly tell us. Really happy with how he is getting on.
We are so incredibly happy with the service and level of care provided by RAFA Kidz Medmenham. Every staff member is so kind, caring and supportive and they go above and beyond to provide inspiring and enriching experiences for our children. The facilities are fabulous and the forest school provision is such a wonderful opportunity for all who attend. The staff are all approachable and the communication with parents is always timely and informative. We have had two children attend the nursery, one who is still there currently, and both have been so happy and supported in their environments. It is so reassuring to know that our children are in the safe, caring and stimulating environment that RAFA Kidz provides.
My daughter is 14 months and joined at 9 months. She loves it. Her transition went extremely well. I was able to ease her in and continue to pop in to feed her as there is a breastfeeding room available and staff are incredibly supportive. She settled into the routine really well. The staff are so warm and welcoming. She is comfortable with all of the staff and they genuinely care about all of the children as if they were their own. The children are at ease and receive the right amount of attention. My daughter has grown in confidence and developed quickly. She sings recognisable songs at home and uses sign language with us. Her independent skills have flourished and she is clearly thriving. Now that she is walking, it is wonderful to see her walk into nursery happily. It is therefore clear that she is happy. The feedback is great. There is a programme of varied activities. The equipment and the use of outside space are also excellent.
I cannot recommend RAFA Kids Medmenham enough, all of my three children have been at the nursery over the last seven years and my third child is currently in Bluebells. I would not even consider another nursery, the staff are absolutely amazing with the children and they have all loved coming to nursery, it’s like their second home. The setting is lovely and welcoming and the variety of toys and activities that they have for the children makes it a really fun place to be. Thank you for the love and care you all give and the big warm cuddles.
Having moved to Medmenham in December 2023, my son joined the acorns class. He was quite upset about the change in the childcare setting. I received excellent advice and guidance from the ladies. He now runs into the nursery in the morning and has a great day. This is a credit to the Acorns team for spending the time to go at the speed my son was happy with and treating all the children as individuals. I love how the team provide a diary update on a Friday and the photos that are included. It’s lovely to see the details of what has been done during the week. This is loads better than our previous setting. I like the real-time updates on the app too. I love the fact that the Acorns go to a different room for their meals, I think this sets them up well for the future. I also love the newly introduced forest school, which the children seem to adore! A huge thank you to the team for making us feel so welcome, and for running a great setting.
My son has attended the RAFA Kidz Nursery in Medmenham for the past two years and I have seen him develop and thrive under the care of the staff there. Particularly his speech and communication skills. The activities are fun and diverse whilst still delivering a solid routine that I have found really helps him. The facilities at the setting are amazing, especially the garden. Come rain or shine the children are out exploring which again is something he loves. The staff are super and communication is simple and easy. 10/10! Cannot wait for our youngest to start there too!
Our daughter has been in this nursery for over a year. We feel so lucky to be part of this nursery. The staff are incredible and the facilities at the nursery are brilliant. So much green space! Our daughter happily goes every day (full time) and we feel she is both happy and getting a great education for a 2-year-old. I love their focus on messy play which you cannot do at home, also they teach baking and gardening which the children love. Lots of outdoor time. I cannot recommend this nursery enough - it is by far the best in the area.
We were really cautious about our son starting nursery for the first time and we have had nothing to worry about at all. He absolutely adores being there and when we put him down he runs in without a backward glance. We love that the nursery staff are so attentive and with so much on their hands still find time to post pictures and update the app so we know exactly what our son is doing and when. When we drop him off it feels like we are leaving him with family and are confident that he is safe, has good nutritious food and has so much attention from the staff. It’s obvious how much he is learning as every time he comes home he is practicing a new skill and we are just so happy that he’s found his place - an excellent nursery that is giving children that much needed start in life to develop them socially, mentally and physically and we are so happy to have secured a full time place for our son. Thanks to all the staff for all your hard work in caring for our little boy.
RAFA Kidz Medmenham is such a lovely setting. My little one has been so happy there from day one. The outside space is amazing and the children seem to take full advantage of the space come rain or shine. All the staff are wonderful and caring. They always seem to be thinking up new fun activities for the children to engage in. 100% recommend!
We are so pleased my daughter goes to RAFA Kidz Medmenham. They are a real partner in bringing her up. You can see that the team really care about the kids and go above and beyond every day to help them grow. Compared to nurseries we hear about through friends it sounds like RAFA Kidz Medmenham is in a league of their own!
RAFA Kidz Medmenham has provided the perfect environment for my daughter. She started at the nursery a year ago and her confidence and development have continued to flourish month after month. The staff are exceptional and go out of their way to provide the children with a place where they feel safe and cared for, it really is like sending my daughter to her extended family and she can not wait to put on her shoes and go to 'school' every day.
I absolutely love our RAFA Kidz Medmenham nursery! My daughter loves it too and has only cried recently when I’ve tried to take her home at the end of the day! She loves all the staff and her new friends and I am genuinely delighted to leave her in their care. Beyond the team, the nursery space itself is very special, with plenty of varied activity, a wonderful outdoor space and special events run from time to time. The recent charity bike ride means Martha now loves her balance bike at home! My only request would be to have more sight of menus and greater detail on what the children have eaten for each meal made available on the app. It’s sometimes very difficult to gauge how much and what she has eaten during the day (all three meals) and I sometimes waste a lot of food offering a snack in the evening. More updates on the app would save asking every time.
A brilliant nursery that supports the military family and provides wonderful care, activities and facilities in which my children have thrived throughout their nursery experience. The staff really do put their heart into caring for the children and go above and beyond to ensure the children are well cared for and have experiences and activities which are fun, educational and interesting for them. The nursery has recently changed ownership and this has really made a big difference with fair pricing for military families and, in my opinion, better support for the staff and facilities for the children than under the previous owners. Really really pleased with the care they have provided for my children over the last 3 years.
Fantastic staff, amazing facilities, and a magical place for the children to play and learn. Everything from the children’s reports to the quality of the food, from the outdoor space to the overall management - it's all first class.
I cannot rate RAFA Kids Medmenham highly enough. The nursery is run so extremely well by the manager and every member of the team is so lovely to deal with. All you want as a parent is to drop your little one off knowing that they will be in the safest of hands, really well cared for and happy in their environment; these boxes are ticked every single day that I leave my little boy with them. Seeing him happily wave me goodbye and excitedly tell me about his day when I collect him is just so comforting and it’s all down to the truly remarkable team at RAFA. They make every day so interesting for the little ones and keep you updated with everything that’s been going on so you don’t feel as though you’re missing those magical young years whilst at work.
