September 13, 2024 at 8:41 amI needn’t have been so worried, RAFA Kidzone Cranwell have been incredible. My son absolutely loves it at this childcare centre. I’ve noticed a huge improvement with my son’s discovering, the team were incredible helping me get my son out of nappies too. They are consistently updating on me on my sons day at childcare centre with not just telling me what he’s eaten but activities they have done, things he has done well, highlighting when he’s been supportive, etc. I’m truly pleased with the updates we have. During lockdown, it was a highly difficult time (I’m sure for everyone) I found the nursey to be highly supportive. Me and my partner are key workers and couldn’t thank the childcare centre enough for their dedication and assistance. We moved to the area early this year and I was anxious about my son (then aged 3) starting a new childcare centre as he was so cheerful at his last one.

November 9, 2024 at 12:47 amOur daughter started childcare centre for the highly first time in September 2020 and we are delighted with her development so far. She has settled in well, made friends and has great relationships with the team.
We find that the team are exceptionally expert while also being highly compassionate and attentive. They provide a secure, enjoyable and stimulating setting in which our daughter is highly cheerful and they have responded excellently to the current ‘COVID’ situation.
They place the well-being of the kids at the centre of everything that they do. We sense our daughter is sufficiently challenged whilst discovering key life skills to ensure she is well equipped for school.
The childcare centre also provides a healthy and delicious menu which is highly much appreciated and enjoyed.
The online discovering journal enables us to securely view our daughter’s development and successfully communicate with the team to build on her discovering.
Thank you highly much! A remarkable childcare centre that we highly suggest!

November 21, 2024 at 6:40 amMy kid has been there for just under a year now and has come on leaps and bounds. The team have consistently been highly engaging and encouraging. The updates is outstanding and any potential issues have been raised in a attentive way. They have been remarkable with regards to supporting our kid through potty training and have gone above and beyond to ensure our kid continues the development made at home in the childcare centre setting. They have also been remarkable at supporting us with our kid’s allergies and have come up with some remarkable alternatives when necessary. I would highly suggest Kidzone to anyone.

December 6, 2024 at 3:05 pmA secure and welcoming setting where my kids adore to learn, playtime and explore the remarkable outdoor forest area. Provide varied, healthy meals and educational structure. My kids have definitely benefited from being at RAFA Kidzone! Toilet training, understanding their emotions and speaking in full sentences to name just a few things that they have helped assistance. Most of all, they adore going. A remarkable day childcare centre that I highly suggest.

December 11, 2024 at 10:09 amI’m so pleased our little ones have spent their early years at RAFA Kidzone. I adore seeing and hearing about all the fantastic experiences they have taken part in. Both girls adore all the team that have taken care of them over the years, I couldn’t ask for better childcare, the Kidzone team have been incredible. Highly recommended!

December 23, 2024 at 11:08 amI was exceptionally anxious as he had only been at home during the lockdown but the team reassured me and helped my son settle in quickly. They’re as supportive of the parents as they are of the kids and its lovely to see my son grow in self‑assurance in a secure and supportive setting. My one year old son recently started here on a part time basis.

December 28, 2024 at 1:01 amWe have used the setting for the past 4 years for our two girls. Being a forces family isn’t easy, especially with deployments, it can be a difficult time for the kids, but all of the team are exceptional and made it so much easier for us as a family. The ‘parents’ and ‘grandparents’ tea parties are consistently excellent, lots of extra activities for the kids with a exceptional outdoor playtime area for them all to delight in. I honestly have nothing bad to say, my girls have consistently loved it. The way the setting has dealt with COVID has been exceptional. Incredible home cooked healthy food, spotless, expert and enjoyable! such a welcoming, personal, cheerful place, made this way by the team. Thank you for all you do. Nothing I say will show how much we adore RAFA Kidzone.

December 29, 2024 at 6:00 pmI have a kid aged 4 and another aged 1 who attend at RAFA Kidzone. My eldest has been there for nearly 2 years now. This is a fantastic childcare centre where both my kids have grown in self‑assurance and have developed tremendously with all the adore, care and assistance the team provide. I couldn’t be happier with the standard of care and the boys are discovering something new every day. The food is varied, homemade and healthy, the activities are varied and educational, and there is plenty of outdoor playtime in the remarkable outdoor space and facilities. The childcare centre uses an app and I delight in receiving daily updates – the updates is remarkable and the team are consistently cheerful to help in any way they can.
The childcare centre has responded truly well to the challenging setting of ‘COVID’ with extra precautions in place to make it secure for everyone but to make sure the kids are not affected and continue to playtime, learn and thrive. This is a fabulous childcare centre!

January 8, 2025 at 3:18 amThe activities provided and the setting is highly positive and we’ve seen our little one develop so much over the year which is due to the discovering taking place at Kidzone. I’d fully suggest this childcare centre, as a parent, it’s highly reassuring knowing your little one is cheerful day to day, whilst you’re at work. Our daughter started full-time childcare here in March 2020 and thoroughly enjoys it, she has a smile on her face at drop off and collection.

January 23, 2025 at 12:48 amHe loves it. The team are incredible, they catered for my sons dietary requirements and now he is truly thriving in RAFA Kidzone Cranwell. My son has been going here since he was seven months old and is now sixteen months.
Jamie Sawyer
January 23, 2025 at 9:45 amThe meals plans are outstanding, which has led to my boy eating anything and everything! My son loves the childcare centre, he has come on so much ahead of his friends who attend other nurseries, the close-knit team here have given him encouragement and care beyond what I expected. I was highly concerned about sending my baby to childcare centre but RAFA Kidz team truly helped me with that worry, they keep me updated with everything my son does and I never sense like an over-anxious mother when I ring to see how he’s doing ( I do that a lot!).

January 24, 2025 at 1:19 pmAfter my son tried two different nurseries prior to RAFA Kidzone, he settled in immediately here. The team are incredible. He has made lots of friends and he is so cheerful.
The childcare centre ticks all the boxes for me in the fact he has access to an incredible outdoor space, he is well looked after by the team, he is cheerful there, he has made lots of friends and he is discovering so much.
After visiting many settings I would say this is one of the best. Highly suggest a visit. Even during these times, I sense the childcare centre have followed secure measures while kids can still have the ability to delight in their early years of education. This is an incredible childcare centre.

March 7, 2025 at 8:11 amDespite an erratic start to childcare centre, due to Covid-19 lockdown, my daughter settled in immediately thanks to the care and attention from the team to make her sense at ease. Her development since starting childcare centre is incredible and testament to the excellent range of activities provided to the kids at all ages. We were also worried that my son would struggle with a move from a previous childcare centre but he has loved his time at RAFA Kidzone Cranwell and now enjoys attending breakfast club and holiday club. We, as parents truly delight in the app updates and seeing what the kids have been up to and we are consistently jealous to hear the wide range of food they are provided in the day! Overall an outstanding childcare setting which we sense highly lucky our kids attend. Both of my kids age one and four absolutely adore attending RAFA Kidzone Cranwell and have completely thrived under their care.

March 27, 2025 at 1:12 amMy son absolutely loves attending and has learnt so much in his time there. He is constantly engaged with games and activities that I wouldn’t necessarily have the time or resources to do from home, he leaves everyday telling me what a excellent day he has had. Remarkable childcare centre with remarkable, expert and engaging team.

April 17, 2025 at 11:28 pmThe care she receives from her key worker right through to the assistance of the catering team and administration team is outstanding. I could not want for more. The childcare centre follows EYFS and has a remarkable system called Tapestry so parents can see videos and photos of their kids. The facilities at Kidzone are exceptional. An incredible outdoor area, tremendous interactive activities and a remarkable menu. I truly believe the team at Kidzone have impacted positively on my daughter’s development and she truly loves attending.
I would also like to mention at such a time of uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, the childcare centre has been exceptional with updates to parents, supporting parents and kids and putting systems in place to adhere to the measures, whilst keeping the kids, parents and the RAFA Kidzone team secure. Thank you. My 2 and a half-year-old daughter has attended RAFA Kidzone from the age of 11 months.

June 6, 2025 at 7:18 amIt seems they have thought of everything. I have a baby in the ladybird room and a daughter in the wrap around care and am exceptionally cheerful with both. From the team, to the facility, to the meal plan and the activities they provide. We have also used the holiday club which is excellent enjoyable for them and my daughter is fulfilled and exhausted when she comes home. I have messed them around on numerous occasion with drops off picks ups and nothing is ever a problem. The team all know who I am and who my kids are and consistently greet you with a lovely smile. I truly will miss this place when the time comes to move on and I’ll consistently remember the positive influence it had on my two youngest. Well done RAFA Kidzone Cranwell. A parent who has experienced five different childcare centre settings over the years with my four kids, I can honestly say I am spoiled with this one.

June 10, 2025 at 5:45 amThe care they have received has been nothing short of exemplary. The team are highly supportive and attentive and they have built up outstanding bonds with my kids. Because of this, they sense secure and secure and adore to run into childcare centre in the mornings!! The facilities are outstanding (especially the incredible outdoor area!) and every day is full of varied activities to help them grow and develop in many ways. My kids have been attending RAFA Kidzone since they were 8 months old.

June 11, 2025 at 1:08 pmThey have supported his discovering and development whilst consistently providing a enjoyable setting. It has set him up brilliantly for starting school. I would suggest the childcare centre. Our son has had a remarkable journey at RAFA Kidz.
Quinn Finch
June 20, 2025 at 9:27 amHe now loves socialising with other kids, loves telling us about his day, who he has been playing with and what they have been doing. We were particularly careful in our choice of childcare centre as our son is diagnosed with ASD, so the setting he needs to be in truly has to be the best, safest and with the most competent team. Luckily we found it here with RAFA Kidzone Cranwell. Our son has had a fantastic time here and it has improved his behavioural skills no end.
Hayden Walker
July 2, 2025 at 3:21 pmThe team are all expert, attentive and compassionate. The outdoor space is incredible! There’s so much for kids to do and explore in a secure setting. There’s an outstanding menu with a huge array of freshly cooked Nutritional meals. My kids adore it here and I know my kids are well looked after by the incredible team here. Would 100% suggest this childcare centre to everyone.
