RAFA Kidz Cranwell

A fantastic day nursery that I highly recommend. A safe and friendly environment where my kids love to learn, play and explore the fantastic 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 support. Most of all, they love going.

My children have been attending RAFA Kidzone since they were 8 months old. The care they have received has been nothing short of exemplary. The staff are very supportive and caring and they have built up excellent bonds with my children. Because of this, they feel safe and secure and love to run into nursery 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.

I was very concerned about sending my baby to nursery but RAFA Kidz team really helped me with that worry, they keep me updated with everything my son does and I never feel like an over-anxious mother when I ring to see how he’s doing ( I do that a lot!). The meals plans are excellent, which has led to my boy eating anything and everything! My son loves the nursery, 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.

Highly recommended! I’m so pleased our little ones have spent their early years at RAFA Kidzone. I love seeing and hearing about all the wonderful experiences they have taken part in. Both girls adore all the staff that have taken care of them over the years, I couldn’t ask for better childcare, the Kidzone team have been amazing.

We moved to the area early this year and I was anxious about my son (then aged 3) starting a new nursery as he was so happy at his last one. I needn’t have been so worried, RAFA Kidzone Cranwell have been amazing. My son absolutely loves it at this nursery. I’ve noticed a huge improvement with my son’s learning, the staff were amazing helping me get my son out of nappies too. They are always updating on me on my sons day at nursery with not just telling me what he’s eaten but activities they have done, things he has done well, highlighting when he’s been helpful, etc. I’m really pleased with the communication we have. During lockdown, it was a very difficult time (I’m sure for everyone) I found the nursey to be very helpful. Me and my partner are key workers and couldn’t thank the nursery enough for their dedication and support.

This is an amazing nursery. After my son tried two different nurseries prior to RAFA Kidzone, he settled in immediately here. The staff are incredible. He has made lots of friends and he is so happy.
The nursery ticks all the boxes for me in the fact he has access to an amazing outdoor space, he is well looked after by the staff, he is happy there, he has made lots of friends and he is learning so much.
After visiting many settings I would say this is one of the best. Highly recommend a visit. Even during these times, I feel the nursery have followed safe measures while children can still have the ability to enjoy their early years of education.

A fantastic nursery that we highly recommend! Our daughter started nursery for the very first time in September 2020 and we are delighted with her development so far. She has settled in well, made friends and has good relationships with the staff.
We find that the staff are extremely professional while also being very kind and caring. They provide a safe, fun and stimulating environment in which our daughter is very happy and they have responded excellently to the current ‘COVID’ situation.
They place the well-being of the children at the centre of everything that they do. We feel our daughter is sufficiently challenged whilst learning key life skills to ensure she is well equipped for school.
The nursery also provides a healthy and delicious menu which is very much appreciated and enjoyed.
The online learning journal enables us to securely view our daughter’s progress and successfully communicate with the staff to build on her learning.
Thank you very much!

Our son has had a wonderful time here and it has improved his behavioural skills no end. He 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 nursery as our son is diagnosed with ASD, so the setting he needs to be in really has to be the best, safest and with the most competent staff. Luckily we found it here with RAFA Kidzone Cranwell.

My one year old son recently started here on a part time basis. I was extremely anxious as he had only been at home during the lockdown but the staff reassured me and helped my son settle in quickly. They’re as supportive of the parents as they are of the children and its lovely to see my son grow in confidence in a safe and supportive environment.

Both of my children age one and four absolutely love attending RAFA Kidzone Cranwell and have completely thrived under their care. Despite an erratic start to nursery, due to Covid-19 lockdown, my daughter settled in immediately thanks to the care and attention from the staff to make her feel at ease. Her development since starting nursery is incredible and testament to the great range of activities provided to the children at all ages. We were also worried that my son would struggle with a move from a previous nursery but he has loved his time at RAFA Kidzone Cranwell and now enjoys attending breakfast club and holiday club. We, as parents really enjoy the app updates and seeing what the kids have been up to and we are always jealous to hear the wide range of food they are provided in the day! Overall an excellent childcare setting which we feel very lucky our children attend.
