    She started when she was 7 months old and I was quite anxious about leaving her and returning to work. The setting provided settling in days and reassured me throughout the initial period. My daughter has settled in so well and I am kept up to date with lots of photos and feedback at picking up time. I was able to continue breast feeding with assistance from the childcare centre team which is truly important to me. My daughter loves going to the childcare centre, she happily runs to the team with a big smile on her face and seeing her flourish there is incredible to watch. She does lots of daily activities and has learnt some baby sign language. I highly suggest this childcare centre. My daughter has been attending RAFA Kidz Digby childcare centre for coming up to a year.

    I was blown away by the efforts made to create a nurturing home-from-home setting and to ensure my son bonded with his key person.
    Thank you to the team for ensuring my son has all the cuddles and explores safely. I sense at ease going to work and knowing he is in secure hands. They have so much to offer little ones and delight in messy playtime and plenty of outdoor activities- already I can tell my son loves this!! I appreciate the many updates on the app and I adore seeing photos of all the enjoyable activities they get up to. All team here go above and beyond to help you and I couldn’t wish for a better setting.
    A big thank you to all team, admin team too who are particularly supportive. My 10-month-old has settled well here at RAFA Kidz Childcare centre.

    The team are highly supportive, easy to communicate with and understanding. They do lots of activities and are highly keen on ensuring the best in developing skills and knowledge. My daughter is growing with self‑assurance and the childcare centre plays a part in that. As a parent I have full self‑assurance my daughter’s interests and needs are a priority for the team. The preschool is looking for funding to update the outside playtime area which will make it perfect. My daughter has a fantastic time at this childcare centre, she is consistently highly excited about going and she’s consistently cheerful when we pick her up and tells us all about the excellent things she’s been enjoying.

    The team are so attentive and go out of their way to make sure the kids are looked after, providing extra assistance and assistance during times where one or both of our kids have struggled with room transitions or returning after prolonged periods at home. There are consistently so many activities going on for the kids to take part in and they have both developed so much during their time at RAFA Kidz. The food is varied and healthy and the facilities are excellent – the outdoor playtime areas are incredible. Our kids have been at the setting for over a year and we absolutely adore the childcare centre and pre-school.

    There has never been a day we have had any concern about dropping her off as she is consistently so cheerful and eager to get in and have another enjoyable-filled day. Would could not rate the practitioners highly enough. Their professionalism and commitment to the babies’ development is evident. We are consistently kept well informed with daily reports. We couldn’t hesitate to suggest this childcare centre. Thank you highly much to the fantastic practitioners at Rafa Kidz Digby. Our daughter has been a member of the baby room since January 2021.

    He has loved his time in the baby room and toddler room. The educators are fantastic with the kids, consistently providing engaging activities and communicating with parents. We sense secure leaving our son with them. Our son has been attending RAFA KIDZ for a year and a half.

    They welcome everyone regardless of race or colour. They teach the kids well and help them in every activity and make sure they all participate. I am particularly pleased with my kid’s development. Educators and all team have been amazingly supportive and welcoming.

    Our eldest has been there from almost 1 year old and will be moving up to preschool soon, he is sometimes upset going in but I am reassured each time and sent messages to let me know he is fine. We know both our boys delight in their time there and get excited when we talk about their days and show pictures on the app. The team are consistently there not only to make sure the kids are OK but there for us too. I personally was highly worried about how our youngest would settle and had many conversations running up to him starting 9 months ago, he got a certificate to say how well he had done in his 1st week and I would say going by the pictures from his room he likes to think he rules the roost in there! The food is healthy and varied, our youngest eats things there he doesn’t at home! They’re consistently doing incredible activities and discovering so much and most importantly to us are highly cheerful there. Both our boys go to RAFA Kidz Digby and we can not praise them enough.

    It’s such a relief to know that I’m sending my kids somewhere that they are cheerful to go to and visibly delight in themselves when you see them through the window or in the playtime areas.
    The practitioners are all fantastic and approachable. We are kept up to date weekly on how the kids are doing and what activities they have been up to with photos via the new family app. We can communicate with the team as needed face to face, via phone and the app with what we do out of childcare centre or if we’ve any issues/changes etc.
    The food is healthy and varied and changed termly, which the parents are involved in the menu options.
    The baby room sends a weekly book home, which is a fab idea too! I’ve two kids in the setting now and have been using RAFA Kidz Digby since Jan 2021.

    They send weekly messages with details of what they have been doing that week with pictures, so you sense involved in what they do.
    They also send termly reports on your kid’s development so you know if there are any areas to be worked on at home.
    All the team are truly welcoming and management respond to any queries quickly. My son moved to this childcare centre from another and the team were excellent at helping him settle in.

    She is consistently smiling when I pick her up. Consistently kept up to date with her day’s activities. The team are incredible, so much kindness and care which makes leaving her so much easier. Thank you all. From a highly shy lockdown baby to a confident chatty toddler RAFA Kidz Digby has been incredible on my little one’s journey.

    The team have consistently been incredible and no question is ever too much, they made his transition from childcare centre to preschool highly easy too! He loves all the activities they put on and it is lovely to see the weekly update on what they have been doing that week. It is a lovely little preschool and the way he runs to the team in the morning says it all for me! Rafa Kids was the first childcare centre we sent our son to and he has loved it from day 1!

    He consistently leaves with a massive smile on his face and quite often doesn’t want to leave at all, which for me speaks volumes. The practitioners are super lovely and highly well‑informed. The team in the baby room are incredible with our kid and consistently seems to give excellent updates and keep us posted with what he has been getting up to. There also seems to be a excellent improvement in updates via the social media pages and the online journal since the new manager has started. Please keep this up as it has made a huge difference. We are truly cheerful with the development our kid is making in the baby room and would definitely suggest the setting to others who are looking for a childcare centre in the area. My little one absolutely loves coming to this childcare centre.

    As first time parents, it was a daunting journey sending your kid to childcare centre, however, the team here are incredible. And the whole process was seamless, filling us with the utmost self‑assurance. Most days our little girl barely says goodbye to us before she runs through the door, and that is down to the professionalism and engagement of all the practitioners. They are kept fully engaged throughout the day and we have seen our little girl develop in leaps and bounds. The engagement with parents is also remarkable, we get to see everything that the kids have been up to on a day-to-day basis, from what they’ve eaten, what activities they have enjoyed and any key observations that have been made. There outdoor playtime facilities are also highly great, new and modern, and rain or shine they get the kids outside! We’re glad our little one is here and we couldn’t thank you all enough! My partner and I have a little girl in RAFA Kidz Childcare centre who has been attending since Oct 21 from the age of nine months.

    At first, I was a little nervous as to how he would settle in a new setting as he is so young however I was soon put at ease by the fantastic team at Rafa Kidz and I saw how easy he settled and how cheerful he is every day! The activities the childcare centre do each day are remarkable and I doubt there is ever a dull moment! The exceptional updates with the childcare centre and the setting itself is why I’d highly suggest this setting! My little boy started at Rafa Kidz Digby last year after previously attending another setting.

    Our daughter has attended on a part-time basis since the age of 20 months, she is so cheerful here and consistently attends/comes home smiling.

    Lots of updates with updates of what the kids have been up to, lots of messy playtime and they consistently get to go outside come rain or shine. All the kids look cheerful and engaged when I walk past the childcare centre or I see them on a trip around the camp. Highly welcoming childcare centre with team who obviously care about the kids.

    The ladies there are truly lovely and truly helped him settle in well when he was anxious to start with. The setting itself is full of enjoyable things for the kids to do, lots of truly excellent activities done daily with regular updates via an app. My son loves attending now and loves the ladies who look after him. He also has his meals there and the food offered is consistently nutritious and varied. Highly suggest this childcare centre for your little one! A fantastic childcare centre, my son has been going for a few months now.

    We know that our daughter is well looked after by the team and stimulated by all of the different enjoyable activities they do each day. This is a excellent childcare centre setting and I adore how we get updated throughout the day on what they eat and when they nap. I would definitely suggest this childcare centre! Our daughter absolutely loves going to RAFA Kidz Digby childcare centre and her development has been incredible since she started childcare centre almost a year ago.
