July 25, 2017 at 12:00 amBoth of my children have attended this nursery from 15 months to school age. I have had nothing but a positive experience and would highly recommend. Both of my children have come on leaps and bounds since their start at Raffles.

October 26, 2018 at 12:00 amMy son had attended Rafles nursery for 3 years. The team were very welcoming and I was kept informed at all times about my him. This made me feel very comfortable about leaving him and my son was always happy which reassured me.
He would be so excited about going to nursery, that he would even ask about whether he was going when it was the weekend. I felt that my son was leaving home and going to another home. The team are tremendous, caring and always has the child’s best interest at heart. I highly recommend Rafles nursery to family and friends.

She absolutely loves it and I’m so happy with all the staff. They are so kind, attentive, happy and one thing that’s brilliant is the food is made fresh from scratch

March 6, 2019 at 12:00 amMy son started Rafles at 10 months old.
The nursery Room made the transition going back to work so much easier than I could have ever imagined. Every member of staff shows genuine interest and care not only in our little boy but also our whole family life too.
Rafles have the perfect balance between getting the children to engage in activities and allowing them time to relax like they would do if they were at home. My child has progressed socially in the most amazing way since starting. I drop off and pick up a smiley boy who cannot wait to get out of the car each morning and see his extended family.
All staff are approachable, friendly and down to earth. Although there is a key worker system, I feel happy to speak with any member of staff and know they all have an understanding of my child’s needs equally well.
I will be forever grateful for the care they have shown both my son and myself, at such an important stage in both our lives.

March 6, 2019 at 12:00 amMy eldest son has been attending Rafles since October 2017 and my youngest son since October 2018.
The boys love it there! I would definitely recommend this nursery. All the key workers are great with the children, the management and office staff are always very accommodating and very easily contactable. All the staff are very friendly and know the children’s needs. My boys have learned so much since being there, their confidence and their learning skills have grown greatly. Excellent nursery with a great atmosphere and great staff. Excellent facilities and excellent level of care.

March 7, 2019 at 12:00 amRafles is a fantastic nursery set in beautiful surroundings.
I have 2 children attending Rafles and they are both very happy. The staff had made the transition period very easy and positive for both me and my children.
My children go into nursery very happy and it’s great to see what they are up to and what they eat via the Famly app.
Rafles do so many activities with the children and celebrate a variety of festivals and charity days and it’s great to see all the staff participate.
All the staff are professional, friendly, approachable and amazing at their work.
My children are very happy there and come out of nursery full of smiles. I would definitely recommend this nursery to anyone who is looking for a professional, friendly placement for their children.

March 7, 2019 at 12:00 amMy daughter joined in July 2018. I viewed 6 full-time nurseries across the area of Cheshunt. Upon walking into Rafles nursery, I knew this would be where I wanted my daughter to attend. The layout of the nursery being open, bright and well organised.
The nursery staff and especially my daughter’s key carer went above and beyond to ensure my daughter settled as quickly as possible. I and other family members saw a substantial improvement in my daughter’s use of numbers, colours and the grammar.
Being a full time working mum and my daughter being my only child, you can imagine she is my world and I don’t often leave her anywhere without feeling guilty of missing the day to day things. That’s why I absolutely champion the App. The staff are so good at posting updates and observations of my child that I feel I’m witnessing live in-the-moment and I also reap the benefit of being able to discuss with my daughter activities she’s taken part in during the day.
Highly Recommend!!

March 8, 2019 at 12:00 amBoth my 3-year-old son and 1-year-old daughter attend Rafles nursery.
The baby room is excellent at settling the little ones in with an excellent programme of visit sessions prior to starting and are so caring to the development and needs of the babies. The room is clean, modern and well equipped. They do an excellent range of activities.
The preschool room again is excellent and they are fully involved in supporting and developing the children. They again have a large, light and well-equipped room and a lovely garden for the children to use. They focus well on the needs of individual children.
The app is an excellent tool used by the nursery for giving information about the children’s day to parents and is updated during each day.
All staff at the nursery are excellent. They are caring and attentive to the children’s needs and very professional.
I would wholeheartedly recommend this nursery unreservedly. Well done Rafles!

March 25, 2019 at 12:00 amWe have been using Rafles Nursery and Preschool since 2015. Our experience has been a very positive one. We would definitely and have recommended to others. Both our daughters have enjoyed their time here. We have never had an issue or problems. The ladies throughout the nursery are very approachable, caring, professional and whom the children respond well to. The facilities and outside spaces are also very good. When we were looking for a nursery we were looking for a home from home environment and this is exactly what you get from the staff at Rafles. Rafles Nursery & Preschool do and have done a fabulous job in helping us bring up and teach our girls.

July 24, 2019 at 12:00 amBoth of my children attended Rafles from 9 months old. The amazing ladies from the baby room right through to preschool and including the office staff have been nothing but supportive, caring and genuinely interested in my children’s growth and development.
The thought and care that goes into the development of each child, for me, is second to none. They take a holistic approach to a child’s development and always provide different, interesting and fun learning activities every day, as well as lots of free play both inside and in their fantastic outside play area.
Rafles have helped me as a parent promote confident and happy children that are more than ready to feel secure and confident in the next stage of their learning journeys in a school environment.
My son leaves for school this month and I can’t help but feel sad that he will no longer be attending Rafles where he made great friends and had so much fun but I’m so grateful that he spent his early years here.

July 26, 2019 at 12:00 amThe nursery and the staff are outstanding. The facilities are very good. The food is freshly cooked on-site every day. The staff are absolutely amazing and love what they are doing. My son loves going there every day and he has learnt so much! I cannot recommend highly enough. I have had 2 children attend the nursery and would not go to another nursery.

March 26, 2021 at 12:00 amOverall, I have been delighted with Rafles Nursery & Preschool – Cheshunt. My son started when he was six months and is now one years old. In that time he has really thrived. The nursery room staff are excellent, they keep you well informed via the app and send you updates and photos which is kind and reassuring.His key worker is brilliant and provides updates on new skills and how he is developing. They will also do their best to work around your routine in terms of sleep and feeding. They also do a variety of activities with the children from painting to outdoor based things. When I pick up my son he is happy and has clearly been well looked after, I can’t praise them highly enough.

August 31, 2021 at 12:00 amBoth my children have attended Rafles and both loved it. The staff are so amazing and I felt so comfortable leaving my children here whilst I went to work.
I am very sad to say goodbye now my last child leaves this amazing nursery to start school.
Rafles is the best nursery around.

August 31, 2021 at 12:00 amRafles nursery is absolutely amazing! They go above and beyond to make your child’s time there the most enjoyable ever! My daughter absolutely loved her time here being excited every day knowing when she was going back, which is all you want to hear that they enjoy going, having fun but learning at the same time.
Every single week I was sent different pictures of what they had been up to and never was it ever the same. The children get lots of outdoor time exploring new things as well.
The staff are amazing always friendly, always happy, caring and very creative with all the wonderful things they do plus nothing is ever too much trouble – it’s endless.
Rafles environment is so calming with lots of space in each room plus lots of outdoor space too.
My daughter will truly miss her time at Rafles but has accomplished many milestones and created wonderful memories she can have forever. Thank you all at Rafles Nursery.

August 31, 2021 at 12:00 amMy son has been going to Rafles for the last two years and he had his last day on Friday 27th August 2021. We had the best experience with Rafles, the staff and management team are fantastic and my son looked forward to going there every day of the last 2 years. They provided him with an amazing and happy environment where he could learn and have fun. Rafles really helped him shape his young character. We highly recommend Rafles and we were sad that our son now has to move on to primary school and he made us promise him to take him back to visit them often.
Thank you so much again to the Rafles team.

September 10, 2021 at 12:00 amA parent’s love for a child is unconditional and they are the most precious things in the world to you. And to leave them when they are so young is one of the hardest things you will have to do, but leaving my child at Rafles was made easy by the love and care that all the staff showed him.
They have been an integral part of him growing into the little person he is today.
I would say to anybody considering a place here for their child/baby, as a mother I would recommend Rafles in a heartbeat.

August 8, 2022 at 12:00 amMy son has been at Rafles since he was 10 months old and he will leave at the end of August before starting primary school.
Rafles is a brilliant nursery! The staff are incredibly caring and nurturing and my son absolutely loves going there! He has built strong bonds with the staff and children there and he has really thrived, becoming confident and independent through Rafles guidance.
It’s the best nursery in this area and the outside space it affords is miles better than any other nursery I’m aware of in the area.
Don’t hesitate in placing your child at Rafles!
We will miss Rafles once my son leaves and I’d recommend it to all parents in the area.

October 14, 2022 at 12:00 amMy little one attended from 1 year old starting from the nursery room, via Lower preschool and Upper preschool. Loved all staff in every room, and the time was always nicely organised, with loads of special events. He is a picky eater and so had to bring his own lunches, but he is always encouraged to try nursery lunches and sometimes successfully he discovers new flavours. The menu is provided in advance so we can plan accordingly. The outside space is amazing and loads of it, which helps since we don’t have a garden. You can pick from different start/finish hours to make it work for you, staff and management are flexible and caring. I couldn’t recommend Rafles enough, simply an amazing place!
