Day Nurseries Owned by RAFAKidz in Northumberland

We feel incredibly lucky to be part of such a lovely nursery community and couldn't be happier with our experience.

I love sending my girls to rafakidz, my eldest child is now fully potty trained and is coming along really well with writing her own name, also my youngest has recently started and she loves it. The girls are all so caring and always give 100% care and support to all the families they provide for

My daughter started the nursery in July, we went for a tour, and from the moment we walked through the doors she ran in! I was so shocked, as at her previous nursery she would cry at every drop off.

It took a lot for me to send her to nursery, she has severe allergies and has eczema, and I felt I would struggle to trust someone else to provide her with the care she needs. But I so glad I sent her to Rafa KIDZ Boulmer. She loves it there and I have never felt so comfortable leaving her, I get updates all the time showing what she's been up to, they apply her creams every day and she has never had an allergic reaction at the nursery, as they have a brilliant system in place. My daughter absolutely loves the nursery! every day she comes out we ask her how her day was and she says "nice brilliant nursery!" which sums it up so nicely. Thank you so much to the Rafa KIDZ team!

I'm so happy with my experience of having a child at RAFA kidz boulmer so far, the staff are incredible and go the extra mile, I get regular updates, my son is so happy to attend nursery on a Tuesday and Thursday and I would recommend to anyone looking for a nursery placement. The staff take the kids out daily and all the meals are healthy too which I love.

We couldn't be happier with this nursery! Our son is so happy to be there every day, which gives us complete peace of mind. The staff are absolutely wonderful and thoroughly involved with him, always making sure he is engaged and well-cared for. He also seems to love the food there! Since starting, he is coming on great with his development and learning. The app they use is also great and makes keeping in touch so easy. We are incredibly grateful to the team for creating such a supportive, fun, and nurturing environment.

The nursery is efficiently run, welcoming, caring. Activities are varied, imaginative, enjoyable. Staff are thoughtful, approachable, lovely. Management is efficient, well trained, hard working. Lessons are choesive, imaginative & effective. Overall an ideal nursery and one I recommend wholeheartedly.

Amazing little nursery. My little boy has been going since sept 2025 and he loves it. All the staff are brilliant and always fantastic with my son. He goes in very happy and comes out very happy. I love the updates throughout the day. Couldn't recommend them more.

The girls at Rafa Kidz Boulmer have created such a loving, safe and nurturing environment, for all children that attend their center. The staff take time to learn each child as an individual and to create strong bonds. My daughter talks about her key workers on a daily basis, even refusing to let me do her hair and will wait for the staff at nursery to do it for her. The learning through play environment is carefully thought through, to ensure all children are able to access age appropriate activities. My daughter is thriving and is safe in this setting, by reading her body language and communicate with staff. The staff go above and beyond to make parents and children feel comfortable. This is reflective in the strong bonds staff form with the children. Words are always followed through with action and I'm so lucky such a practice exists in the community.

Great experience at RAFA Kidz in Longhoughton. My daughter has been going here for over a year now and has come on so much in her confidence, speech and development. I could not recommend them enough. The staff have gone over and above to accommodate her.

My daughter has been with nursery for a few months now and she is doing amazing although she can't talk she shows she loves nursery how fast she runs through the door without a second thought. Staff have always been brilliant never feel like your hand over is rushed always happy with their feedback. She eats well and seems to enjoy all her meals always take safety seriously and remind families to update all information regularly. Overall myself and her dad are very happy with choosing RafaKidz and look forward to watching her grow here.

The staff here are absolutely excellent, the care they show the children and their families is outstanding. Nothing is too much trouble, they have been extremely supportive. Very informative handovers when collecting my little one and great communication in general. Meal choices are a great variety for the children to try and the menu is displayed for parents to see.

This nursery is absolutely outstanding. The staff are approachable caring and understanding. The setting is beautiful. They do fantastic activities. My child has came on leaps and bounds coming to Rafa Kidz Boulmer. The confidence he has brown, his speech has improved and gross motor skills have improved his physiotherapist is really impressed! We will be very sad when the time comes for our child to move settings we wished he could stay there forever! I highly recommend this nursery to everyone who asks what nursery my child goes to.

RAFA Kidz in Longhoughton is fantastic. All of the team have been super friendly and professional and our son loves his time here. The app is updated with photos regularly so we know what our child has been doing, and always a friendly handover talking about all the great things they've been doing. Communication is really good from the team. I highly recommend this nursery!

We are so grateful for the support and kindness the staff show every day, and we couldn't be happier with the care he receives.

My little girl attends the nursery and my son goes to the holiday club with her. He loves going and constantly asks when he can go next. The girls are great there with him and I know he's gaving the most fun day and amazing care.

Both my boys attended RAFA Kidz nursery and I couldn't have hoped for a better environment for them to have experienced at such a young age. Starting with the staff, each and every member was named by my boys at some stage, always in a positive light. They obviously had their favourites, staff who'd perhaps gone above and beyond to make sure they felt heard, cared for but most importantly, safe. The nursery always showcased a number of activities which I could see via the App with daily/weekly photo updates. The staff always made time to update the app with what they had got up to, as well as providing reflective educational journals on specific activities. It would be great to see them out in the local area, making trinkets to bring home or just having fun with the facilities indoors and out. The key thing for me, was that I knew the boys were safe at all times. The management staff were excellent, flexible and always kept me up to date with what was going on. The boys loved RAFA Kidz

My daughter has been going to the nursery for over 1 yr now has loved every minute. More often than not she'll be saying on the way home that she wants to go back, always excited to see the other kids and staff. Highly recommended.

My little girl started RAFA Kidz in January 2026. Since starting we have seen a massive difference in her which is brilliant. The staff are lovely and I feel like she is in the best hands. Thank you so much to all the staff :)

Our little girl has been attending RAFA Kidz Boulmer since April 2025. She was 10 months old when she first attended the setting. She has thrived in the care of the staff at RAFA Kidz. All staff members are approachable and friendly, they all know our little girl on a one to one basis, forming strong relationships with her. She runs into nursery every morning to see the staff and her friends. Each pick up she turns back to cuddle the member of staff who passes her over. We are grateful for everything the staff do at the nursery for our little girl and I confident that she will keep thriving in their care with the opportunities they give her and the nurturing setting it is.
