Extremely happy with the nursery! My little one has settled well and is now excited to come to nursery. He has learned new signs which I am very impressed by. He does many exciting activities on the days he is in and always comes home happy!

My child has settled in well and loves coming and never wants to go home. The staff are so lovely and very welcoming. My child is very looked after and wouldn't want my child going anywhere else. Love that I get updates on my little one's day.

Lovely nursery. My daughter started in Sept 2025 and has settled in really well. She is thriving and we never have any problems with her not wanting to go in. Fantastic.

Review of RAFAKidz Brize Norton from Harry L (Father of Child) published on 6 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our daughter has been attending this nursery since she was just six months old, and I can honestly say it has been one of the best decisions we've made as parents.
From the very beginning, the staff have been exceptional. They are attentive, nurturing, and genuinely invested in every child's wellbeing and development. It's clear that they don't just see this as a job - they truly care. Our daughter absolutely loves going in each day and has thrived in their care. The bonds she has formed with the team speak volumes about the warmth and consistency they provide.
She attends four full days a week, and we have complete confidence in the support, structure, and encouragement she receives. The communication with parents is excellent, and we're always kept informed about her progress, activities, and achievements.

Thank you to Bunnies and Ivy for all you have done for our little girl.

Review of RAFAKidz Brize Norton from C J (Mother of Child) published on 4 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We have had two children at RAFA Kidz Brize Norton and have been part of the setting for over 3.5 years. During that time, we have consistently been impressed with the care and support provided. Both of our children have been incredibly happy there and have grown so much in confidence. It's been wonderful to see how comfortable and secure they feel each day. The staff are kind, caring, and genuinely invested in the children's development and wellbeing. The nursery provides a wide range of engaging and creative activities, helping the children learn through play while developing important social and life skills. Communication with parents is also excellent, which gives us real peace of mind.

Overall, we truly cannot fault the nursery and would highly recommend it to all our friends. It has been a fantastic experience for our family.

Review of RAFAKidz Brize Norton from E E (Mother of Child) published on 12 February 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I have been using Rafa Kidz Brize Norton since 2023 for my eldest daughter and now for my youngest. Both girls have thrived in Rafa Kidz care and throughly enjoyed/enjoy their time within the nursery. Staff are always welcoming and friendly which puts my mind at ease that my children are both happy and cared for. Meals are great and variety is always offered and menus updated weekly. Management staff are always approachable and make time to talk to parents when needed and also very hands on with the children which is great to see.

Review of RAFAKidz Brize Norton from Anneliese T (Mother of Child) published on 11 February 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I would like to say a huge thank you to the entire Ivy team. They do an absolutely incredible job every single day. The care, enthusiasm, and dedication they show truly shines through in everything they do.
The variety of activities on offer is fantastic and has been amazing for building confidence through learning and play. I love that the children are encouraged to spend time outdoors - Forest School always looks like so much fun and such a valuable experience.
The regular updates through the family app are wonderful and really help me feel connected to my child's day. It's lovely to see Morgan exploring, learning, and interacting so happily with other children.

The food offering is also outstanding, with such a great variety of nutritious meals. I couldn't be happier with the care and support provided, and I'm so grateful to the Ivy team for everything they do.

Review of RAFAKidz Brize Norton from Alexandra N (Mother of Child) published on 9 February 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our daughter is very happy at the RAFA Pre-school, and looks forward to going everyday. There is a robust developmental programme in place and the pre-school lead is clearly invested in planning, delivery and communication of activities. We get very thorough daily and weekly reviews (including photos) in the app, so we are very well appraised of the kids's activities. All the staff are polite and knowledgeable and clearly care for the children. We have had very few toileting accidents since starting pre-school and our daughter eats well. Her vocabulary improves every day, and we can tell from the way she speaks that the staff speak to her with kindness, affection and consistency.

What a wonderful nursery with a wonderfully supportive team. We are so grateful to RAFAKidz Brize Norton and their dedication to provide the best care to help our son thrive.
Our son is happy to attend each day and clearly gets joy and key learning experiences out of his time there. His language has come on exceptionally well and I am truly grateful to nursery, particularly Natasha, Sarah, Katie & Laura.

My Son attends RAFA Kidz Pre-School and it's clear to see how much he is thriving there. The staff are caring, supportive and provide excellent communication as to my son's development. The Pre-school chef, Lisa is an absolute star and the variety of meals provided is outstanding.

I cannot overstate how impressed with the whole pre-school set up. Keep up the outstanding work!

Review of RAFAKidz Brize Norton from C B (Mother of Child) published on 7 February 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Such a lovely setting with the most kind, caring and attentive staff.
My little girl has attended this setting for the past 12 months and has loved every room she has been a part of and all the staff within.

All rooms make a conscious effort to think of new and creative ways to enhance the children's learning, fun and enjoyment. The management take the time to always greet you on a morning and make themselves available if needed and thorough updates are consistently provided through the app from all staff. I would 100% recommend RAFA Kidz Brize Norton to any parent who was considering this setting for their child.

Amazing nursery with equally amazing staff. All the staff are incredibly helpful patient and kind, I couldn't choose a better place for my son. They always keep me up to date with everything to do with my child and have a brilliantly diverse menu that they feed him daily. They also ensure safety is a priority at all times which makes me feel incredibly comfortable leaving him in their care day to day.

My daughter absolutely loves attending nursery at RAFA Kids Brize Norton. The staff are so friendly and amazing with the little ones. You can tell they really care and put a lot of effort into making sure the little ones get the care they need and have a great day. They do a great mix of indoor and outdoor activities and my daughter is always so excited when she turns up there ready to start her day. The staff are amazing at keeping us updated on her throughout the day (meals, milk, naps etc) and also give a more In-depth report about her progress throughout the year. I would highly recommend RAFA Kids Brize Norton. It is a wonderful nursery.
