Review of RAFAKidz Shawbury from Georgia L (Mother of Child) published on 21 July 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our experience with RAFA Kidz Shawbury has been fantastic since the beginning. I was extremely apprehensive putting my 10 month old in almost full time while I went back to work. I was instantly made to feel better by all the Starlings room staff. With regular updates through the app and replying to my messages after upsetting drop offs. My daughter gets a huge variety of foods that I wouldn't have thought to make her at home. I am so grateful to all the lovely staff for settling my mind and giving me a shoulder to cry on when I've needed it!

Reply from Rebecca Morgan, Deputy Manager at RAFAKidz Shawbury

Overall Experience

My daughter has been at RAFA Kidz Cosford for almost a month and I am incredibly impressed with everything so far. Admin communication has been helpful in regards to days requested. The staff are caring and passionate about child development. The safeguarding measures in place are reassuring for any parent. On every collection so far my daughter has been happy and I've had an informative handover. They also use the app to update you on their and including a weekly update on activities they have done hitting all the criteria in the early years education.

Review of RAFAKidz Cosford from Tarisai Mellisa P (Mother of Child) published on 7 February 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son has recently started at RAFA Kidz Cosford. Such a smooth transition into nursery. From the registration, settling in sessions and to starting at nursery. The staff are extremely supportive and are very quick to respond. I have recently started work and have felt at ease leaving my baby at this nursery. He has been there briefly and already he has matured very much, getting more confident with saying a few words and his play and interactions have improved.

Reply from Rachael Roden, Nursery Manager at RAFAKidz Cosford

Thank you for your comments. We are pleased to hear that we have the transition for both you and your baby into our nursery has been a positive and supportive experience. Our aim is to make the transition into starting nursery as smooth as possible for both the child and their parents/carer.

Review of RAFAKidz Cosford from Maria C (Mother of Child) published on 7 February 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
After being let down from two childminders we were stressing about finding somewhere for our twin boys, we contacted RAFA to see if they had any availability and contacted us back very quickly to say they would be able to fit us in. We had a viewing within a week or so and knew straight away that this would be the most perfect place for our boys to attend.
We had two settling in days before they started, we were so amazed by the place.
They have been attending since September 2024 and they absolutely love the place and we do also.
Everyone is so welcoming and nice, it's so comforting for us to know we can leave the boys and they will have the best time.

They have both come along so much with such little time spent there already and we can't thank the team enough for all they do for us.

Reply from Rachael Roden, Nursery Manager at RAFAKidz Cosford

Thank you for your comments. We love having your children at nursery and appreciate your lovely comments about the team.

Review of RAFAKidz Cosford from C J (Mother of Child) published on 7 February 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

RAFA Kidz Cosford is a beautiful nursery, I had a lot of anxiety about sending my son to nursery as he is only 11 months old but they really put you at ease. I love reading the updates of what he gets up to while he is there and seeing the photos, he always looks so happy. All the staff are so amazing and so caring. Sending my son to RAFA Kidz was definitely the best decision I have made for my son as I know he is well looked after and developing well I can't recommend this nursery enough.

Reply from Rachael Roden, Nursery Manager at RAFAKidz Cosford

Thank you for your comments. I am pleased to hear that we have put your anxiety at ease and that staff update's about your child supports you to see what your little one is involved in whilst they are at nursery.

My daughter has been with RAFA Kidz Cosford since she was 8 months old and she has come on so much with the support of the staff and her key workers. They are supportive, reassuring and keep you updated with everything going on. Nothing is too much. I was so worried about her going so young but I am now so glad I did it.

My son has been attending Rafa Kidz Cosford since late August 2024, he is so happy to go each day, he always enters the room with a smile.

Overall Experience
I can not speak highly enough of RAFA KIDZ Shawbury. The ladies there have looked after both my boys from babies to pre-school and every aspect has been amazing.
The bonds each of my boys has built are more than anything you could wish for with the staff and the friends they have made.
I always know when I have left them at nursery and if they are upset or unsettled that they are OK and being well looked after.

Brilliant nursery brilliant staff and an overall brilliant nursery

Reply from Rebecca Morgan, Deputy Manager at RAFAKidz Shawbury

Overall Experience

I have 2 sons that both attend the nursery and it's wonderful to know they're in good hands while we're working. Staff are friendly and happy to help with any inquiry my eldest was so shy and reluctant to join in at first but the girls have really brought him out of his shell and made him so comfortable to be himself.

Reply from Rebecca Morgan, Deputy Manager at RAFAKidz Shawbury

Our second child now in this nursery, other than a change of name there isn't much difference. The staff are still amazing and friendly and they have made our youngest child's first day very easy. Great facilities and great to see the updates through the day on the app. We are very happy we get to use this nursery again.

Review of RAFAKidz Shawbury from H C (Mother of Child) published on 8 November 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Brilliant staff who build strong relationships with the kids - my son gets excited at drop off once he sees staff members he recognises. I am very grateful for their excellent care. Varied activities that are inventive and creative and seem great for development.
Lunches seem good, room for improvement with breakfast & tea but I'm

aware this is being worked on. Ultra-processed foods & desserts (apart from fruit & natural yogurt) should be removed as far as possible.

Reply from Rebecca Morgan, Deputy Manager at RAFAKidz Shawbury

Thank you so much for your glowing review, we are very positive about the wholesome and nutritious food we want to offer to our children, as we really do want them to have the best start in their early life, so for us as a setting getting our Menu right inline with our RAFAKidz values is definitely a big positive achievement for us.

Review of RAFAKidz Shawbury from A F (Father of Child) published on 8 November 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son started here in October this year, on his first day, he was understandably a bit nervous to be away from mum and dad for the first time when we dropped him off. The staff though were brilliant with him, we got regular updates on his progress throughout the day and great feedback when we picked him up. By the end of the week, he was loving nursery, eating well, and really settled in. The activities are great and he's learning loads and developing his social skills with the other babies there. Great facility with friendly and welcoming staff.

Reply from Rebecca Morgan, Deputy Manager at RAFAKidz Shawbury

Thank you so much for your fabulous review. We are really pleased to hear your child has settled so well into Nursery Life. It's amazing to be such a big part of their big journey! Thanks for Choosing RAFAKidz Shawbury.

We love Shawbury Rafa Kidz! Our daughter went there up until August when she started school and it really helped to shape her as a person and she grew in confidence so much, especially in pre-school. Our son now goes there and I can't fault it. They have lovely playgrounds, and caring, kind staff who know all the kids on a personal level and we always get updates and pictures. the staff are the best of the best and make an effort to get to know every parent by name and always have time for a chat! Thank you Shawbury Rafa Kidz.

Overall Experience

Both of my children attend this nursery and love it. It is such a relief dropping our boys off knowing they are very well looked after with a great range of daily activities, what I also love is that we are continually updated throughout the day and can see what they have been up to. The staff have been great in supporting us with our eldest who is currently potty training and has really helped with his journey and can't do enough to support this. Great job to all the staff at Rafa Kidz Cosford!
