RAFA Kidz Boscombe Down

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This review is for the last 2 years where my child has been attending the setting.
The team across the board are fantastic, they have been the perfect environment for my child to develop and she is far better for it. I dropped her off every morning feeling safe and secure for my child's time there,
and at every pick up they would be so excited to share what they got up to.
Highly recommend RAFA Kidz Boscombe Down to any and all around!

My daughter has attended RAFA Kidz Boscombe Down for 2 years. In that time she has blossomed into an amazing, kind, intelligent kid. The staff at the nursery have been heavily involved in her learning, processing skills and moulding her into the child she has become. She always goes into nursery and
home buzzing, she's so happy to be there and loves every second. We could not be more pleased or grateful for all that the staff have done and helped with and are absolutely gutted to be leaving. They have been so kind, loving, and supportive of her every step of the way and we really can't imagine a better place to have sent our child.
Reply from Kathleen Tennant, Manager at RAFA Kidz Boscombe Down
Thank you for such a wonderful review, It was a pleasure to look after her and I hope you all have a amazing time in your new home.

My son attended RAFA Kidz from the age of 7 months old, throughout his time he has been loved and cared for as though he was family.
The communication with parents is amazing, I have been fully informed of his day throughout and received a comprehensive handover upon collection. My son never showed
any apprehension about going in of a morning, and never wanted to leave.
The staff show the greatest of respect for parents, and have gone above and beyond to support with feeding, toileting and behaviour queries.
I would highly recommend the nursery to anyone and have recommended it several times within the local community.
I'm so glad I chose the setting and leaving was a gut wrenching task!
Amazing setting and amazing staff! I'd give it 10 stars if I could.

The staff are amazing, my son attended another nursery and found it so hard to settle I removed him in the end. Since starting at RAFA Kidz Boscombe Down, I have seen his confidence grow, all the staff are so friendly and supportive and I feel like I'm dropping him off at a friend's house to play. I
feel as though they actually want to get know him and care for my son's well-being and not just doing a job. The Chinook room reminds me of the reception classroom at my eldest son's school, a range of planned activities for learning and play and such a variety of toys. The outside space is large and has so much to do and play with, bikes and trikes, sand pit, mud kitchen, different things to climb. In my opinion one of the best nurseries in the area, and although my son still gets upset at drop off, I'm confident that the staff genuinely care for his happiness and are so personable I can go off the work without that sinking mum guilt!

My son absolutely loves going to nursery. I was nervous after having him at a childminder in a smaller environment but I wish I had put him in sooner. He has thrived since joining. The communication received daily from the nursery is amazing and of course a catch-up every pick up on his day. The staff
are all so lovely and I personally couldn't recommend Rafa Kidz enough. We will be gutted when September comes and it's time for school as he enjoys his days here so much!

My son loves going to RAFA Kidz Boscombe Down. He's made friends there and loves and trusts the staff as do I. They know him, know his likes, dislikes and nurture him whilst I'm away from him during the working day. He's learned and developed so much in their care. I recommend RAFA Kidz Boscombe to
anyone looking for childcare with staff you can trust.

RAFA Kidz Boscombe Down has provided excellent care to my daughter when she started at 7 months old. They have nurtured and developed her as she has weaned and grown over the last 6 months. Her key person is outstanding and truly cares for her well-being. She loves going to nursery and smiles every
day at drop-off. I couldn't recommend the nursery enough.

I really rate RAFA Kidz Boscombe Down. Since they took over, there has been a great deal of investment in new resources like the kitchen, tablet, new toys and activities that enhance the experience for my daughter. My daughter has been very happy in the setting for almost 3 years now and has been so
well looked after by the team. Many of them have watched her grow from a baby into a confident young girl ready to take on school. I feel happy knowing she is so well cared for and supported by all of the team.

We have had a great experience since switching nurseries to Rafa Kidz. The hours work very well to suit our work commitments. The staff are brilliant and I've noticed our children's confidence grow, they are always very happy to go in and see their friends.

My little brother started Rafa Kidz in Sept. It was his first time properly being away from Mum and Dad outside of family members. The staff looked after him so well. Lots of cuddles reading him stories and singing his favourite nursery rhymes to help him settle! The friendly, welcoming staff allayed
my fears as I was more worried than my Mum and Stepdad! Now he carries his water bottle in and knows where to put his bag and coat. He talks about playing with his friends every day, their names, and what they played - great speaking for a 2-year-old.
I know my Mum appreciates the app with the learning journey and being able to message the staff with pertinent information, ask questions and find out nursery news.
They have a fantastic management team who guide the rest of the team. A lovely nursery with excellent staff, great resources- I love the natural, wooden resources inside. It feels homely and snug.

RAFA Kidz Boscombe Down is a wonderful nursery. My children have attended over a few years and my youngest currently attends.
The staff are so lovely, and I know he is well cared for a loved one by everyone there (even when he has his grumpy moments!).
Going home at the end of the day is the worst
part of my son's day. Every activity they plan out, all the toys and books available, the garden to play in, he has so much fun. The photos and updates on things he's eaten and done during the day are lovely to look at when I'm at work.
The meals and food provided are amazing and he eats nearly everything at nursery (just wish he would at home!).
I cannot recommend this nursery enough. Thank you to all the staff and management that make this place so wonderful.

Staff are so friendly and are absolutely fantastic with the children. Always very helpful with any developmental stages with the children. The meals have anyway been nutritious and somehow they are able to convince toddlers to try new food that they would never eat at home.

Lovely nursery with staff who genuinely care for the children. They develop the children and staff well. I notice the younger staff have gained a lot of confidence from the older experienced staff.

Our daughter loves it here and is in Spitfires. The staff are always so welcoming and you can tell that they genuinely care, especially 3 in particular. When I arrive to pick up it's lovely to see all the staff getting involved including management. The feedback I have received at pick-up is always
honest and they're never too busy to discuss your child. Our daughter attends every day and every day when I pick up she looks just as happy as the day before. The best part is she always looks like she's had fun!! They have access to outside space and a beautiful spacious neutral room which isn't overwhelming. Information about the day is all on an easy-to-use app (nappy changes, food, etc). Having had antibiotics administered to her during her nursery day I've seen paperwork to be accurate and easily accessible. We've had many chances to get involved in what they're doing at nursery for example family photos. A real caring and trustworthy team of ladies. 100% recommended!

My little boy loves attending Rafa Kidz. The care and nurturing he receives is second to none. He loves spending time with his friends and enjoys all the lovely activities. He has learnt and developed so much. He is clearly thriving in the space and environment. The setting is beautiful and has a very
spacious outdoor space with loads to explore that my little one loves. The team provides the best care and is a lovely bunch that gives a home feeling.

We've always had a really positive experience at this nursery. Our kids are well looked after and cared for by the staff there, who come across as genuinely invested and committed. The management team are always very professional and take the time to listen to us and share any updates and changes. Our
