Rafles Nursery & Preschool - Cheshunt

As our third & youngest child has now finished at Rafles and is ready to start school, it feels like the end of a very special chapter for our family. We have been part of the Rafles family for the past nine years. The staff are truly incredible - many of whom have been there throughout our journey - and they have cared for, supported and nurtured all three of our children with such warmth and kindness. The outdoor space is simply incomparable and has been such a wonderful part of our children's early years, giving them the freedom to explore, play and learn. In between our second and third child, we actually moved out of the area, but we continued to make the journey back to Rafles because we simply couldn't imagine sending our third child anywhere else. That probably says more than anything about how much we value the nursery. We will be incredibly sad to say goodbye, but we are so grateful for the wonderful start Rafles has given all three of our children & for all of the memories.

Rafles has been amazing all the staff are kind and caring. Bringing out your little ones personality. My little boy has just graduated this year and rafles has seen him grow since 14months old. Each room is amazing. They have been the best start for him.

All the staff work with you and keep you informed regarding any situations so you can all work together..

We thank the team at Rafles for everything.

We had the most amazing experience, my son joined from the age of 1 and has had the best time at Rafles. Every member of staff are super caring, take pride in their job and take such wonderful care of the children.

The most wonderful nursery. Forever grateful that I chose this setting for my children. Rafles are really nurturing and supportive of each individual child. My children have learnt so much and thrived in their caring and fun environment. The staff are passionate and trustworthy.

I never thought I would trust anyone to leave my children with but with Rafles I would send them in and know they are happy and safe.

Rafles is such a brilliant nursery, we feel so lucky to have been able to send both of our sons to Rafles over the past 6 years! Our youngest has started from the baby room & our eldest started from the lower pre-school room through to when he left to start Primary School a couple of years ago, and they have both been so well looked after by the incredible staff at the nursery. It's like a home from home for our boys and we couldn't be more thankful to everyone at Rafles for looking after them so well :) We would highly recommend Rafles to anyone looking for a nursery for their little one(s) x

My son has been coming to Rafles for almost 3 years now and we couldn't be happier with the level of care and attention received from Rafles. By far one of the best nurseries around. I would not hesitate to reccomend this nursery to anyone looking for a comfortable and safe environment for their children. Thank you Rafles for doing an amazing job

Rafles is an amazing nursery. From the baby room right through to the pre-school room, the staff are caring and attentive. The rooms are spacious, well equipped and there is plenty of outdoor space that the children can play in regardless of the weather. The activities are structured, varied, educational and fun which has meant my daughter has loved every moment. The food is healthy and nutritious and very tasty as my daughter always has more than one plate! Her time at Rafles has helped her grow into a happy, confident little girl who is now ready and looking forward to starting school. I couldn't have asked for a better educational start for my daughter. I cannot thank the Rafles staff enough for providing such a memorable experience. I highly recommend this nursery.

Rafles Nursery and Preschool has been truly wonderful. After a bad experience at another nursery, finding Rafles has honestly been nothing short of healing for our family. From the moment we visited Rafles for our first ever tour, we felt a complete sense of warmth, kindness and care that put us at ease and we instantly knew our boys would be safe and happy. Rafles have played a key role in our children's learning, and social and emotional development...our children have been genuinely so happy and this speaks volumes for the nursery and the staff because children are amazing little judges of characters! It puts our family at ease knowing that our children are safe, happy and thriving! We are incredibly grateful to the amazing staff whose dedication, patience and kindness has created the nurturing space that Rafles is, a true home away from home. Also, big shout out to the chef for the delicious freshly made food everyday...our boys love your food!

Rafles has been an absolute dream from the first day my child started till their last. The staff have been amazing and so caring, these ladies are lovely and always have a smile on their faces. My child has learnt so much and become so confident since being as this nursery. The settings are perfect and make the child feel at home. I'm sad to see my child go as they love it here so much. Thank you Rafles for everything keep it up.

Rafles nursery is a really wonderful environment. The staff are incredibly friendly and you can tell they put their all into every child from the moment they walk in. They are attentive and really get to know each child and their families. The range of activities is great, inside and out. The use of local parks on their doorstep is a great bonus. They send daily updates and termly reviews which is really nice to see. They have an excellent varied food menu of healthy home cooked meals. Both of my children have thrived there and I'm very happy that number three will be attending. I feel very safe in the knowledge that the staff at Rafles are looking after them.

Rafles has been a brilliant nursery and preschool for our son. The facilities are excellent. The staff are attentive and form a real relationship with the kids and parents. We're honestly sad to leave but so grateful for the experience he has had. When we were looking for nurseries cleanliness was a big factor for us and Rafles is always clean and tidy. We would recommend Rafles to anyone looking for a place for their child.

I've been involved with Rafles for the last six years, with both of my sons attending, and I can't recommend it highly enough.The nursery has played a huge role in their development, supporting every key milestone-from toilet training and brushing teeth to recognising and writing their names. Both boys have been well-prepared for school.

My youngest, who still attends and starts school in September, has kidney issues and needs to drink lots of water. The staff have been fantastic in supporting this, always attentive to his health and wellbeing. Every member of staff is warm, friendly, and genuinely caring. There's always a great mix of fun and educational activities, and we love the regular photo updates through the app. Rafles has been such a positive part of our lives and I would highly recommend this nursery to any parent.

I'd recommend this nursery to all parents looking for a fantastic early years provision for their child to flourish and begin their early education at.

The nursery itself is spacious, clean, and tidy, with a lovely outdoor area that the kids really enjoy. I wouldn't want my children to attend anywhere else. The value for money is excellent, and the opening hours are a huge help for working parents like myself.

My daughter started at the nursery at 11 months old and is now graduating. From the very beginning, it's always felt like a family. The staff are warm, caring, and genuinely nurturing - she has been loved, supported, and encouraged every step of the way. She's learned so much and grown into a confident, happy little girl. The outdoor space is lovely, and they go above and beyond to make things special - from hatching chicks and keeping them for weeks, to now having ducklings. We're so grateful for the wonderful start they've given her - it's a place full of love, learning, and joy.

I cannot recommend Rafles enough.

The team are nurturing, communicative, and clearly love what they do. I feel so reassured every day knowing my children are in such safe, supportive, and inspiring hands. It's more than just childcare - it's a foundation that sets them up for the best possible start in life.

The research they put into helping her receive the outside support and resources that she needed is the reason why she's thriving today.

Rafles truly helped myself and my daughter and we will forever be grateful!

The staff are all amazing, taking wonderful care of our little ones and providing all the education and stimulus they need to grow with a wide range of activities. We love the sports element and the chef prepares fantastic yummy homemade food. The outdoor space is amazing and used daily which we found great as our kids are so active. I looked around a few nurseries but rafles just felt like home and they didn't disappoint. I would highly recommend them and are so sad we don't have a need to be there anymore.
