Review from Daniel S (Father of Child) published on 22 January 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our daughter started Rafa Kidz Digby in May 2024. Since then her confidence has soared and we've seen her grow from a baby into a happy, thriving little toddler. We had some concerns over our daughter's walking development however the team at Digby fully supported both us as first time parents and our daughter and now she's walking all over the place. She often goes into nursery smiling and comes out naming all of the staff in her room and even asks for them at weekends. She has settled in so well at Digby and we cant wait to see how she progresses more during her time there.

Overall Experience

The staff at RAFA Kidz Digby are brilliant. They are caring and nurturing, and have provided an extremely pleasant environment for our son all the way from the Baby room to the Toddler room. All the children's days are meticulously planned from play to arts and crafts, singing and other activities to help their early years development. We have complete confidence in this nursery as parents. Importantly, our son loves going which is a testament to the safe and welcoming environment they have fostered. Thank you! And keep it up!

Overall Experience

Cannot thank RAFA Digby enough for being such an amazing first nursery for my little boy. He learns so much, and comes home with a bursting vocabulary. He's had a couple issues with allergies and the nursery and the staff have been so accommodating and helpful, it's made the process so much easier. The staff are always happy and welcoming, and my little one is always excited to go into school. Between the patience of the staff, to the hard work they do and the lovely homemade food, there isn't a better nursery I would choose!

We love RAFA Kidz Digby. My child is always happy to come in, he talks about playing in the sand every day so he is encouraged to do what he likes. He tells me about other activities and I am also updated every week through the app. My child speaks positively about staff members. I feel communication is great!

Review from Shara N (Mother of Child) published on 14 January 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We have been using RAFA Kidz for our children for 5 years. My daughter started in the baby room and now is in wrap-around before and after school. My son has moved from the baby room to the toddlers. Both of my children have thrived at RAFA Kidz, the care, love and support they have been shown by staff has been incredible.
RAFA Kidz staff have helped with all kinds of things, from deployment support, getting rid of dummies, and potty training.

My daughter was very shy when she started and now she's very socially able and confident. Thank you RAFA Kidz, we are so grateful to have such a wonderful nursery on camp.

Overall Experience

Our son has been with Rafa Kidz, Digby since he was 9 months old, he is now turning 2 and enjoying it now as much as ever. The early years staff really supported him with his developmental stages. Such as feeding, naps, and gross motor skills. His language and understanding have come on so far but very early on he was able to sign for please and thank you. We have been very pleased with everything and our son runs into nursery every morning.

Review from M D (Mother of Child) published on 1 August 2024 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

We moved my son here due to a job change and although anxious about it now it would affect him, all staff were hugely reassuring. His key worker was fabulous from the start, and made his transition period so much easier for all of us. He was clearly unsettled and unsure at first, but every effort was made to ensure he felt comfortable and enjoyed his time. He is such a content boy when he's in nursery now, and has a great relationship with all of the staff. The nursery is really well run and staff are fantastic. The whole setting is amazing, and each day is exciting for my son, I wouldn't want more.

Review from Bethany S (Mother of Child) published on 15 July 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our daughter has been attending this nursery for around 3 months and found the transition upsetting at first but with the support of the lovely staff, she quickly settled in. She now loves going to nursery and especially enjoys spending time in the amazing outdoor space. The staff are always friendly and the communication is good. The meals offered are nutritious and have been adapted to suit our daughter's allergies. We would highly recommend RAFA Kidz Digby.

Overall Experience

A lovely nursery, all staff are friendly and welcoming, appear good with children. My little girl has so much fun. I love the fact there is an outdoor play area so the children are outside a lot of the time which is great for their learning. There is always activities to help with their development. Very happy with my child here and know she is safe while I am working.

Review from Lois O (Mother of Child) published on 10 June 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
The provision of care is excellent.
My children are provided with a range of exciting activities and opportunities each day, the learning resources made available are of high quality and constantly updated. The level of knowledge, expertise and skill within the practitioners employed is evident, they care for and support my children throughout their ongoing development. We have found all staff to be approachable and friendly, always receptive to any questions we have and work closely with us to introduce new routines for our children if we need to. RAFA Kidz also continue to improve their own facilities by bidding for funding, something I believe really sets them apart from other providers. They continually invest in both children, staff and infrastructure!
The menu is superb, the chef having full control over the meal provision was very important to me and my children are provided high-quality meals.

They are fairly priced for the incredible care they give!

He loves going to nursery playing outside with his friends and going to the gym.

Review from T G (Father of Child) published on 21 May 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Excellent nursery - very impressed with the support and care staff provide. We are a non-military family but feel very welcomed to the RAFA Kids Nursery. From the moment our son signed up, we knew we had made the right decision to place him at this nursery. He has been in the baby room for a year (staff were brilliant), he has now been in toddler room 5 weeks (staff are brilliant). There has been a noticeable change in our son's development even in the last 5 weeks. Staff are friendly and approachable, facilities are excellent and there are lots of opportunities for our son to get involved in.

My child loves going to nursery every day. The staff are all so very helpful and open to going that step further each and every day to help my child with anything that she may need extra help with. If we are trying new things at home they will always carry it on and give me advice and ideas where needed.

Review from Madyson A (Mother of Child) published on 29 February 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

This nursery is really amazing. They go above and beyond to make sure that the children are doing activities every day to keep the children engaged, learning and having fun. They take them outdoors often and take them on little mini trips around the area. I'm also really impressed with the daily updates that my daughter's classroom puts out. She goes two days a week right now, but so far there hasn't been a week where I haven't seen several pictures of her going through her day playing and doing activities. We are very appreciative of the teachers and staff here for taking such good care of our girl.

Review from N K (Mother of Child) published on 24 October 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Professional and caring staff. They do loads of activities with the children. They actually use an app that notifies me of naps, nappy changes, what and how much children eat, and admin things. They do a weekly roll up that discusses what they did throughout the week that includes photos, which is really nice. They also do individual child observations for the parents to let them know how their child is doing, which I really like. They need to update the pictures on here as their outside area is far nicer than this now.

Review from Alexis R (Mother of Child) published on 11 October 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

When my husband and I decided it was time to send our daughter to nursery for a couple days a week I was hesitant. She is our first and I was nervous about trusting that others would take care of her how I would at home. My worries were quickly squashed as I saw my girl absolutely thrive in the care of these wonderful ladies. They are so loving and work so hard to create an environment where these little ones learn through engaging activities. The communication is fantastic and the food is wonderful and nutritious. I cannot say enough wonderful things about this nursery.
