About this price
How funding is applied, how the monthly figure is calculated.More info
- Working parents of children aged 9 months to 2 years can usually claim up to 30 funded hours a week. The working-parent hours depend on each parent meeting the minimum earnings rules and earning under £100,000 a year. This nursery stretches funded hours across 52 weeks of the year. You've selected 30 funded hours.
- This nursery applies up to 10 funded hours per day, stretched across 52 weeks of the year. With your selected funding, 21.9 hours are covered each week. Hours beyond this, including the early and late parts of the day, are charged at the standard rate.
- We work out the total cost across the year and divide by 12, so the figure shown is a smoothed monthly average. In practice, nurseries bill in different ways. Some bill monthly at this average. Others bill weekly, or charge for what happened that week or month, which can vary across the year. Confirm billing details with the nursery when you enquire.

RAFA Kids Digby is amazing for little ones. They are warm, welcoming, and always so helpful. The app used for the kids is really helpful and informative, too. My little one thoroughly enjoyed her time there.

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.
Thank you for your lovely review. Your feedback is much appreciated.

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.
Thank you for your lovely comments. It's so nice to hear how happy you are with our provision.

Brilliant, professional nursery. Who provides such a broad range of crafts/activities to keep children learning and entertained. My son settled so fast here and loves the brilliant outdoor play area! And the range of things he does. He has also trying new healthy foods since being at RAFA Kidz Digby and his speech which we were concerned by is coming on leaps and bounds! After 1 month at RAFA he can now count to 10 as well. So many milestones being smashed but also the emotional support when your child is upset or not settling is amazing. My son loves his key worker.
Thank you for your lovely comments, it is so nice to see him so settled with us.

This is a truly excellent nursery! My daughter absolutely loves her days here. It is clear that the staff really care and enjoy being with the children; they also provide excellent activities and food! It was difficult for me to send her to nursery as a first-time parent, but I know she is cared for and looked after - plus, all the updates on her throughout the day help put my mind at ease.
Thank you so much for your lovely comments, it is much appreciated.

They also send termly reports on your child's progress so you know if there are any areas to be worked on at home.
All the staff are really friendly and management respond to any queries quickly.
Thank you for your review, we are glad our app helps to share with you what we have been doing as we love to include our families.
Teachers and all staff have been amazingly supportive and friendly. They welcome everyone regardless of race or colour. They teach the kids well and help them in every activity and make sure they all participate. I am particularly pleased with my child’s progress.

Thank you for your lovely review, we are very much all-inclusive and welcome everyone into our nursery family.
Our son has been attending RAFA KIDZ for a year and a half. He has loved his time in the baby room and toddler room. The teachers are wonderful with the kids, always providing engaging activities and communicating with parents. We feel safe leaving our son with them.

He loves all the activities they put on and it is lovely to see the weekly update on what they have been doing that week. It is a lovely little preschool and the way he runs to the staff in the morning says it all for me!
Thank you so much for this lovely review. The staff are so amazing at all they do.
They have been very accommodating for my child. She has settled in well and is loving the environment and staff. The facilities here are also great too especially the outside play areas. I would recommend

My little boy started at Rafa Kidz Digby last year after previously attending another setting. At first, I was a little nervous as to how he would settle in a new environment as he is so young however I was soon put at ease by the wonderful staff at Rafa Kidz and I saw how easy he settled and how happy he is every day! The activities the nursery do each day are fantastic and I doubt there is ever a dull moment! The brilliant communication with the nursery and the environment itself is why I'd highly recommend this setting!

My daughter has been attending RAFA Kidz Digby nursery for coming up to a year. She started when she was 7 months old and I was quite anxious about leaving her and returning to work. The setting provided settling in days and reassured me throughout the initial period. My daughter has settled in so well and I am kept up to date with lots of photos and feedback at picking up time. I was able to continue breast feeding with support from the nursery staff which is really important to me. My daughter loves going to the nursery, she happily runs to the staff with a big smile on her face and seeing her flourish there is incredible to watch. She does lots of daily activities and has learnt some baby sign language. I highly recommend this nursery.
What a lovely review, thank you so much for taking the time to give us some feedback.

My daughter has a wonderful time at this nursery, she is always very excited about going and she's always happy when we pick her up and tells us all about the great things she's been enjoying. The staff are very helpful, easy to communicate with and understanding. They do lots of activities and are very keen on ensuring the best in developing skills and knowledge. My daughter is growing with confidence and the nursery plays a part in that. As a parent I have full confidence my daughter's interests and needs are a priority for the staff. The preschool is looking for funding to update the outside play area which will make it perfect.
Thank you so much for the review. We have some good news coming soon about our preschool garden!

Both our boys go to RAFA Kidz Digby and we can not praise them enough. Our eldest has been there from almost 1 year old and will be moving up to preschool soon, he is sometimes upset going in but I am reassured each time and sent messages to let me know he is fine. We know both our boys enjoy their time there and get excited when we talk about their days and show pictures on the app. The staff are always there not only to make sure the children are OK but there for us too. I personally was very worried about how our youngest would settle and had many conversations running up to him starting 9 months ago, he got a certificate to say how well he had done in his 1st week and I would say going by the pictures from his room he likes to think he rules the roost in there! The food is healthy and varied, our youngest eats things there he doesn't at home! They're always doing amazing activities and learning so much and most importantly to us are very happy there.
How lovely, thank you so much for your lovely review.

A wonderful nursery, my son has been going for a few months now. The ladies there are really lovely and really helped him settle in well when he was anxious to start with. The setting itself is full of fun things for the children to do, lots of really great activities done daily with regular updates via an app. My son loves attending now and loves the ladies who look after him. He also has his meals there and the food offered is always nutritious and varied. Highly recommend this nursery for your little one!
Thank you so much, we are so pleased you like what we do and your comments are very much appreciated.

Lots of communication with updates of what the children have been up to, lots of messy play and they always get to go outside come rain or shine. All the children look happy and engaged when I walk past the nursery or I see them on a trip around the camp.

We know that our daughter is well looked after by the staff and stimulated by all of the different fun activities they do each day. This is a great nursery setting and I love how we get updated throughout the day on what they eat and when they nap. I would definitely recommend this nursery!

My partner and I have a little girl in RAFA Kidz Nursery who has been attending since Oct 21 from the age of nine months. As first time parents, it was a daunting experience sending your child to nursery, however, the staff here are incredible. And the whole process was seamless, filling us with the utmost confidence. Most days our little girl barely says goodbye to us before she runs through the door, and that is down to the professionalism and engagement of all the practitioners. They are kept fully engaged throughout the day and we have seen our little girl develop in leaps and bounds. The engagement with parents is also fantastic, we get to see everything that the kids have been up to on a day-to-day basis, from what they've eaten, what activities they have enjoyed and any key observations that have been made. There outdoor play facilities are also very good, new and modern, and rain or shine they get the kids outside! We're glad our little one is here and we couldn't thank you all enough!
It's such a relief to know that I’m sending my children somewhere that they are happy to go to and visibly enjoy themselves when you see them through the window or in the play areas.

It's such a relief to know that I’m sending my children somewhere that they are happy to go to and visibly enjoy themselves when you see them through the window or in the play areas.
The practitioners are all wonderful and approachable. We are kept up to date weekly on how the children are doing and what activities they have been up to with photos via the new family app. We can communicate with the staff as needed face to face, via phone and the app with what we do out of nursery or if we've any issues/changes etc.
The food is healthy and varied and changed termly, which the parents are involved in the menu options.
The baby room sends a weekly book home, which is a fab idea too!
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this review. The practitioners and staff go above and beyond and will love to read this, thank you.
