RAFAKidz Brize Norton

They're brilliant!

Dropping him off each day is such a positive experience; he's always happy and settled, which speaks volumes about how comfortable and content he is. I have full trust in the team, and I'm so grateful for the love and attention they show my little one. Highly recommend this nursery!

Rafa Kidz Brize Norton is absolutely brilliant! The management team are friendly, proactive and all over the running of the nursery. The room leaders and practitioners go above and beyond to ensure these children have fun and learn. Both of my children have been with the nursery for a long time and couldn't be more happy. They have been in all age rooms in the nursery and each one has had its own routine, appropriate for the children's age, but all follow the same ethos of the nursery. There are lots of visitors and trips throughout the year and lots of different special events and occasions are celebrated. The meals are varied and healthy and both of my children have enjoyed them very much. The nursery are always open to speak with families to see if there is anything they can do more of, less of or add in.

My daughter is in preschool with Rafa Kidz. Since moving to the new building it's been great to see her grow. There are so many different themed rooms meaning she's allowed to explore what she likes and doesn't like. The curriculum has been tailored to their ages and her learning and development is coming along brilliantly. Well done team!

Pre-school is very good. Staff are good with the children and encourage development. Son never moans about going which must be a good thing. Food varies but there are a few repeat meals our son never touches and it would be good to have an alternative for him. The pick-ups are the only issue as there is a one-on-one policy which is fine but some parents are in there for 5 minutes and there is no shelter.

As requested, review of Pre School. My child is happy and content. They look forward to attending and they have a great rapport with their key worker and all other staff members. I am happy with the food and nutrition provided, no complaints from my child. As my child likes being in the outdoors, I love the outside area at Pre school, lots of space, lots of activities, enjoy seeing the updates/pictures on the app. I also like the individual rooms off the main room, so the children can chose where or what they wish to do. I love the quiet area for them. It would be great to hear how the children are being prepared for school in September, maybe an app update or even a parent's update evening?

I know when my child comes home dirty, paint-stained, or a change of wet clothes from playing outside, they have had a fun day and that as a parent is all I want to know.

Preschool - overall we find this a friendly environment. Being new, there's been a huge learning curve for all involved and the RAFA staff have made a huge effort to make this transition possible and effective. Unfortunately we have found there to be a lack of communication between staff and parents, with the standard phrase of "they've had a nice day" used, and no real understanding of what the children are doing day to day or a quality handover experience, resulting in the app not being utilised effectively. Difficult to give an accurate rating, as we do not have a full understanding of this without that communication. However, with the current implementation of improvements planned, this be a great opportunity for the company and families involved.

All staff are so friendly approachable and genuinely care for you and your child. This nursery has made going back to work a breeze knowing he is so happy and safe in their care.

My daughter has loved her time at RAFA Kidz Brize Norton and that is thanks to all the staff there who make her days full of creative, fun ways to learn. She is always encouraged to explore which is second nature to her. My expectation for a nursery setting is to embed a love of learning through play and that’s exactly what she has been given. Thank you to each and every one of you for keeping my daughter safe and starting her learning journey off in such a positive light.

Excellent facility and friendly staff which make a safe enjoyable environment for our children. Well managed from top to bottom in conjunction with very good communication from all staff regarding the children.

Both my children are coming along so well here. They both love coming into the setting and always leave with smiles on their faces. Staff are very welcoming and approachable and I feel confident leaving my children in their care. Communication is great with regular updates and photographs outlining what has been happening during the day. Staff work well with parents to facilitate appointments, allergies and other requirements.

I cannot recommend this nursery enough!

I am a serving member of the armed forces and find that the service provided by Rafa kids Brize Norton is nothing short of outstanding. The staff are friendly and welcoming and take an active interest in the children and the importance of their development. They have also been very accommodating when my own work commitments have changed, often affecting my drop-off or pick-up time at the 11th hour. I would highly recommend this service, and if you are a serving member of the armed forces with a child of nursery age, I would suggest it would be a foolish decision not to take advantage of the service.

My son has been going here since he was 1. The staff are absolutely lovely and have been so supportive. I’m a military mum and have had to deploy for months while he’s been going through nursery. They were amazing, helping my husband out and being supportive for my son.

A great nursery. My little girl has loved attending from day 1. All members of staff are polite and friendly. The facilities are great. Information on their day (food/sleep/nappies) is shared seamlessly on their app, the only thing missing is if we could find out more of their day to day development and what activities they’ve been doing. Otherwise a super nursery, extremely reasonable compared to others in the area and we’re very lucky to have it on our doorstep.

Warm, welcoming setting. Worked well to help settle my apprehensive daughter and always reassured me with messages/pictures that she was happy and having fun. Incredible staff who really understand the children and some of the tough times they go through with deployments and work together to help ease this. Would recommend to anyone looking for a setting for their children. Thank you everyone.

Excellent nursery with caring staff. Both my children have been happy here and made good progress in their development. Recent changes have meant staff are now more able to give written feedback regularly about my child's learning. Staff are wonderful in each room and we have been very happy to send our children here. Some activities off site for the older children would be wonderful e.g. a nature walk locally

Our son attends here two mornings per week and he couldn’t be happier going to nursery. It’s reassuring to see your child happily going in and leaving with a big smile on his face. It’s the first nursery we have ever used and have had a fantastic experience. The staff are always friendly and we love the regular updates on the app. It’s great to see him thriving at such a supportive caring setting

We love RAFA Kidz Brize Norton! Our son is so happy and excited to attend each and every day. All the staff, not just our son’s room staff, are friendly, helpful and welcoming. They know and recognise us, and also greet our son by name daily. The staff take great pride in their jobs caring for our son and are always happy to help and accommodate any worries we may have. Communication is super as are the weekly updates about what the nursery and our specific room have been up to each week. We can’t recommend RAFA Kidz more highly!

My Daughter has been at this nursery for over 18 months, she has gone from strength to strength here with the support and love she has received. The food provided is excellent and offers such a variety each day.
