We are so happy with RAFA Kidz Brize Norton! I feel really reassured knowing my son is well looked after and settled at nursery. We receive lots of updates via the app and face to face during pick up and he always comes out really happy and smiley!

Overall Experience

My son has been coming to this nursery since the baby room, and every room with all members of staff has been amazing. The management has been kind, caring and supportive. I couldn't ask for a better place for my son.

Overall Experience

My little boy has attended this nursery and now pre-school since he was 8 months old, he's now 3.5. I can't explain how much he loves the place. It's like a big family. The staff are all so welcoming and will always help with any queries you might have. The meals served are nutritious and filling and he always goes for 2nds it's that good! His development in speech, communication, and social ques is all down to the nursery and pre-school. For me, it's the best one in the area.

↩Reply from Lynne Greenham, Manager at RAFAKidz Brize Norton

Laura Bologna
Laura BolognaJob Title:Nursery ManagerJoined: 2026
My name is Laura Bologna, and I am the new Nursery Manager at RAFAKidz Brize Norton.

I have been working in early years for around 10 years as a practitioner and then a room leader, and then straight to a manager position in 2020, just during the lockdown.

I am responsible for the overall leadership and day-to-day management of the nursery, ensuring high standards of care, education, and safeguarding the environment at all times.

I am passionate about leading and enhancing my teachers’ performance, maintaining full regulatory compliance, and working closely with parents and external professionals to create a safe, nurturing, and inclusive environment where children can thrive and are safe.

Looking ahead, my focus is on strengthening quality across all areas of provision, which includes continuous improvement aligned with the EYFS framework, maintaining strong outcomes for children, and ensuring we remain fully compliant with all regulatory and safeguarding requirements. I am committed to enhancing partnerships with parents; in fact, by building strong, respectful relationships with all our parents, we will create consistency between home and nursery.

I aim to ensure the nursery continues to grow sustainably, remains inspection-ready at all times, and delivers a high-quality, inclusive early years experience that meets the needs of children and all our lovely families.

I look forward to working closely with colleagues and families to support the continued growth and success of the nursery. Laura Bologna"
