Overall Experience
I cannot praise Norbury Hill Cubs enough-there is simply no other nursery like this in the world. The staff have a true passion for working with children and take an incredible, independent approach to each child. They are patient and allow children to grow and learn at their own pace.
My son has flourished since starting here. He went from being a very shy and quiet boy to a confident and open child who is excited to participate and express himself. He even learned English at the nursery with no help from us, as we speak a different language at home. I also have a 3-month-old at home, and if we weren't moving abroad, I wouldn't even consider another place for his care.
The staff also organise so many wonderful activities, from trips to parks, forests, libraries, and bus rides to even shopping trips. There's always something engaging and exciting planned for the children.

Thank you to all the amazing staff at Norbury Hill Cubs for your hard work and dedication. You are truly the best!

Overall Experience

My daughter started with Norbury Hill Cubs in May 2024 and she absolutely loves it. She was in a different nursery prior to this and was neglected so I had to move her. I'm so glad I did. There is a massive difference in her behaviour when I pick her up. At the old nursery, she was quiet and didn't seem happy. At Norbury Hill Cubs, she is happy, singing in the car on the way home. Sometimes she cries because she doesn't want to come home. I am so glad I moved her. She has learned so much there. The manager is amazing, she goes above and beyond for the children. She organises lots of fun activities and the children expand their taste buds with a variety of foods served at meal times. The staff are warm and friendly. You are kept up to date with daily pictures on the app and parents' messaging group. Thank you to the manager and Norbury Hill Cubs team.

Sara Rafique
Sara RafiqueJob Title:ManagerJoined: 2007

Sara Rafique is the Manager and founder of Norbury Hill Cubs, bringing a unique and diverse background to early years education. Her career began at the Wall Street Journal, underpinned by degrees in History and Politics as well as Law, before she discovered her true passion in early childhood education and obtained her Early Years Teacher Status (EYTS).

Sara's journey in her early years began in 2007 as a childminder, and by 2009, she transformed the home she grew up in into Norbury Hill Cubs nursery – creating a space filled with personal warmth and genuine care. For over 18 years, she has been dedicated to working with young children, driven by a deep commitment to their development and well-being.

Her approach to early years education is strongly influenced by Reggio Emilia and Montessori theories, which she weaves throughout the nursery's practice. Sara is passionate about ensuring every child experiences the nursery's core ethos of Grow, Explore, Develop, and Celebrate, believing that each child deserves an environment where they can flourish emotionally, socially, and intellectually while being truly seen and valued as an individual.
