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.

RAFAKidz Medmenham has been fantastic for our little boy. His development constantly astounds us, and the nursery clearly take great pride in looking after him and ensuring he enjoys his time whilst there. All of the staff are super friendly and every day he seems to do something different but mostly he enjoys the large outdoor space which they use all year round!
It's a real partnership between staff and parents and I know they all give the very best care and education that's giving them a head start for school.

It's a real partnership between staff and parents and I know they all give the very best care and education that's giving them a head start for school.
The children do all sorts of activities that are far more fun, creative and educational than I could imagine and usually come home tired and sometime a bit muddy/ glittery/ sweaty as kids should do at that age.
The weekly photo updates are the highlight of the week showing just how much they are doing.
We couldn't be happier with our choice of nursery. The outdoor area is absolutely amazing and provides the children with so many opportunities to explore, learn and develop through play. The forest school is a real highlight and has helped foster confidence, independence and a love of the outdoors...
What truly makes this nursery special, however, is the staff. They are caring, supportive and genuinely invested in each child's development. Over the years they have become like an extended family to us, and it is clear how much they value and nurture every child in their care.
Most importantly, our daughter is incredibly happy at the setting.
We are so grateful for everything the team has done for our daughter and would highly recommend this nursery to any family looking for a warm, nurturing and inspiring environment for their child.

We continue to watch our daughter thrive under the exceptional care at RAFA Kidz Medmenham. It's such a nurturing environment and the staff go above and beyond. She frequently mentions Danny and Hannah when telling us about her day and we are beyond grateful for how proactive Sammy & Victoria have been with her interventions for a physical impairment. We are so grateful to have her at this nursery and she continues to flourish.

For all your patience day to day,
For every tear you wiped away,
For my small hand so gently led,
For every story that you read,
For your loving caring heart,
For all the knowledge you impart,
For funny songs and quiet times,
For nap time pats and nursery rhymes,
For being kind, for being fair,
For teaching me the way to share,
For every wrong that you put right,
And every dance with disco lights
For every new thing that I tried
And thoughtful words that gave me pride,
For always being there for me,
I'm grateful and will always be,
You helped me shine, you helped me grow,
But now it's time for me to go,
Though we won't now spend our days together,
The love that you gave will last forever.
We honestly couldn't be happier with this nursery. As a first-time Mum, I felt naturally anxious about sending my child to nursery, but from the very beginning they put me completely at ease. The staff are incredibly experienced and are so warm, kind and caring, it's clear how much they enjoy what...
Our little boy has settled in quickly and is absolutely thriving. He is always so well cared for and has a big smile on his face when I come to collect him. The outdoor space is incredible too!
Communication is excellent, which gives us real peace of mind. I really value the regular updates and photos, it's reassuring to see what he's been doing and how happy he is. We feel very grateful to have found such a wonderful nursery for our little boy.
We have had a wonderful experience with our 1 year old boy at RAFA Kids. The kindness, care and professionalism of the team goes above and beyond. Our little boy settled in very quickly and is so happy every time we drop him off and pick him up. All the kids seem to love it there!

RAFA Kidz was amazing for my little boy. He went from the baby room all the way through to the pre-school room and I couldn't have been happier with how he progressed in that time. He's only left to go into Reception at the local school! The staff make you feel like part of the nursery family and you can see the care that they have for all the kids they look after. That's to the nursery staff and setting he's a confident and bright little boy who loves being outdoors. All I can say is a massive thanks to all the staff.
I simply can't praise RAFA KidzZ Medmenham enough; the amazing staff who really care and took the time to understand our daughter, the wonderful opportunities the team provided for all the children and the fantastic outdoor and forest school provisions, all left me feeling lucky that my daughter...
I simply can't praise RAFA KidzZ Medmenham enough; the amazing staff who really care and took the time to understand our daughter, the wonderful opportunities the team provided for all the children and the fantastic outdoor and forest school provisions, all left me feeling lucky that my daughter was there. Every single day that my daughter attended she ran in with a smile. When staff spoke to us about our daughter, or reports were sent home, I was always warmed and impressed by how well staff understood our daughter, the positives and the challenges, and just how much care they had shown. The outdoor space is fantastic, and children are given so many opportunities to explore and enjoy being outside. The forest school was a win every time with our daughter who always came home full of tales of what she had done and learnt, including all the safety notes. Staff put so much care into providing the children with special memories, and I always fully trusted that she was in the very best place.
RAFA Kidz Medmenham is simply the best. I could gush about every aspect, but what it really comes down to and revolves around are the beyond amazing staff. Everyone I've met is excellent at what they do, and they work so incredibly well as a team, which is reflected in the very minimal staff...
RAFA Kidz Medmenham is simply the best. I could gush about every aspect, but what it really comes down to and revolves around are the beyond amazing staff. Everyone I've met is excellent at what they do, and they work so incredibly well as a team, which is reflected in the very minimal staff turnover - and I think that says a lot in itself. Ever since switching nurseries to RAFA Kidz I haven't had one concern, everything is handled with precision. My son had the best three years there and grew in confidence massively, he's gone off to school very well prepared and excited for it thanks to the expert guidance of the team at RAFA. I could go on about the wonderful outside space, forest school, creative play, food etc. but I'm running out of words! A million thank you's to this perfect team and I'm so happy my daughter gets to spend the next three years under their fabulous care as well!

I couldn't be more grateful for the exceptional care and support provided by Rafa Kidz. From the moment we arrived, the team made us feel like part of the family. Their warmth and genuine care created a home away from home for her. The outdoor space is fantastic, with plenty of room for the children to explore, and forest school added an incredible dimension to her learning. My daughter loved every moment spent outside, engaging with nature and enjoying hands-on activities that sparked her curiosity and creativity. Communication was always clear and consistent, giving us peace of mind that she was thriving. The team did an excellent job preparing her for the transition to school, and we can see the positive impact in her confidence and enthusiasm for learning. I highly recommend Rafa Kidz Medmenham for anyone looking for a nurturing, friendly, and inspiring nursery experience. Thank you to the whole team for making her last years so special.
Wonderful nursery with competent, caring staff. Incredible outdoor space. Our child was really happy there for the +2 years she's gone. We feel so lucky to have gotten her into this wonderful nursery.

My daughter attends the oaks room (pre-school room) and she absolutely loves going. The staff take the time to know and understand your child and the communication is excellent. They write a lovely end-of-the-week summary on the app the nursery uses with photos so you know what your child has been up to that week. The activities are child-led and are always created with the child in mind. The outside area is brilliant. The children are always outside in the garden whatever the weather which my daughter loves. Her particular favourite activity is forest school. She will always come home eagerly telling us what she did that day. Group activities are created for the children leaving for school so that they are ready to go. The meals are made in-house and are healthy and nutritious. My daughter will try different types of food that she wouldn't necessarily try at home. We will be really sad to leave RAFA kidz to start the new journey of 'big' school!
We're very fortunate our daughter attended this nursery. It's had such a positive influence on her and her development. The staff are first class and the facilities both inside and out are excellent. The kids have a great environment to play and learn. The standards are high and maintained, and...
We're very fortunate our daughter attended this nursery. It's had such a positive influence on her and her development. The staff are first class and the facilities both inside and out are excellent. The kids have a great environment to play and learn. The standards are high and maintained, and that's consistent throughout all the staff. We'll miss this nursery and we leave with fond memories. Thank you all for making it such a wonderful experience.
The staff at RAFA Kidz Medmenham are amazing. My son (3) joined in August last year, and they have made the transition smooth and enjoyable for us all. He can't wait to come in in the morning and is full of stories of what they get up to when he comes home. He is a late talker, and the staff have...
I love the updates we receive throughout the week, both with stories and photos of what they get up to (usually messier play than the staff intended I'm sure!) and also reminders for parents which have helped keep us organised.
The staff are lovely and friendly, giving us updates on pick up, but also happy to discuss development and any concerns we may have.
All in all, an excellent nursery with wonderful staff.
We are so incredibly happy with the service and level of care provided by RAFA Kidz Medmenham. Every staff member is so kind, caring and supportive and they go above and beyond to provide inspiring and enriching experiences for our children. The facilities are fabulous and the forest school...
The staff are all approachable and the communication with parents is always timely and informative. We have had two children attend the nursery, one who is still there currently, and both have been so happy and supported in their environments. It is so reassuring to know that our children are in the safe, caring and stimulating environment that RAFA Kidz provides.
My daughter is 14 months and joined at 9 months. She loves it. Her transition went extremely well. I was able to ease her in and continue to pop in to feed her as there is a breastfeeding room available and staff are incredibly supportive. She settled into the routine really well. The staff are so...
My daughter has grown in confidence and developed quickly. She sings recognisable songs at home and uses sign language with us. Her independent skills have flourished and she is clearly thriving. Now that she is walking, it is wonderful to see her walk into nursery happily. It is therefore clear that she is happy.
The feedback is great. There is a programme of varied activities. The equipment and the use of outside space are also excellent.
I cannot recommend RAFA Kids Medmenham enough, all of my three children have been at the nursery over the last seven years and my third child is currently in Bluebells. I would not even consider another nursery, the staff are absolutely amazing with the children and they have all loved coming to...
I cannot recommend RAFA Kids Medmenham enough, all of my three children have been at the nursery over the last seven years and my third child is currently in Bluebells. I would not even consider another nursery, the staff are absolutely amazing with the children and they have all loved coming to nursery, it’s like their second home. The setting is lovely and welcoming and the variety of toys and activities that they have for the children makes it a really fun place to be. Thank you for the love and care you all give and the big warm cuddles.
Having moved to Medmenham in December 2023, my son joined the acorns class. He was quite upset about the change in the childcare setting. I received excellent advice and guidance from the ladies. He now runs into the nursery in the morning and has a great day. This is a credit to the Acorns team...
A huge thank you to the team for making us feel so welcome, and for running a great setting.

My son has attended the RAFA Kidz Nursery in Medmenham for the past two years and I have seen him develop and thrive under the care of the staff there. Particularly his speech and communication skills. The activities are fun and diverse whilst still delivering a solid routine that I have found really helps him. The facilities at the setting are amazing, especially the garden. Come rain or shine the children are out exploring which again is something he loves. The staff are super and communication is simple and easy. 10/10! Cannot wait for our youngest to start there too!
