Review from B S (Father of Child) published on 16 December 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Louis has recently received a diagnosis of cerebral palsy. He has been undergoing test/ treatment since January 2025 for this. Rafakodz Worthy Down have been really supportive during this time. The staff are really engaging asking how they can support Louis additional needs and have a very enthusiastic approach. They use games to encourage Louis to use his non dominant side and are brilliant at communicating Louis progression.
Louis has improved immensely over the last year and the nursery have had such a large role in this. They have welcomed in Louis physio and occupational therapists to help get guidance in ways to further help Louis progression. Both physio and occupational therapist were really pleased with how Rafakidz worthy down are helping Louis develop.

As parents we couldn't ask for better service and support with the nursery for our son.

Overall Experience

My grandson loves coming to nursery and he has made great relationships with the wonderful, kind and smiling staff team. They have helped him to make friends and play happily. He talks about his friends and the exciting activities he has done each day. He also loves all the food and healthy snacks!

Overall Experience
My daughter has been at RAFAKidz now for a year and we couldn't be happier! She is so happy to go in and can even get sad at pick up time because she is having so much fun! The staff are absolutely amazing, they are always happy and up beat and really take the time to get to know you as a family and your child. There is always different activities going on and there is a different theme everyweek making it exciting for the childen (and parents). Handovers are very informative and they are always happy to answer any questions! The staff really do make this nursery!
My daughter is aways saying how much she enjoys the food, she is now eating so much more than before and trying all new foods.
Management at RAFA are also lovely, very approachable and no request is too big.

It is a fab little nursery and I would definitely recommend to any one in the area!

Overall Experience
We couldn't be happier with the care our daughter receives at this nursery. The staff are absolutely fantastic, warm, kind, and genuinely caring. It's clear how much they value each child and we've seen our daughter thrive under their attentive support. Each week brings a new and exciting theme, whether it's exploring the sea, learning about animals, dinosaurs, or understanding important values including kind hands which we now use at home. Activities are thoughtfully planned and beautifully delivered. It's been amazing to watch our daughter come home excited, and shattered from all the activities. Our daughter always enjoys the food, and we appreciate knowing that she's getting nutritious, well-balanced meals while in their care often all+!

Most importantly, we feel complete trust in the team to give our daughter the highest level of care. It's a warm, nurturing environment that truly puts children first, and we're so grateful to be part of this nursery community

Overall Experience

I just wanted to take the time to give some recognition to the team at RAFA Kidz Worthy Down.

As im sure all parents are, my wife and I were initially apprehensive about which nursery to choose for our little daughter but we are beyond grateful that we made the right choice. Our little girl has developed so much in her short time there, we have seen her personality really blossom and we know it is due to the hardwork and dedication of the staff. The nursery like all nurseries is just a building but it is the staff that really go the extra mile to ensure our daughter is not only cared for but flourishing daily. Our little girl doesn't love the nursery she loves the staff and we can see why.

Unfortunately I am limited to only 1000 characters but I would just like to say to anyone reading this if you have any reservations about RAFA Kidz, go and visit. I couldn't thank the team enough and my only regret is I wont be able to keep my little girl at this age and there forever.

Review from Sasha C (Mother of Child) published on 12 November 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
This nursery is bloody fantastic!
My child didn't have long to settle into the nursery (my fault) and she was quite upset initially, as is usual for young children. However, my child's key person got to know my child and their interests and created bespoke activities she was interested in, in order to help her settle. This was beyond my expectations, and I was very very impressed.
Every single member of staff is a delight- so, so lovely and they really care for all the children.
I've spoken to other parents outside the nursery and they feel the same. You can see that all the children are very happy here. This nursery is a hidden gem!
My daughter wasn't a huge eater before she attended this setting, but the food she has tried and eaten here is phenomenal. They even have their own chef! I've seen the food and it looks delicious. My child has changed so much- she has learned to trust other adults due to the kindness of the nursery staff.

I highly highly recommend this nursery.

Jo Sadler

I always wanted to work with children in some way, so I studied for my level three in college and then went to work in one of the settings I had done some work experience in. This was the start of my early years’ journey. I’ve worked my way up from being a practitioner to now being a manager, and I have recently completed my level five. I have a passion for supporting children with additional needs, so I was so keen to take on the role of special educational needs coordinator for the setting. It is a real pleasure to be able to work with children and watch them grow, and to know you have played a part in shaping their futures.
